高真空無潤滑下における無電解Ni合金めっき歯車の摩擦・摩耗(機械要素,潤滑,工作,生産管理など)

A gear test and a two-cylinder test were carried out under non-lubricating condition in high vacuum to investigate the friction and wear behaviors of electroless Ni based alloy plated gears in vacuum. The gear test results were compared with the two-cylinder test results. Three kinds of electroless Ni based alloy platings and two kinds of composite platings with dispersed particles were employed here. In case of the Ni-P alloy plated gear with dispersed PTEE particles, the wear was almost uniform along the tooth profile and the fluctuation of the dynamic load was small. In cases of the Ni-B alloy plating, the Ni-P-B alloy plating and the Ni-P alloy plating with dispersed BN particles, the wear of the gear pairs was large, while the wear of the cylinders was rather small. Though the wear in the two-cylinder test was much smaller than that in the gear test, the average friction coefficients in both the two tests were almost the same with each other.
