1ST Layer: Bulk Metal (substrate) has a structure that depends on the composition and processing history.

2ND Layer: Above the bulk metal is “Surface Structure” that is plastically deformed and work hardened more so than the Bulk Metal. The depth & properties of this layer depend on processing method and friction.

Surface Texture are characteristics that define a surface. These can be separated into four categories which are:

•Flaws or defects: random irregularities, such as scratches, cracks, holes, depressions, seams, tears, or inclusions

•Lay (directionality): direction of the predominant surface pattern

•Roughness: closely spaced, irregular deviations on a small scale

•Waviness: recurrent deviation from a flat surface

Surface roughness is usually described in two ways:

1. Arithmetic mean value (R a) – the schematic illustration of a rough surface

2. Root-mean roughness height – was known as RMS

3. Maximum roughness height (R t) – the height from the deepest trough to the highest peak; indicates how much material has to be removed to obtain a smooth surface

Page 34: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

Coordinates used for surface-roughness measurements

R a = ( a + b + c + d + ….)/ n

R q = sq rt [(a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 + ….)/n]

When measuring surface roughness, instruments called surface profilometers are used. Profilometers are tipped with a diamond stylus which usually has a 10 micon diameter. The way profilometers are used is they travel over the surface in a straight line recording about 10 to 15 roughness irregularities. The distance travel maybe anywhere from .08 to 25 mm. The most common distance used is .8 mm.

Page 37: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

There are other ways of measuring surface measurement. This is done by using either an Optical-interference microscope or an atomic-force microscope.

•Optical-interference microscopes: shine a light against a reflective surface and record the interference fringes that result from the incident and its reflective waves

•Atomic-force microscopes (AMFs): it’s a very fine surface profilometer with a laser.

Page 38: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

There are several theories that explain friction. Two of the more commonly accepted theories are the adhesion theory and the abrasion theory.

•Adhesion theory: theory that states that the contact of two items is actually only a fraction of their apparent contact area.

•Abrasion Theory: theory that states that the asperities of a harder surface penetrates and plows through a softer surface.

Another thing to take in to account is that all friction dissipates energy. This energy is converted into heat. Sometimes the heat may soften or even melt the material in use

Page 39: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

Plastics generally possess low frictional characteristics. This is better for creating items such as bearings, gears, seals, prosthetic joints. But, an important consideration is that plastics have a low melting point. So, any heat caused by friction must be taken into account. Ceramics on the other hand have generally the same frictional characteristics as metals.

Page 40: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

Some ways of reducing friction are :

1. Selection of materials used

2. Lubricants or solid films (such as graphite)

3. Ultrasonic vibrations

Page 41: Mechanical Fastening Processes Brazing Brazing – joining process where just the filler material’s heat is raised to its melting temperature to join materials

The coefficient of friction is found during the manufacturing process or in laboratory tests using smaller versions of various sizes of the material. One of the common tests used is called the ring-compression test. This is where a flat ring is upset plastically between two flat platens. If the both the diameters of the ring expand outward then the friction is zero. If the inner diameter becomes smaller, then there’s an increase of friction.
