Description The present investigation pertains to the sliding wear response of spheroidal graphite (SG) cast iron in varying test conditions. The wear rate increased with pressure in general while sliding speed produced a mixed influence. Dry sliding caused the highest wear rate followed by one in oil and oil plus graphite lubricated conditions. The severity of frictional heating increased with pressure and speed. The influence of test environment on frictional heating was practically similar to that on wear rate. The operating wear mechanisms were observed to be adhesion associated with smearing of graphite particles and lubricating film formation. Microcracking also contributed to material removal, its severity being the highest in dry condition.
