This paper details the investigation of wear characteristics of gray cast iron under dry, SAE15W40 and SAE20W40 oil lubricated sliding conditions. The effects of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on the specific wear rate of gray cast iron were studied using pin-on-disc wear testing machine. The experimental data were analyzed by using the robust technique of Taguchi’s orthogonal arrays. The specific wear rate was analyzed using signal to noise ratio and analysis of variance.

Abstract


This paper details the investigation of wear characteristics of gray cast iron under dry, SAE15W40 and SAE20W40 oil lubricated sliding conditions. The effects of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on the specific wear rate of gray cast iron were studied using pin-on-disc wear testing machine. The experimental data were analyzed by using the robust technique of Taguchi’s orthogonal arrays. The specific wear rate was analyzed using signal to noise ratio and analysis of variance.
