Fractal Characterization of Relative Movement Modes in Simulated Friction and Wear Tests

The selection of the relative movement mode between the friction pairs in simulated friction and wear tests is a crucial factor for the characterization and evaluation of metallic material properties. In this study, two kinds of commonly used metal materials (stainless steel 0Cr18Ni9 and aluminum alloy 2A12) were applied for the simulated friction and wear tests with four different modes of relative motion, including unidirectional, reciprocating, circular and multi-directional cross-shear. The corresponding surface topography and statistical parameters such as surface roughness Ra were obtained via OLYMPUS ultra-depth microscope. Based on the fractal theory, fractal dimension D was calculated to characterize the surface topography and the results indicate that, the fractal dimension D of the unidirectional and multi-directional cross-shear simulated friction and wear tests is the minimum and maximum respectively, which reflects that the fractal dimension D is able to characterize the complexity of the surface morphology. The fractal dimension D may be related to the intrinsic physical properties of metal materials, such as hardness and toughness, which needs to be further studied.
