Effects of segment-structured DLC film on the fretting wear of railway axle journal bearings
Fretting wear is surface damage caused by repeated slight relative slips between two contact surfaces. In railway applications, fretting wear can occur between the inner ring and the backing ring of an axle journal tapered roller bearing. The authors supposed that the fretting wear of the backing ri...

Fretting wear is surface damage caused by repeated slight relative slips between two contact surfaces.

A segment-structured diamond-like carbon (S-DLC) film has been proposed to solve this problem. In this work, the authors investigated the effect of S-DLC film on the fretting wear through rotation tests of full-scale railway axle bearings with the backing ring side face coated with S-DLC film or conventional continuous diamond-like carbon (C-DLC) film.
