1. INTRODUCTION
1. lntroduction
Throughout the text so far, it has been
emphasized that friction, wear, and lubrication significantly influence the technology and economics of manufacturing operations. With the nature and extent of wear that tools and dies undergo, they eventually require reconditioning and replacement. In the United States alone, the total cost of replacing parts because of wear is estimated to be more than $100 billion per year.
1. lntroduction
Although you have read about the general
effects of friction and wear in manufacturing processes, this book has not yet described the fundamental mechanisms by which friction and wear occur during the interaction of workpieces, dies, and tools. Only after understanding these interactions can we begin to recommend appropriate materials and lubricants to meet specific requirements for friction and wear.
1. lntroduction
This chapter discusses those aspects of
tribology (which encompasses friction, wear, and lubrication) that are relevant to manufacturing processes. After establishing the technological basis of friction and wear, this chapter presents the fundamentals of lubrication and the metalworking fluids commonly used in manufacturing operations.
2. Friction in Metals
Friction is defined as the resistance to relative
motion between two bodies in contact under a normal load. Friction plays an important role in all metalworking and manufacturing processes because of the relative motion and forces that are always acting on tools, dies, and workpieces. Friction dissipates energy, thus generating heat, which can have detrimental effects on an operation.

2. Friction in Metals
Furthermore, because it impedes free
movement at interfaces, friction can significantly affect the flow and deformation of materials in metalworking processes. However, friction is not always undesirable. Without friction, for example, rolling metals, clamping workpieces on machines, or holding drills in chucks would be impossible. One of the most commonly accepted theories of friction is the adhesion theory.
2. Friction in Metals
It is based on the observation that two clean
and dry surfaces, regardless of how smooth they are, contact each other (junction) at only a fraction of their apparent area of contact.

2. Friction in Metals
The slope of the hills on these surfaces has been
shown to range typically between 5" and 15". In such a situation, the normal (contact) load N is supported by the minute asperities (small projections from the surface) in contact with each other. The normal stresses at these asperities therefore are high, causing plastic deformation at the junctions. This contact creates an adhesive bond between the asperities.
10 Institut Teknologi Bandung
2. Friction in Metals
In other words, the asperities form microwelds. Cold pressure welding (see Section 28.2) is
based on this principle. Sliding motion between two bodies having such an interface is possible only if a tangential force is applied. This tangential force is the force required to shear the junctions and is called the friction force (F).
11
2. Friction in Metals
The ratio of F to N is called the coefficient of
friction ().
12
2. Friction in Metals
In addition to the force required for breaking
these junctions by shearing, a ploughing force can also be present if one surface scratches the other. This force can contribute significantly to friction at the interface.

material or produce small chips or slivers, as in cutting and abrasive processes

2. Friction in Metals
Almost all the energy dissipated in overcoming
friction is converted into heat (a small fraction becomes stored energy in the plastically deformed regions), raising the interface temperature. Temperature increases with friction, speed, and low thermal conductivity and specific heat of the sliding materials. The interface temperature may be high enough to soften and even melt the surfaces, as well as cause structural changes.

These phenomena, in turn, adversely affect the
operations involved, causing surface damage. Temperature also affects the viscosity and other properties of lubricants, causing their breakdown. Note, for example, how butter and oils burn and degrade when temperatures are excessive.

4. REDUCING FRICTION
23
4. Reducing Friction
Friction can be reduced by selecting materials
that have low adhesion, such as carbides and ceramics, and by using surface films and coatings. Lubricants, such as oils, or solid films, such as graphite, interpose an adherent film between tool, die, and workpiece. The film minimizes adhesion and interactions of one surface to the other, thus reducing friction.
24
4. Reducing Friction
Friction can also be reduced significantly by
subjecting the die-workpiece interface to ultrasonic vibrations, generally at 20 kHz. These vibrations momentarily separate die and workpiece, thus allowing the lubricant to flow more freely into the interface. An additional factor is the high-frequency variation of the relative velocity between die and workpiece, thus reducing the friction at the interface.

5. FRICTION MEASUREMENT
26
5. Friction Measurement
The coefficient of friction is usually determined
experimentally, either during actual manufacturing processes or in simulated tests using small-scale specimens of various shapes. The techniques used generally involve measurement of either forces or dimensional changes in the specimen.
27
5. Friction Measurement
Because of difficulties involved in full-scale
experimentation on production equipment, particularly the high cost of interrupting production, small-scale tests simulating actual production conditions have been developed and used extensively. Unfortunately, many of these tests do not duplicate the exact conditions of the actual metalworking process, such as size of workpiece and its surface condition, the forces involved, and operating speed and temperature.

{ { As its height is reduced, the ring expands radially outward. If friction at the interfaces is zero, both the inner and outer diameters of the ring expand as if it were a solid disk. With increasing friction, the internal diameter becomes smaller. This is due to the fact that an incremental decrease in the internal diameter involves a smaller contact area, hence less frictional energy, than an incremental increase of the same magnitude on the outer diameter.

The actual size of the specimen usually is not relevant in these tests. Thus, once you know the percentage reductions in internal diameter and height, you can determine from the appropriate chart.

{ The major advantages of the ring compression test are that it does not require any force measurements and that it involves large-scale deformation of the workpiece material, as is the case in actual practice. This test can also be used for rating different metalworking fluids (also known as lubricants and coolants).

