Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of reciprocating and unidirectional sliding motions on friction and wear of phenolic resin-based composite.

Design/methodology/approach

The phenolic resin-based composite was fabricated by hot press molding, and then the tribological properties were tested on a CSM tribometer with two types of friction motion modes – reciprocating friction and unidirectional friction.

Findings

The results showed that the composite exhibited low friction coefficient in unidirectional test. However, the wear factor recorded under unidirectional sliding condition was 12-16 times higher than the reciprocating friction results. The SEM and optical microscopy test results showed that changing the relative motion mode resulted in different topography of transfer film, which is responsible for the different friction and wear characteristics of the composite under reciprocating and unidirectional friction conditions.

Originality/value

Effect of different friction modes, reciprocating friction and unidirectional friction, on friction characteristics of the composite is sought. Different topography of transfer film formed under reciprocating and unidirectional friction conditions contributed to the different friction characteristics.
