Based on a December 1999 symposium held in Reno, this collection of 41 papers reviews new technologies being developed to address hydraulic wear and failure problems. The main subjects are tribological design, failure analysis, improved materials, seals, and the effects of fluids on hydraulic pump wear. Within failure analysis, the contributors discuss methods for root cause analysis to identify hydraulic wear, different applications of wear particle analysis to identify the sources of hydraulic component failure, and examples of hydraulic pump and rolling element bearing wear. Other topics include mechanisms of abrasive wear in lubricated contacts, laser surface texturing of mechanical components, and hydraulic valve problems caused by oil oxidation products. Annotation c.

Synopsis

This unique publication provides a comprehensive overview of hydraulic wear and failure analysis issues. 41 papers divided into 5 sections cover: Theory, Mechanism, and Simulation: gives a thorough overview of the importance of tribological design. Many hydraulic wear and failure problems could be eliminated if appropriate design principles were employed. The remaining papers in this section provide the reader with a complete overview of fundamental principles involved in hydraulic lubrication and wear. Failure Analysis: examines a wide range of topics, including methodologies for root cause analysis, to identify hydraulic wear and different applications of wear particle analysis to identify the sources of hydraulic component failure. It also provides a failure catalog for hydraulic pump and rolling element bearing wear through the examples given in the papers comprising this section. Materials: explores significant research currently underway to identify superior materials for hydraulic pump and component design. The areas of research include: effect of material selection on cavitation erosion, surface engineering to improve material properties, and surface texturing.

Components: addresses the effects of various wear, selected failure mechanisms of hydraulic seals, and yellow metal wear. Fluids: discusses the effects of fluid shear stability, additives, and bio-oils on hydraulic pump wear.
