Characterisation of Ti-6Al-4V Reciprocating Sliding Wear Test Behaviour

Abstract:

Sliding contact will experience wear in majority of mechanical components during their service life where it reduces the performance of the components. The capability to predict the evolution of reciprocating wear scars, such as the scar’s width and depth, would be a valuable tool when designing mechanical components. Wear scar mechanism behaviour is characterised during stabilized cycle reciprocating sliding wear test of Ti-6Al-4V investigated using pin-on-flat arrangement under variable duration of sliding. The test samples were analyzed using profilometer test, optical microscopy test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) test, Energy Depressive X-ray (EDX) test and Vickers Hardness (HV) test. Stabilised high number of cycles shows low wear rate and initiation period of low cycles produced higher wear rate.
