Abstract
An experimental investigation studying the effects of a magnetic field on vibration and noise that occur when using a ball-on-disc friction system is described. Three types of friction pairs are introduced. The results show that a magnetic field can significantly reduce the friction noise, the corresponding vibration acceleration, and friction coefficient, for a steel-forged steel pair. However, the effects of magnetic field on the vibration and noise for other two friction pairs are limited. Moreover, a physical explanation is provided to describe the phenomenon, where the magnetic field attracts ferromagnetic wear debris, and cleans the wear trace. The major finding is that the noise reduction mechanism elicited by using a magnetic field can have extensive applicability in different fields.
