A modified pin-on-disc device was used to conduct experiments under variable normal load and sliding speed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray micro-analyses by EDS were applied for observations of wear scars and wear products. It was revealed that the increase of sliding speed contributes to decreasing the friction coefficient under a low normal force, whereas the increase of the normal loading causes the friction coefficient is less sensitive to changes in the sliding speed and its values are equal to μ = 0.26-0.34. The adhesive nature of wear along with severe abrasive action of the Ti alloy were documented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Investigation of friction and wear mechanisms of TiAlV coated carbide against Ti6Al4V titanium alloy using pin-on-disc tribometer}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/85098/PDF/ame-2016-0006.pdf}, doi={10.1515/meceng-2016-0006}, keywords={friction, wear, PVD coated carbide, alpha-beta titanium alloy}, }
