ABSTRACT
Planned maintenance of machinery is very crucial for
reduction in downtime. Bearing element plays vital role
in rotating machines for friction reduction. In the present
paper attention is focused on prediction of wear in ball
bearing under pure sliding contact conditions in order to
improve the performance of ball bearing. According to
ASTM G99 standard Pin on Disc Apparatus is used to
determine relative wear in microns. Composite Ball
materials such as Silicon Nitride and Alumina Oxide are
used and are compared with baseline case of bearing
steel Chrome Steel balls sliding against 52100 Steel disc.
A load of 10N, 60N and 120N is applied on balls for
observing nature of wear. Application of artificial neural
network technology is used to validate wear and friction
behavior of ball bearing materials under consideration.
Matlab program is successfully developed.
Keywords Artificial Neural Network s, Alumina, Ball
Bearing, Composite ball, Silicon Nitride.
