Abstract
In recent years, researchers have shown an increased interest in the investigation of the wear track evolution.
The present work proposes a Finite Element Approach (FEA) to evaluate the impact of the surface properties and the wear resistance of a 5083 aluminum alloy. Reciprocated sliding test was carried out numerically, using Abaqus/Explicit software. Based on python scripts, it was possible to consider the tribological behavior of a real surface profile. Tests were performed with a rigid ball (R = 5 mm) under a normal load of 1 N at a maximum number of sliding cycles of 10 cycles.
During the numerical simulation, the wear track evolution was inspected for different surface topographies. A comparison of the findings with those of experimental studies confirms the validity of the numerical results. This numerical investigation has revealed the significant impact of the surface topography and the number of sliding cycles (N) on the wear track evolution.
