  1. 1. Tribological characterization of a ball bearing subjected to an electric field : Electric drivetrain tribology

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Muhammad Umar Farooq; [2023]
    Keywords : Ball bearing; electric drivetrain; tribology; electric field; characterization; bearing currents; discharge;

    Abstract : Electric machines are widely used in for instance the automotive industry in electric vehicles and in wind turbines. The electrical machines have mechanical bearings as an integral part used to transmit power and load. In addition, the main function includes reducing friction between interacting surfaces.

  2. 2. Optimization of hot strip drawing test methodology for hot forming of aluminium alloys

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Rabia Arshad; [2022]
    Keywords : Hot forming of aluminium; friction; high temperature lubrication; strip draw; wear.;

    Abstract : The development of lightweight design for automotive applications has lasted for many years and is still increasing. Vehicles with light structures use less fuel, emit less CO2, and are better for the environment. READ MORE

  3. 3. Fibre volume fractions’ and printing directions’ effects on tribological and mechanical properties in FDM printed carbon fibre reinforced PEEK : Suitability assessment of FDM printed PEEK-CF to act in a steam engine’s ball joint, by analysis of compressive properties, impact strength, friction and wear

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : William Tönnberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Ranotor; steam engine; PEEK; polyether-ether-ketone; carbon fibre reinforced PEEK; impact strength; compressive strength; compressive modulus; friction; wear; tribology; FFF; FDM; 3D-printing; printing parameters;

    Abstract : The purpose with this study was to investigate FDM/FFF manufactured carbon fibre reinforced PEEK and assess its suitability to act as a sealing- and bearing material in a modern steam engine’s ball joint. The steam engine is totally free from oil due to the risk of water- and steam contamination. READ MORE

  4. 4. Mechanical and tribological characterization of additive manufactured Co-alloyed tool steels aimed for cutting tool bodies

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Jijesh Rajan; [2022]
    Keywords : Maraging steels; Selective laser melting; microstructure; wear; Modified 18Ni300; Osprey MAR;

    Abstract : A drill tool body operates under tough cutting conditions where it is subjected to severe rubbing at the drill flute margin by the sliding chips. The tool wear caused by the contact stresses of the high-speed sliding chips is one of the common damage mechanisms observed in drill tool bodies. READ MORE

  5. 5. Evaluation of Refined Tribological Properties of Diamond Coated Cutting Tools Used in Machining of High-Strength Aluminum Alloys : Master thesis report regarding refined frictional & wear behavior of uncoated & CVD diamond coated WC-Co cemented carbide cutting tools used for machining of Al 7xxx alloys.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Christian Hultman; [2022]
    Keywords : tribology; machining; metal cutting; turning; milling; friction; wear; material transfer; surface technology; tribologi; skärande bearbetning; svarvning; fräsning; friktion; förslitning; nötning; materialöverföring; ytteknologi;

    Abstract : High strength aluminum alloys have for a long time been a popular material utilized in the automotive and aerospace sector due to coveted mechanical properties in terms of weight, strength, fatigue, and corrosion. However, tribological mechanisms such as tribo-film formation and material transfer during the metal cutting manufacturing process of aluminum impose significant reduction of machining and tool-life performance.
