金属の微動摩耗について : 第2報, 摩耗機構の解析

抄録

An analysis of the mechanism of wear is given and a general formula for the relation between the volume of the worn away material and the load is obtained. In this analysis the number of contacts of small protuberances in the surface is assumed to be x^m/h, where x is the depth of deformation of the surface, h the mean distance between protuberances and m a constant. The general formula obtained is as follows : [numerical formula] where L' is the volume of the worn away material per unit length, W₂ the load and y, m, p constants. This formula coincides well with the experimental relation L∝W^0.7 which is mentioned in the first report. Discussions are given on the process of developing the oxide dust between the surfaces.
