Original scientific paper Aiming at answering the questions of wear and failure of hob in the rock breaking process, the rock breaking process was simulated in different broken rock conditions by using finite element method. The relationship between normal force, lateral force, rolling force and time was obtained by rock breaking simulation analysis on the single edge disc cutter. The rock stre...

As the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. In this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

statement of problem: the effect of porcelain surface on the antagonist acrylic teeth has not been widely studied. objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of polished porcelain, glazed porcelain, and natural teeth (as the control group) on the acrylic resin teeth. materials and methods: in this experimental-laboratory study, a total of 60 specimens of glazed and polished porcelai...

The paper provides a critical appraisal of the events surrounding the unexpected settlement of large-diameter monopile foundations for offshore wind energy converters, and will detail experimentation that is to be undertaken to determine the extent of the wear failure mode in such structures. The potential for wear deterioration at the grout-steel interface has been caused by the lack of axial ...

Understanding third-body wear is difficult when the size of particle reaches nanoscale, because plasticity produced at nanoscale exhibits a effect resulting from dislocation in finite volume. Through molecular dynamics simulations, we observed that induces two failure patterns wear: brittle due to highly localized deformation mildly compressive particles and ductile exfoliation-like severely co...

Surface wear of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip joints is an ongoing problem that can result in the formation of nano-wear particles and premature failure of the prosthesis. Wear is essentially controlled by the properties of the synovial lubricating film and the nature of the articulating surface. The interfacial film thickness formed within the loaded contact zone during the gait cycle is the most i...

in this research, b4c-ni cermet coating was sprayed on the surface of 4130 steel from b4c and ni feed-stockpowders using high velocity oxy-fuel (hvof) method. in order to characterize the tribological behavior of thecoating, ball on disk wear tests were done at the ambient temperature and under the loads of 1, 3 and 5 n.phase analysis of the coating after spraying was studied by x-ray diffracto...

In a tractor hydraulic/transmission oil contamination is a serious problem as it works in such environment, these contamination may be in different forms dust particles, water, oxidation & corrosion products ,wear metal particles. Metal wear particles plays a significant role in failure of hydraulic system such as jamming of control valve, worn out of sealing element etc. Removal of these metal...
