Abstract

To design a PEEK based involute spline pair with better wear resistance, an orthogonal experimental scheme was designed. Based on the Archard wear model, the wear amount results under different texture parameter combinations were obtained using ABAQUS software.Establish a nonlinear regression model with the edge length, spacing, and depth of the texture as influencing factors, and wear amount as the output response index, to explore the influence of factors on the response index.Use range analysis to determine the primary and secondary order of influencing factors and use matrix analysis to determine the optimal parameter level of texture.The results indicate that:According to the wear simulation results under dry friction conditions, the presence of texture can effectively reduce the wear of spline tooth surfaces and improve their wear resistance;the primary and secondary order of the influence of texture edge length (A), spacing (B), and depth (C) on experimental indicators is A>B>C;the optimal parameter levels for texture are: edge length of 70um, spacing of 50um, and depth of 20um,this provides a theoretical basis for designing highly reliable, wear-resistant, and high-strength surface textured PEEK based involute spline pairs.
