Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of Stainless Steel (316L) using Response Surface Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study focuses on the wear characteristics of Stainless Steel (316L) using a pin-on-disc machine. A Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has been used to examine the input parameters like Load (A), Sliding Speed (B) and Sliding distance (C), whereas Wear Mass Loss (WML) and Coefficient of Friction (COF) are taken into consideration as responses. The statistical study shows that the main factors, A, B and C in addition to its combination (AB) the quadratic term B2 have the highest influence on WML. However, the load, the sliding speed, followed by sliding distance (C) and the quadratic term A2 and C2 significantly influenced COF. The mathematical model has developed for prediction of responses (WML and COF). The minimum WML and COF were obtained using a desirability-based optimization technique. The minimal WML and COF have been found at 30 N of load, 1 m/s of sliding speed and 1000 m of sliding distance.
