Abstract

Wear is phenomenon of material loss that arises because of interaction of solid surfaces which mechanically loaded and in relative motion. Understanding wear phenomenon is important in teaching and learning process for subjects related to engineering materials. A tribometer is a typical tool utilized to characterize wear of materials. This work is intended to design and fabricate a portable block on ring wear tester to characterize various material’s wear for laboratory demonstration as well as research tool in Mechanical Engineering Program, Faculty of Engineering, University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta. SS201 steel was employed as cylinder material and Mild Steel was employed as Disk material to evaluate the functionality of designed tribometer. The test was conducted under dry sliding contact with load of 2 kgf and 4 kgf gram. Rotational speeds were varied at 300 rpm, 600 rpm, and 900 rpm respectively. The speed and load show effect to wear of SS-201 sample. Three wear evaluation method were employed to compare their significance in evaluating wear results, i.e. wear depth, wear scar length, and weight loses methods. The highest wear observed at 4 kgf load and 900 rpm sliding speed and the lowest wear observed at 2 kgf of load and 300 rpm speed sliding speed. It is concluded that evaluation of wear is better performed by using weight loss method for this apparatus. Moreover, symptom of adhesive wear dominantly observed on the wear surfaces. This mechanism is accompanied by fatigue and abrasion mechanisms.
