doi:10.3901/JME.2023.21.330

Abstract

Abstract: The service environment of Gas turbine bearing is harsh, the working interface is difficult to establish a full film lubrication state, local roughness peak contact and wear occur, which will affect the interface mixed lubrication state by the influence of surface morphology, and tribological characteristics of the bearing will be further affected At present, there are few studies on the coupling effect of wear and mixed lubrication state considering the real surface roughness for gas turbine rolling bearings. Therefore, in this paper, the turbine ball bearing is taken as a case, considering the contact interface wear, elastic deformation and the effect of measured mechanical surface roughness, the lubrication-contact numerical analysis model under the three-dimensional wear area between rolling body and inner raceway is established, and the wear characteristics of the bearing under different low speed, heavy load and slide-roll conditions are studied.

Key words: gas turbine bearing, mixed lubrication, wear prediction, real machined roughness
