Study of Some Tribological Aspects in the Contact Area of A Friction Pair Operating with Selective Transfer

Author(s): Filip Ilie, Andrei-Florin Hristache

The paper shows that under the conditions of selective transfer, there is a possibility for increasing the strain in the elements of the friction pairs without increasing their weight and size. The consequence is the increase in the actual contact surface and therefore the corresponding reduction of the actual pressure in the contact area, creating in this way the possibility for reducing friction and wear. Starting from these considerations, the paper presents some tribological aspects in the contact zone of a bronze/steel friction pair, which operates with selective transfer, based on the reduction of the real pressure in the contact zone.
