Rapid Evaluation for Feed-axis Lubrication Condition Based on Soft Sensor

Stribeck effect is regarded as the most important feed-axis friction characteristics. According to the relationship between friction and lubrication,a rapid technology for feed-axis lubrication condition evaluation of computer numerical control( CNC) machine tools based on soft sensor is proposed. To obtain its state information,the static friction force,Coulomb friction force,and viscous coefficient are used as the key parameters of the soft sensor for tread analysis. Then the various amplitude and velocity triangular wave test curve, and a precise nonlinear model identification method are presented. The results of the experiments analysis show that this method is feasible and reliable for evaluating feed-axis lubrication condition,which lays the foundation for on-line condition monitoring and reliability evaluation for feed-axis lubrication of machine tools.

Effects of Service Condition on Rolling Contact Fatigue Failure Mechanism and Lifetime of Thermal Spray Coatings——A Review

The service condition determines the Roiling Contact Fatigue（RCF） failure mechanism and lifetime under ascertain material structure integrity parameter of thermal spray coating. The available literature on the RCF testing of thermal spray coatings under various condition services is considerable; it is generally difficult to synthesize all of the result to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the parameters which has a great effect on a thermal spray coating＇s resistance of RCF. The effects of service conditions（lubrication states, contact stresses, revolve speed, and slip ratio） on the changing of thermal spray coatings＇ contact fatigue lifetime is introduced systematically. The effects of different service condition on RCF failure mechanism of thermal spray coating from the change of material structure integrity are also summarized. Moreover, In order to enhance the RCF performance, the parameter optimal design formula of service condition and material structure integrity is proposed based on the effect of service condition on thermal spray coatings＇ contact fatigue lifetime and RCF failure mechanism. The shortage of available literature and the forecast focus in future researches are discussed based on available research. The explicit result of RCF lifetime law and parameter optimal design formula in term of lubrication states, contact stresses, revolve speed, and slip ratio, is significant to improve the RCF performance on the engineering application.

Fault Diagnosis of Mechanical Equipments Through Spectrometric oil Analysis for Worn Off Metallic Elements

In the fault prediction of mechanical equipments through spectromectric oil analysis for worn off debris, a method for the determination of the limiting value of wear is proposed and discussed. In order to diagnose the impending failure and to predict the fault modes and locate the fault spots, a comprehensive approach is studied and outlined on the basis of methods of discriminative analysis and fuzzy logic. A fault diagnosis expert system OAFDS developed by the authors for the nonitoring of working conditions of the ND5 locomotive diesel engine Nd5 is briefly introduced.

Effect of Cold Deformation on the Friction–Wear Property of a Biomedical Nickel-Free High-Nitrogen Stainless Steel

The microstructural,mechanical and corrosion properties of different cold-rolled biomedical nickel-free highnitrogen stainless steels（NFHNSSs） were investigated to study the effect of cold deformation on its dry wear resistance as well as corrosion–wear behaviors in distilled water and Hank＇s solution. The results indicated that NFHNSS was characterized by stable austenite and possessed excellent work-hardening capacity; due to increasing cold deformation,the corrosion resistance just decreased very slightly and the dry wear rate decreased initially but subsequently increased,while the corrosion–wear resistance was improved monotonically in both distilled water and Hank＇s solution in spite of the presence of corrosive ions. The friction coefficients for different cold-rolled NFHNSSs were very close under the same lubricating condition,but they were the largest in distilled water compared to that in dry wear tests and Hank＇s solution.
