Evaluation of Tribological Behaviors of Lightweight Crosshead Materials in a Reciprocating Plunger Pump
Lightweight design is crucial for reducing inertial forces and vibrations in high-power-density reciprocating plunger pumps (RPPs). However, the tribological compatibility of lightweight alloys for crosshead–liner tribo-pairs is not well understood. This study systematically evaluates the friction and wear behaviors of...
