Abstract

This investigation pertains to some observations on the sliding wear behaviour of a zincbased alloy and grey cast iron as influenced by the content of talc particles suspend in SAE40 oil lubricant. Tribological parameters evaluated using a pin-on-disc machine were wear rate, frictional heating and friction coefficient. The study suggests that the presence of suspended talc particles in the oil lubricant brought about improved wear response of the samples. However, the degree of improvement was strongly dependent on the talc content and even adverse effect of talc addition beyond a limit was noted. The observed wear response of the samples has been eXplained in terms of characteristics like compatibility, lubricating and cracking tendency of various microconstituents of the specimen materials and formation and stability of lubricant film during sliding. Characteristic features of wear surfaces, subsurface regions and debris particles enabled to further substantiate the wear response of the samples.
