Friction and wear characteristics of candidate foil bearing materials from 25 degrees C to 800 degrees C. J.A. Laskowski and C. Dellacorte. Lubric Engng., August 1996, 52(8), 605--612.
A high temperature pin-on-disc test rig is used to study the friction and wear behaviour of unlubricated metal/metal sliding couples, and to screen candidate materials for high-temperature foil bearings. The test procedure is described and illustrated. Six different precipitation hardened materials with good resistance to high temperature corrosion and oxidation are evaluated. Tribological data for various pin-disc combinations are tabulated. Results are used to identify a metal pairing with the lowest friction coefficient at 800 degrees C and one giving the lowest pin wear at 500 degrees C. When there is a significant difference in the hardness of pin and disc specimens gouging and severe wear of the softer material is observed. 18 refs.
