Abstract
Pin-on-disk test is a fundamental experimental method used to investigate the tribological properties of materials, focusing on friction, wear, and lubrication under controlled sliding contact conditions. This study evaluates the tribological behavior of different material combinations through pin on-disk experiments, analyzing the effects of varying parameters such as friction coefficient, wear rate, lubrication, contact pressure, and surface roughness. The results demonstrate the influence of these factors on the interaction between the pin and the disk, providing insights into frictional forces, material degradation, and the effectiveness of lubricants. By examining the wear mechanisms and performance characteristics of different materials and lubricants, this research contributes to optimizing material selection and enhancing the design of tribological systems in engineering applications. The findings offer valuable guidelines for improving the durability and efficiency of components subjected to sliding contact, with implications for a wide range of industrial applications.