6. WEAR
39
6. Wear
Wear is defined as the progressive loss or
removal of material from a surface. Wear has important technologic and economic significance because it changes the shape of workpiece, tool, and die interfaces. By doing so, it affects the process and size and quality of the parts produced. The magnitude of the wear problem is evident in the countless parts and components that continually have to be replaced or repaired.
40
6. Wear
Examples of wear in manufacturing processes
are dull drills that have to be reground, worn cutting tools that have to be indexed or resharpened, and forming tools and dies that have to be repaired or replaced. Important components in some metalworking machinery are wear plates, which are subjected to high loads. These plates, also known as wearparts because they are expected to wear, can be replaced easily.
41 Institut Teknologi Bandung
6. Wear
Although wear generally alters the surface
topography and may result in severe surface damage, it also has a beneficial effect: It can reduce surface roughness by removing the peaks from asperities (Fig. 32.4). Thus, under controlled conditions, wear may be regarded as a kind of smoothing or polishing process.

8. Wear Measurement
Several methods can be used to observe and
measure wear. The choice of a particular method depends on:
the accuracy desired and the physical constraints of the system, such as specimen or part size and difficulty of disassembly.
8. Wear Measurement
However, for large workpieces or tools and dies,
the weighing method is not accurate because the amount of wear is usually very small compared to the overall weight of the components involved. Performance and noise level can be monitored. Worn machinery components emit more noise than new parts.
72
8. Wear Measurement
Radiography is a method in which wear
particles from an irradiated surface are transferred to the mating surface, which is then measured for the amount of radiation. An example is the transfer of wear particles from irradiated cutting tools to the back side of chips. In other situations, the lubricant can be analyzed for wear particles (spectroscopy).

This is a precision method and is used widely
for applications such as checking jet-engine component wear.
74
9. LUBRICATION
75
9. Lubrication
It has been noted that the surfaces of tools,
dies, and workpieces are usually subjected to various processes with a wide range of parameters, such as:
contact pressures (ranging from very low values to multiples of the yield stress of the workpiece material), relative speeds (from very low to very high), and temperatures (ranging from ambient to melting).
76
9. Lubrication
In addition to selecting appropriate materials
and controlling process parameters, we can also select metal working fluids to effectively reduce friction and wear. Lubrication is used extensively in all types of machinery and engines to reduce friction and wear. Although we generally think of lubricants as fluids, they can be effective in solid or semisolid forms as well.

10.1 Oils
Oils have high film strength on the surface of a
metal, as you well know if you have ever tried to clean an oily surface. Although they are very effective in reducing friction and wear, oils have low thermal conductivity and specific heat. Thus they are not effective in conducting away the heat generated by friction and plastic deformation in metalworking.
89
10.1 Oils
Oils also are difficult and costly to remove from
component surfaces that subsequently are to be painted or welded, and their disposal is difficult. The sources of oils are:
mineral (petroleum), animal, vegetable, and fish.
90
10.1 Oils
Oils may be compounded with a variety of
additives or with other oils to impart special properties, such as their viscosity-temperature behavior and surface tension, heat resistance, and boundary layer characteristics. Mineral oils with or without fillers, and used undiluted, are known as neat oils.

10.2 Emulsions
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible
liquids, usually mixtures of oil and water in various proportions, along with additives. Emulsions, also known as water-soluble oils, are of two types: direct and indirect. In a direct emulsion, mineral oil is dispersed in water as very small droplets. In an indirect emulsion, water droplets are dispersed in the oil.
94
10.2 Emulsions
Direct emulsions are important fluids because
the presence of water gives them high cooling capacity. They are particularly effective in high-speed metal machining where temperature rise has detrimental effects on tool life, workpiece surface integrity, and dimensional accuracy.

11.1 Graphite
The general properties of graphite are
described in Section 8.6. Graphite is weak in shear along its layers and has a low coefficient of friction in that direction. Thus it can be a good solid lubricant, particularly at elevated temperatures. However, the graphite friction is low only in the presence of air or moisture. In a vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere, friction is very high; in fact, graphite can be quite abrasive.
102 Institut Teknologi Bandung
11.1 Graphite
Graphite may be applied either by rubbing it on
surfaces or as a colloidal (dispersion of small particles) suspension in liquid carriers such as water, oil, or alcohols. As described in Section 8.6, a new development in carbon is fullerenes, also called Buckyballs, which are carbon molecules in the shape of soccer balls. When placed between sliding surfaces, these molecules act like very small ball bearings.

particularly effective for space applications, such as aerospace bearings.

lubricant. It is somewhat similar in appearance to graphite. However, unlike graphite it has a high friction coefficient in ambient environment. Oils are commonly used as carriers for molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and are used as a lubricant at room temperature. Molybdenum disulfide can also be rubbed onto the surfaces of a workpiece.

107
11.4 Glasses
Although a solid material, glass becomes
viscous at elevated temperatures and hence can serve as a liquid lubricant. Viscosity is a function of temperature, but not of pressure, and depends on the type of glass. Poor thermal conductivity also makes glass attractive, since it acts as a thermal barrier between hot workpieces and relatively cool dies. Typical glass lubrication applications are in hot extrusion and forging.

any excess acid from the surface. A liquid lubricant, such as a soap, is then applied to the coated surface. The lubricant film adheres to the surface and cannot be scraped off easily. Zinc phosphate conversion coatings are often used on carbon and low-alloy steels. Oxalate coatings are used for stainless steels and high-temperature alloys.
