Study on Friction and Wear of Several Metal Materials under Oil Lubrication

The friction and wear properties of several common metal materials (45#, 25CrMn, and 40CrNiMo) friction pair under oil lubrication was investigated on M-200 Type wear tester, and studied the friction under the condition of differ sliding speed and pressure. The results show that: the 25CrMn/45# steel pair has better tribological and wear performance; the load is the main factor which influences the friction of the material at the low sliding speed; the main wear form is adhesive wear, but the wear mechanism is gradually became from adhesive wear to abrasive wear and flaking wear with the contact pressure and sliding speed increased.
