Most important wear aspects.

Wear is a surface phenomenon that occurs by the displacement and detachment of material. Because wear implies a loss of weight over a period of time, it generally differs from breakage, fractures and plastic deformation.

Wear-solidity is a system property.

The tribological system :

- Basic body
- Opposite body
- Interspace material
- Environment medium
- Relative movement
- Contact temperature
- Normal force
The effects of the tribological interactions:

- Friction
- Wear
- Surface quality loss

The four basic wear mechanisms :

- Adhesive wear
- Abrasive wear
- Tribochemical interactions
- Fatigue (Surface fatigue)

Lubricant paste or fluid.

To reduce or eliminate the above-mentioned adhesive wear, the friction drilling process can be done using the Drabus frictiondrill paste HTP or -fluid HTF.
The HTP is a paste that is composed of a fixed lubricant and a mineral oil.
HTF is a fluid mixture composed of the same components as the paste, but it can also be used as a spray.
During the frictiondrilling process, both the HTP and HTF products produce a fixed grease- and dividing film which is high pressure-resistant. The dividing and lubricating properties are maintained within the temperature range from -20°C to +1150°C. The mineral oil evaporates at high temperature, so there is no or only a small remainder left on the workpiece.

These products (HTP and HTF) have already in practice their influence on the tool life, but it is also possible to frictiondrill dry in some situations.

How to use these lubricants ?

HTP: bring a thin film of the paste with a small brush to the surface of the Drabus frictiondrill. 
On a CNC-machine, the Drabus friction drill can be programmed to automatically dip into the paste, between two frictiondrill operations.
HTF: The fluid can be applied with a spray- or haze system.
