Abstract:
The material for V-shaped metal sealing rings for automotive exhaust systems was determined and the friction and wear properties of the materials under dry friction conditions were studied. Based on the Archard wear theory, friction and wear simulation of various materials was carried out in ANSYS, and GH4169 was identified as the sealing material. The Retc-5000 friction and wear tester was used to test the friction and wear of GH4169 under different loads and rotational speeds, and the SEM/EDS was used to correlate analyze the morphology of the wear marks. The results show that oxidized wear is observed in all of them under different experimental conditions. At a load of 10 N, abrasive wear is predominant at the 100 r/min parameter and minor adhesive wear is predominant at 150 r/min parameter. At a load of 12 N, the abrasive wear increases, accompanied by a certain degree of adhesive wear at 100 r/min parameter, and it is mainly adhesive wear with slight abrasive wear at 150 r/min parameter.
