High-stress abrasion

Abrasive wear can be classified into three types. Gouging abrasion is a high stress phenomenon that is likely to be accomplished by high comprehensive stress and impact. Grinding abrasion is a high stress abrasion that pulverizes fragments of the abrasive that become sandwiched between metal faces. And erosion is a low-stress scratching abrasion.

Abrasive wear is defined as the material loss when a hard particle is made to slide against a soft material. Abrasive wear is classified as two-body abrasion or three-body abrasion. In two-body abrasion, abrasive particles move freely over a material face as in sand sliding down a chute. In three-body abrasion, abrasive particles act as interfacial elements between the solid body and the counter body. It can be classified as high stress abrasion or low stress abrasion depending on the applied stresses. 

Beryllium and its alloys (e.g., beryllium copper) have gained interest in the aerospace industry and specialty sports equipment industry in recent years. Brazing or riveting can be used for joining, but these methods are expensive, and distortion or highly stressed areas may be encountered. The metal must be handled with care when the processing produces dust, chips, scale, slivers, mists, or fumes, since airborne particles of beryllium and beryllium oxide are toxic with latent health effects. Abrasives and chemicals used with beryllium must be disposed of properly. 

Abrasion removes protective oxidized metal and polarized coatings to expose unoxidized metal, in addition to removing metal particles. Forms microscopic grooves and dents for concentration cell corrosion. Increases microscopic surface area exposed to corrosion. Removes strain-hardened surface layers. Cracks brittle metal constituents, forming sites for impact hydraulic splitting. Plastic deformation by high-stress metal-mineral contact causes strain hardening and susceptibility to chemical attack. 

Wear is the process of physical loss of material. In sliding contacts this can arise from a number of processes in order of relative importance they are adhesion, abrasion, corrosion and contact fatigue. Wear occurs because of local mechanical failure of highly stressed interfacial zones and the mode of failure is influenced by environmental factors. 

The weak van der Waals bonds between the molecules in UHMWPE give it very poor heat resistance. The fibres melt at 150°C and their properties deteriorate as the temperature inaeases above room temperature. Under high stress, the fibres tend to creep extensively and can break after a short time under load. A secondary slow heating, under tension, when approaching the melting point, increases modulus and reduces CTeep. It is extremely resistant to chemical and biological attack and has better abrasion and fatigue resistance than aramid fibres. ... 

In summary, ultrasonication facilitates the dispersion of colloidal suspensions at relatively high stress intensities. It relies on the presence of cavitation and on a deep penetration of the sound field into the suspension. The latter is guaranteed by low suspension viscosities (e.g. as for aqueous media with low solid content). A particular problem is the abrasion of the sonotrode tip, which depends on the solid phase, the particle size and shape, the sound intensity, as well as on the abrasion history of the tip. Abrasion particles from sonotrodes are coarse particles in the micrometre range and may spoil the quality of colloidal suspensions. 

The construction of full dentures was one of the earliest successful applications which involved stringent requirements. The oral environment is corrosive and abrasive. A denture is subjected to high stresses and the materials utilized must be nontoxic, nonirritant to tissues, and resistant to staining. These severe demands and long-term stabil-...

In the contact area between part and counter part elementary friction and wear mechanisms such as adhesion, abrasion, surface fatigue, deformation, elastic hysteresis and damping, tribochemical reactions etc. may occur. These mechanisms are overlapping in the temporal and spatial undetectable real material contact area. In addition highly formulated lubricants, which are mainly used with highly stressed engine elements, exert influence on tribochemical reactions inside and outside of the tribological contact. ... 

Because the shaft is also exposed to friction and wear in the region of the stuffing box, hardened coatings and sacrificial sleeves can be used to protect the shaft. In high speed or abrasive applications, protection of the shaft may be very important. Besides the maintenance cost of replacing a mixer shaft, a sudden failure may occur if shaft wear is sufficient to reduce the cross-sectional area and create a location of high stresses. 

Compared to ultrasound emulsification, the high-pressure homogenizers are able to realize similar local stresses, abrasion is reduced, heat control is easier, and continuous-process solutions at volume streams of up to 50 0001/h exist, which is the basis for industrial apphcations.
