Pitting wear is a dominant from of polyethylene surface damage in total knee replacements, and may originate from surface cracks that propagate under repeated tribological contact. In this study, stress intensity factors, K$\_$I/and $_{4}$, were calculated for a surface crack in a polyethylene-CoCr-bone system under the rolling and/or sliding contact pressures. Crack length and load location were considered in determination of probable crack propagation mechanisms and fracture modes. Positive K$\_$I/ values were obtained for shorter cracks in rolling contact and for all crack lengths when the sliding load was apart from the crack. $_{4}$ was the greatest when the load was directly adjacent to the crack (g/a=${\pm}$1). Sliding friction caused a substantial increase of both K$\_$I/$\^$max/ and $_{4}$$\^$max/. The effective Mode I stress intensity factors, K$\_$eff/, were the greatest at g/a=${\pm}$1, showing the significance of high shear stresses generated by loads adjacent to surface cracks. Such behavior of K$\_$eff/ suggests mechanisms for surface pitting by which surface cracks may propagate along their original plane under repeated rolling or sliding contact.

In this study, the optimized design profiles between a seal ring and a seal seat of contacting seal units has been proposed based on the FEM computed results. The maximum temperatures, the thermal distortions in axial and radial directions, and maximum contact normal stresses between a seal ring and a seal seat have been analyzed for various contact sealing profiles. The FEM computed results present that the contact area between seal rings and seal seats is very important for a good tribological performance such as low friction heating, low wear, high contact normal stress in a primary sealing components. The seal surface model III in which has a small sealing contact area shows low dilatation of primary sealing components, and high contact stress between a seal ring and a seal seat. This model with small contact surface of a seal ring produces high friction heating and contact stress. But the model III produces very small deformations of contacting sealing surface because of high convection heat transfer by cooling water circulation around the seal ring surface. Thus, the analysis results recommend a short width of a primary sealing unit rather than a big width of contact surfaces of contacting seal units for reducing a leakage and axial deformation of primary seal components.

Pitting wear is a dominant form of polyethylene surface damage in total knee replacements, and may originate from surface cracks that propagate under repeated tribological contact. In this study, stress intensity factors, $K_{I}$ and $K_{II}$, were calculated for a surface crack in a polyethylene - CoCr - bone system under the rolling and/or sliding contact pressures. Crack length and load location were considered in determination of probable crack propagation mechanisms and fracture modes. Positive $K_{I}$ values were obtained for shorter cracks in rolling contact and for all crack lengths when the sliding load was apart from the crack. $K_{II}$, was the greatest when the load was directly adjacent to the crack $(g/a={\pm}1)$. Sliding friction caused a substantial increase of both $K_{I}^{max}$ and $K_{II}^{max}$. The effective Mode I stress intensity factors, $K_{eff}$, were the greatest at $g/a={\pm}1$, showing the significance of high shear stresses generated by loads adjacent to surface cracks. Such behavior of $K_{eff}$ suggests mechanisms for surface pitting by which surface cracks may propagate along their original plane under repeated rolling or sliding contact.

With the recent increase in the demand for the net-shape forming, numerical simulations are being commonly adopted to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of design of bulk metal forming processes. Proper consideration of tribological problems at the contact interface between the tool and workpiece is crucial in such simulations. In other words, lubrication and friction play important roles in metal forming by influencing the metal flow, forming load and die wear. In order to quantitatively estimate such friction condition or lubricant characteristic, the constant shear friction model is widely used for bulk deformation analyses. For this, new friction testing method based on the forward or backward extrusion process is proposed to predict the shear friction factor in this work. In this method, the tube-shaped punch pressurizes the workpiece so that the heights at the center and outer of punch (or mandrel) become different according to the friction condition. That is, the height at the center of punch is higher than that at the outer of the punch when the friction condition at the contact interface is severe. From this founding, the proposed friction testing method can be applied to effectively evaluate the friction condition in bulk metal forming processes.

Electrodeposited Ni and Ni-SiC composite coatings were prepared on Cu substrates by using the Ni-Sulfamate electrolytic bath. Thus prepared samples were subjected for the two different types of post surface modification techniques; i.e. Laser Surface Texturing (LST) and Ultrasonic Nano Surface Modification (UNSM), respectively in order to investigate their effects on surface and interface related properties of the coatings. Hemispherical dimples, with 80 to 200 um dimple spacing, were created and examined on the surfaces of the materials studied. The results revealed that micro-surface texturing with 150 um dimple spacing considerably improved the coefficient of friction. Dimple spacing accuracy and incorporated second phase ceramic particles both contributed significantly to reduction in coefficient of friction. On the other hand, application of UNSM considerably modified the surface topography, led to increase the Vickers microhardness, and reduced the wear and coefficient of friction as compared to non UNSM treated Ni and Ni-SiC samples.

Novel ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/zirconia composites were previously prepared by the in situ polymerization of ethylene using a Ti-based Ziegler-Natta catalyst supported on to the surface of zirconia, as a bearing material for artificial joints. Tribological tests revealed that a uniform dispersion of zirconia in UHMWPE markedly increased the wear resistance. The effects of zirconia content on the oxidation behavior of the ${\gamma}$-ray-treated UHMWPE/zirconia composite surfaces were examined. The oxidation index that estimates the oxidation degree as the content of total carbonyl compounds was monitored using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance. The changes in the surface composition due to the oxidation were confirmed by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. The extent of oxidation decreased with increasing zirconia content, which was attributed to the increased crystallinity as well as the decreased polymer portion of the UHMWPE/zirconia composites.

