Pin-on-disc tests with friction and wear depth data at increasing temperatures: dry sliding between 100Cr6 sphere against 100Cr6 ring.

This dataset has been collected during 6 ball-on-disc tests. The objective of the tests was to assess the influence of temperature on wear and friction between steel-to-steel counterfaces.

Materials: 100Cr6 sphere against 100Cr6 ring. Both components have been extracted from a FAG axial bearing. Surface roughness: sphere Ra: 0.04 microns; ring: 0.42 microns.

test conditions (test 1/2/3/4/5/6):

vertical load: 10N

sliding speed: 0.1 m/s

sliding distance: 500 m

temperature: 23/50/80/110/140/170 °C

wear track radius: 27.8/22.6/29/27/24/22 mm
