Plastic junctions are formed when ductile materials are pressed together between asperities. Since for ductile materials the area of contact increases with P, P = HA, (3-16) where H is the penetration hardness or yield pressure. If we combine Eqs. (3-15) and (3-16), the coefficient of sliding friction P can be obtained: P F / P k / H. (3-17) This equation implies that the friction coefficient is merely the ratio of two plastic strength parameters of the weaker material and is independent of the contact area, load, sliding speed including surface roughness, and geometry.
The range of stresses 'V = Vmin – Vmax and average stress Vave = (Vmax + Vmin)/2. The top curve is fluctuating, and the bottom curve is for reversed cyclic loading. Another method of testing the fatigue properties is to monitor the number of cycles to failure at various stress levels, as shown in Figure 3-9. This test requires a large number of specimens compared with the crack propagation test. The endurance limit is the stress below which the material will not fail in fatigue no matter how many cycles are applied.
The crystals are ordinarily not visible since each one has nearly the same appearance. The poly- 20 CH. 2: THE STRUCTURE OF SOLIDS crystalline nature of a metal can be revealed by etching the surface with an acid, which selectively dissolves the surface of crystals that have different orientations. Such etching may occur unintentionally in old brass door knobs and handles, in which the acid secreted by the hands of many people reveals the crystals, which can exceed 1 mm in size. The arrangement of atoms in a crystal can be treated as an arrangement of hard spheres in view of their maintenance of characteristic equilibrium distances (bond length).
