... spectrometry. Findings Wear performance of Cu-Cr-Zr and C11000 ETP Cu was evaluated using pin-on-disc set-up with Taguchi’s L₈ orthogonal array. Ranking of the parameters was done, and it was observed that the material and temperature play a very significant role in controlling the wear...

... with MWCNTs/Talc powder were evaluated on a pin-on-disc tribometer. The test was carried out according to the ASTM designation G 99-90 (ASTM, 2000). The counterpart disc with 180 mm in outer diameter and 10 mm in thickness was fabricated using hardened alloy steel with hardness rockwell C hardness (HRC) 60...

... positive textures were fabricated on piston ring surface by chemical etching method, and the experiments were conducted with textured piston ring surfaces against un-textured cylinder liner surface on pin-on-disc apparatus by continuous supply of lubricant at the inlet of contact zone. The parameters...

... densities of the rectangular-shaped texture, four area densities (10, 15, 20 and 25 per cent) were fabricated on the surfaces of the Napier rings. The details of the eight test specimens are given in Table II . A pin-on-disc tribometer, which simulates the motion of a piston ring-cylinder liner pair...

... performed using dedicated test rig based on “pin-on-disc” principle. Findings – A correlation was established between additive concentration, sliding speed and pressure with coefficient of friction by multiple linear regression. On the basis of experimental results and S/N ratio analysis, ranking...
