Abstract

In this research, the simulation of wear behavior of 4130 steel has been carried out by ABAQUS software. The wear behavior of 4130 steel was simulated at three normal loads of 1, 3 and 5 N under pin-on-disk test. It was found that the predominant wear mechanism was the abrasion and with increasing normal load the contact stress between pin and disk, width and depth of wear track increase during the wear test. Also, it was concluded that the results of simulation, had a good agreement with experimental results that shows the validity of simulation to predict the wear process.
