Estimation of the Influence of Burnishing Parameters on X5CrNi18-10 Steel

Angular momentum pumps are very often applied in ships. Because the pumps are operating in hard conditions they are produced from cavitation wear-proof and electrochemical corrosion-resistant materials. The most common damage of pump shaft is neck wear in place where seals are mounted. Burnishing as modern finish plastic tooling method makes it possible to achieve high technological quality of elements. Due to many burnishing advantages, the method was proposed for treatment of angular momentum pumps shafts instead of finish machining (finish turning, grinding, lapping). The goal was to estimate optimal burnishing parameters that enable obtaining higher strength and the lowest roughness factor of angular momentum pumps shafts. Shaft necks were made of stainless steel type X5CrNi1810. Roller burnishing tool SRMD type produced by Yamato was used in the research work. Its axis was parallel to working shaft axis. During working, technological parameters such as force, velocity and feed were changed.

The influence of burnishing parameters on the roughness, plastic strain and shape deviations of marine pumps crankshaft pins in fresh water installations

The Influence of Burnishing Parameters on the Roughness, Plastic Strain and Shape Deviations of Marine Pumps Crankshaft Pins in Fresh Water Installations Angular momentum pumps are frequently applied in marine installations. Due to hard working conditions of these pumps, special corrosion wear resistant materials as well as the ones resistant to electrochemical corrosion caused by sea water are used for their production. In case of pump shafts the most frequent inefficiency is the pin wear (corrosive wear, friction wear and contact wear) in place of sealings assembly (throttle). Burnishing as finish plastic tooling method enables obtaining machine elements of proper technological quality. Bearing in mind numerous advantages of using burnishing, it is suggested to apply it instead of machining (finish turning, grinding, polishing) to the shafts of marine angular momentum pumps. The burnishing process was carried out by SRMD single roll burnishing tool by Yamato. The object of the paper was to determine the influence of burnishing parameters and the number of burnishing tool passes on the improvement of roughness, plastic deformation and the shape deviation of marine pumps crank pins. Wpływ parametrów nagniatania na chropowatość, odkształcenie plastyczne i odchyłki kształtu czopów wałów pomp okrętowych instalacji wody morskiej W instalacjach okrętowych często wykorzystywane są pompy wirowe. Ze względu na trudne warunki ich pracy do budowy tego rodzaju pomp stosuje się materiały odporne na zużycie erozyjne oraz korozję elektrochemiczną wywołaną przez wodę morską. W przypadku wałów pomp najczęstszą niesprawnością jest zużycie czopów (korozyjne, cierne i zmęczenie stykowe) w miejscu montażu uszczelnień (dławic). Obróbka nagniataniem jako metoda wykańczająca obróbki plastycznej umożliwia uzyskanie elementów maszyn o odpowiedniej jakości technologicznej. W związku z licznymi korzyściami stosowania obróbki nagniataniem proponuje się jej zastosowanie w zamian za wykańczającą obróbkę skrawaniem (toczenie wykańczające, szlifowanie, polerowanie) do wałów okrętowych pomp krętnych. Proces nagniatania przeprowadzono nagniatakiem jednorolkowym SRMD firmy Yamato. Celem pracy było określenie wpływu parametrów nagniatania i liczby przejść nagniataka na poprawę chropowatości, odkształcenie plastyczne i odchyłek kształtu czopów wałów pomp okrętowych.

Surface topography of operated slide journal micro - bearings used in computer fans

In this paper authors present results of measurements of slide journal bearings surface topography measured with a profilometer and an atomic force microscope (AFM). Surface topography of investigated bearings (i.e. journals and sleeves) was measured using the Hommeltester T8000R60 profilometer. The results of these measurements give information about micro-grooves dimensions and location. Measurements of surface topography were made for journals and sleeves of slide journal micro-bearings from personal computers fans, with the Atomic Force Microscope NT-206 produced in MTM in Minsk, Republic of Belarus. The results of measurements of surface topography were presented in the form of surface topography maps, threedimensional graphs and some examples of selected cross-sections of investigated surfaces in the form of profile graphs. The values of profile roughness parameters Ra and Rq and the distance between maximum peak height and maximum valley depth are presented as well. The application SurfaceXplorer® was used for processing and visualization of the data obtained from AFM NT-206, which besides from generating 2D, 3D and profile diagrams, was used to calculate and draw graphs of height distribution. In this research authors used two identical sets of micro-bearings. The investigated bearings are: a) Kama Flow SP0825FDB12H fan with grooved surface of bearing sleeve, b) Xilence Case fan which sleeve surface was without grooves. First set of that micro-bearings functioned for a year at rated RPM continuously (i.e. 24 hours a day). Second set of the same micro-bearings also functioned for a year at rated RPM, but in intermittent mode (i.e. 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off). On the surfaces of studied micro-bearings some microgrooves can be found in form of herringbone, with depth about 1-2 m and width 100-150 m. Received information about microgrooves geometry will help to develop proper theory of hydrodynamic lubrication for micro-bearings with microgrooves and allows determining how the mode of operating affects on the wear of co-operating surfaces.
