Abstract

During cutting of wood, friction plays an important role. The coefficient of friction between steel and some common Swedish wood species was studied. The effects of moisture content, sliding speed, smoothness of steel surface, wood species and direction of the grain on the coefficient were determined and the changes in friction with duration of rubbing, the softness of wood surface, and the surface adhesion and deformation were discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Bei der Zerspanung von Holz spielt die Reibung eine bedeutende Rolle. Der Reibbeiwert zwischen Stahl und verschiedenen in Schweden heimischen Holzarten wurde untersucht. Die Einflüsse von Holzfeuchtigkeit. Reibgeschwindigkeit, Glätte der Stahloberfläche, Holzart und Faserrichtung auf den Reibbeiwert wurden bestimmt. Die Änderungen der Reibung mit der Dauer der Reibwirkung, der Härte oder Weichheit der Holzoberfläche sowie der Adhäsion bzw. der Verformung der Oberfläche werden diskutiert.
