How to improve operating reliability?


The allowable pressure in sliding contacts between metals is limited by seizure

1) You need to know how stuff fails.

2) You need to know the measures Steel cast iron 510 MPa, that can be taken to prevent failures. In screw joints contact pressures
=0.120.18 up to 100 MPa are common, but Steelis- limited CuSnto or CuAl alloys 1020 the slidingmotion one single move.MPa, =0.120.18 Zinc plated to prevent
corrosion and seizure.

Wear mechanisms

Dry sliding metal to metal contacts always show adhesive wear. Dry sliding polymer to metal contacts show abrasive wear.
