Abstract
The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the normal force (N), abrasive slurry concentration (C) and abrasive wear modes on the coefficient of friction in ball-cratering wear tests. Experiments were conducted with balls of AISI 52100 steel, an AISI H10 tool-steel specimen and abrasive slurries prepared with black silicon carbide (SiC) particles+distilled water. The tangential (T) and normal loads were monitored throughout the tests and the results have shown that: (i) the coefficient of friction behavior was independent of the normal force and (ii) both the concentrations of abrasive slurries and the subsequent action of the abrasive wear modes, generally, did not affect the behavior or magnitude of the coefficient of friction.