Laser surface texturing (LST), a surface engineering modification, has been considered as one of the new processes used to improve tribological characteristics of materials by creating artificially patterned microstructure on the contact surface of mechanical components. In LST technology, the laser is optimized to obtain or manufacture the dimples with maximum precision. The micro-dimples reduce the coefficients of friction and also improve the wear resistance of materials. This study investigates the effect of dimple density is investigated. For this purpose, a ball-on-disc type tester is used with AISI 52100 bearing steel as the test material. Discs are textured with a 5% and 10% dimple density. Experimental work is performed with normal loads of 5 N, 10 N, and 15 N under a fixed speed of 150 rpm at room temperature. The effect of the textured surface is compared to that of the untextured one. Experimental results show that the textured surface yields lower friction coefficients compared to those of untextured surfaces. Specifically, the 10% dimple density textured surface shows better friction reduction behavior than the 5% dimple density textured sample, and has an 18% improvement in friction reduction compared with the untextured samples. Microscopic observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the major friction mechanisms of the AISI 52100 bearing steel are adhesion, plastic deformation, and ploughing.

Notably, laser surface patterning facilitates tribological applications under lubricated sliding contacts. Consequently, a special pattern that can reduce the coefficient of friction under contact is considered necessary for improved machine efficiency. However, inappropriate pattern designs produce higher friction coefficients and cannot reduce friction. In this study, we use cast iron pins as specimens to investigate their friction and wear characteristics. Moreover, we experimentally investigate the correlation between the friction reduction effect and the design of groove crosshatch patterns fabricated with various angles and widths. We conduct a friction test using a pin-on-disc type tribometer under grease lubrication to study the friction reduction effect of the specimens, and we observe that the average coefficient of friction changes with the crosshatch angle and width. The experiment reveals that grooved crosshatch specimens with a crosshatch angle of 135°maximize friction reduction. The coefficient of friction of the groove specimens with a width of 120 ㎛ is lower than that of the specimens with a width of 200?. The friction reduction effect of the width of the groove is attributed to the density of the groove pattern. Thus, grooved crosshatch patterns can be designed to maximize friction reduction, and the friction property of a grooved crosshatch pattern is found to be related to its width and angle.

산화몰리브덴($MoO_3$)이 첨가된 산화크롬 용사코팅층을 제조하여 산화몰리브덴의 첨가에 따른 고온(450$^{\circ}C$)에서의 플라즈마 용사코팅층에 마찰, 마멸특성을 조사하였다. 마찰, 마멸 특성에 대한 실험을 위하여 왕복동 마멸시험장치를 사용하였다. TEM을 이용하여 코팅층의 미세 구조와 각 상들의 조성을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과에 의하면 산화몰리브덴이 입계로 분산되어 있어 코팅층의 경도와 밀도의 증가가 발생하였다. 마멸시험후 마멸면의 물리적 변화와 화학적 조성의 변화를 SEM와 XPS를 통하여 살펴보았다. 산화몰리브덴이 첨가된 코팅층에서 마찰계수의 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다. 산화몰리브덴이 첨가된 코팅의 마멸된 표면에 마찰, 마멸에 유리한 보호막의 형성이 광범위하게 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 보호막에 몰리브덴이 산화몰리브덴의 형태로 존재하는 것을 XPS 분석을 통하여 알 수 있었다. 보호막에 산화몰리브덴의 존재가 마찰계수를 감소시키는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 고체윤활제 중 가장 널리 사용되는 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(PTFE) 분말의 종류와 투입량에 따른 우레아 그리스의 윤활 및 유변학 특성 변화를 연구하여 최적의 윤활시스템을 구축하고자 하였다. 4,4'-메틸렌 다이페닐 다이아이소사이아네이트(MDI), 올레일아민과 시클로헥실아민을 사용하여 우레아 그리스를 합성하고, 분산법 혹은 현탁법으로 중합된 PTFE 분말을 함량별로 투입하여 그리스를 제조하였다. 제조된 그리스의 기본물성, 유변학적 및 트라이볼로지 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, PTFE의 첨가량에 따라 우레아 그리스의 주도값은 감소하지만 변화폭은 분산형 PTFE가 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 내열성과 동판부식 영향성에서는 두 가지 PTFE 분말 모두 큰 변화가 없는 것을 확인하였다. PTFE 분말의 함량 증가에 따라 전단점도는 상승하였으며, 분산형 PTFE가 점도 상승에 더 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 손실계수의 값이 1인 점에서 전단응력은 PTFE 분말이 첨가되지 않은 그리스 보다 첨가된 그리스가 더 높았고, 분산형 PTFE가 현탁형 PTFE보다 더 큰 것을 확인하였다. 두 가지 PTFE 분말 모두 우레아 그리스의 마모 감소 효과에 대한 성능 향상은 낮았지만, 내 하중 성능은 분산형 PTFE는 최대 2.5배, 현탁형 PTFE는 최대 5배의 증대 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다.
