Tribological Properties of KDP Single Crystal

Article Preview

Abstract:

Scratch tests on (001) face, doubler face and tripler face of KDP crystals are carried out at room temperature. It shows that the friction ceoffcients of different crystal faces are affected seriously by the crystal oritations, their variation periods of (001) face, doubler face and tripler face are 90o, 180o and 180o, their attitudes of relative anisotropy are 50%, 43.8% and 43.8%, and all of them are less than 0.4. The scratch mechanism of KDP crystal consists of four types: elastic and plastic deformation, ploughing, microchip, and surface damage. Differences between elastic and plastic deformation and ploughing are not obvious due to the soft-brittle nature of KDP crystal.
