Pin-on-Disk Wear Testing Procedure

The document describes the procedure for conducting a pin-on-disk wear test to determine the wear and coefficient of friction of a standard specimen. Key steps include: cleaning and preparing the disk and specimen pin, applying varying loads from 1-4kg to the pin, running the test at 500 RPM for 5 minutes, and recording the wear and frictional force readings to calculate results and plot a graph of wear versus load.

WEAR TESTING (Pin-on-disk)

Aim: To determine wear and co-efficient of friction of a standard specimen using pin-on-disk wear
testing machine.

Apparatus: Pin-on-disk wear testing machine with control unit, Weights, Align key, Spanner, acetone ,
cotton and a standard specimen pin.

Procedure:

1. Clean the steel disk with acetone to free it from any debris from the earlier usage.
2. Remove the existing loads if any on the machine.
3. Fix the specimen in the pin holder using align key.
4. Note down the track radius.
5. Apply a load of 1Kg in the Pan.
6. Switch on the power of the control unit and set the timer to 5minutes.
7. Set the wear and frictional force to zero.
8. Start the wear testing machine and set RPM to 500.
9. Note down the readings of wear and frictional force at the end of 5 minutes.
10. Repeat the experiment with 2Kg, 3Kg and 4kgs.
11. Tabulate the results and calculate the co-efficient of friction.
12. Draw a graph of Wear (m) Vs Load (N).
