Abstract

This study investigates the influences of coating material properties and coating thickness on lubricant film thickness based on a point-contact isothermal EHL model developed recently by the authors. The results present the trend of minimum film thickness variation as a function of coating thickness and elastic modulus under a wide range of working conditions. Numerical results indicates that the increase in minimum film thickness, I_max and the corresponding optimal dimensionless coating thickness, H₂, can be expressed in the following formulas I_max = 0.766M ^0.0248R₂^0.0296L^0.1379 exp(-0.0245 ln² L) H₂=0.049 M^0.4557 R₂- ^0.1722L^0.7611 exp(-0.0504ln² M - 0.0921 ln ² L) These formulas can be used to estimate the effect of a coating on EHL film thickness.
