Abstract The influence of relative humidity on friction and wear is subject of several studies in the last decades. A comprehensive understanding of physical and chemical phenomena affecting the tribology is hampered by the lack of reproducible experimental results, by the large number of variables, and by several difficulties in the detection of tribochemical processes and products. In the present work, we analyze the wear coefficient and the wear volumes of 686 unlubricated tests performed on different oscillating tribometers with 100Cr6 balls on 100Cr6 planes at different relative humidity. Aim of this work is to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of data, to determine the dependence of the wear coefficient on the relative humidity, to understand the underlying physicochemical phenomena and to build three dimensional maps of the wear coefficient as a function of both humidity and the product of normal force and sliding distance.

相对湿度对自配合100Cr6钢磨损的影响

摘要 在过去的几十年里，相对湿度对摩擦和磨损的影响是多项研究的主题。由于缺乏可重复的实验结果、大量的变量以及摩擦化学过程和产品检测中的一些困难，对影响摩擦学的物理和化学现象的全面理解受到阻碍。在目前的工作中，我们分析了在不同相对湿度下在 100Cr6 平面上使用 100Cr6 滚珠在不同振动摩擦计上进行的 686 次未润滑试验的磨损系数和磨损量。这项工作的目的是评估数据的可重复性和再现性，以确定磨损系数对相对湿度的依赖性，
