The surface of the stainless steel (1Crl8Ni9Ti) was finished by means of the electrochemical method. The emittances of … results of the ideal surface of the stainless steel were calculated with the electromagnetic theory. A good agreement between …

to wear on bearing surface, a significant amount of wear on the drive shaft was observed. These results reveal that (in … addition to high wear resistant polymer bearings) a surface hardened shaft may increase the longevity of bearing-shaft assembly … devices such as bearings, drive shaft and seals. The wear on critical sliding components introduces unnecessary clearances …

This study investigates the wear characteristics of polymeric journal bearings while immersed in seawater, and their … applicability towards wave energy conversion. A block on ring wear machine was used to test four commercially available bearing … materials under unidirectional and oscillatory sliding conditions at low pressure. It was observed that wear generally increases …

. Often while deployed, wear on bearing, shaft, and seal assemblies introduces undesirable clearances between contacting … surfaces, which potentially can affect the performance of hydrokinetic devices. In order to investigate wear occurring …. The wear rate data collected after 60 h of clear-water tests on four different types of bearings is presented. In addition …
