Abstract

To investigate the influence of the groove shape of friction disks on the wear of a friction clutch friction pair, a wear calculation model that considers the actual sliding distance between the friction clutch friction pair is presented based on the Archard adhesive wear model. The wear of three different groove-shaped friction pairs was calculated and analyzed. The wear test was carried out on the SAE#2 testing rig to obtain the actual wear amount and verify the accuracy and validity of the mathematical model. The results show that, among the three types of grooves, the friction disks with waffle grooves were the most prone to wear, followed by three-way parallel grooves. The wear performance of the two-way parallel grooves was the best, and the wear from one-time engagement can better reflect the change in the dynamic engagement of the friction pair. With the increase in the engagement time, the increase of the wear amount decreases.
