Abstract: This article considers the regularities of abrasive particles activity changing in the oil of machine units, which
take part in the process of gear-wheel wear at constant and increasing concentration varying with the number
of loading cycles of gear teeth, considering the share of crushed abrasive particles in one loading cycle of the
gearing which is used to determine the oil replacement time in the machine unit.
1 INTRODUCTION
One of the factors that most significantly affect the
results of calculation and experimental determination
of the wear resistance of gear materials is the degree
of activity of abrasive particles in the oil of machinery
transmission units.
In the process of friction for each cycle of loading
of gear teeth, the concentration of active abrasive
particles in the oil of the machine constantly changes.
It occurs because of crushing of abrasive particles,
being in oil of the aggregate and entering of a fresh
portion from environment (Ishmuratov, 2019;
Mirzaev et al., 2019; Mamatov et al., 2021;
Mirzakhodjaev et al., 2021; Khudayorov et al., 2023;
Khudayorov, et al., 2023; Khudayorov,et al., 2023;
Mirzakhodjaev et al., 2024; Mirzakhodjaev et al.,
2024). Therefore, when assessing the wear resistance
of gear teeth and the oil change period in the units it
is necessary to consider the regularities of abrasive
particles activity change in the process of oil
circulation. Analysis of the state of the matter in
question showed that in the literature this issue is not
sufficiently covered, mainly limited to the study of
the process of crushing abrasive particles located in
the contact zone of gear teeth (Ishmuratov et al.,
2020; Djiyanov et al., 2022; Astanakulov et al., 2023;

Djiyanov et al., 2024; Djiyanov et al., 2024; Isakova
et al., 2024; Irisov et al., 2024).
The purpose of this work is to obtain
computational dependences for estimating the
activity of abrasive particles, at their constant and
increasing concentrations.
2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
In heavily loaded gears, the load falling on the
abrasive particles in the wedge-shaped gap of gear
teeth, in most cases exceeds their compressive
strength, as a result of which these particles are
subjected to crushing (Zhigaev, 1971; Melnikov,
1999). Because according to (Mirzakhodjaev et al.,
2024) the coefficient of re-crushing of abrasive
particles equal to 7, after crushing process, the size of
crushed abrasive particles should not exceed:
da<Rz+h
0
, m, (1)
where R
z
is the roughness height of the friction
surfaces of the gear teeth, m; h0 is the thickness of the
oil film between the friction surfaces of the gear teeth,
m.
In the process of gear teeth wear, abrasive
particles of the size corresponding to expression (1)

do not come into force interaction with friction
surfaces, and wear from their influence does not
occur.
The total concentration of abrasive particles in the
oil of the unit can be constant and increasing in time,
because of their penetration from the environment.
Let us see how the abrasive particles activity changes
for these cases.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The total concentration of abrasive particles in the oil
is constant, its value in time remains constant, i.e., no
new portions of abrasive particles enter the oil from
the outside. This variant is characteristic for testing of
roller samples of cogwheels for wear resistance on the
friction machine MI-1M. The size of abrasive
particles used for wear testing should be greater than
the sum of the roughness height and oil film thickness
(exceeding 4 microns). In this case, the initial
concentration of abrasive particles in the unit oil was
taken equal to their total concentration (ε
max
).
At crushing of active abrasive particles,
depending on number of loading cycles, their
concentration decreases (fig.1, graphs 1, 2). Let us
consider changes of abrasive particles activity in the
process of wear resistance test, after each loading
cycle. Loading cycle is one complete revolution of a
spherical toothed wheel specimen, which is dipped
into oil containing abrasive particles of spherical
shape (Irgashev et al., 2021; Ishmuratov et al., 2023).

The obtained analytical dependencies show that at
constant total concentration of abrasive particles,
which are in oil, increase of abrasive particles size,
radius of curvature and width of contact of samples,
made of toothed wheels material, dipped in oils in the
friction machine tub, leads to growth of their crushing
intensity. This is explained by the fact that increasing
the radius of curvature leads to a narrowing of the
wedge-shaped gap between the samples of the friction
process, leading to an increase in the contact area
between the surfaces of samples and abrasive
particles, due to which, increases the number of
adhered and crushed abrasive particles on the contact
surfaces of friction (Akhmetov et al., 2021;
Zhanikulov et al., 2022; Akhmetov et al., 2023).
The received analytical dependences show that at
constant total concentration of the abrasive particles
being in oil, the increase in size of abrasive particles,
radius of curvature and width of contact of the
samples made of gear wheel material dipped in oils in
the bath of friction machine leads to increase in
intensity of their crushing. This is explained by the
fact that increasing the radius of curvature leads to a
narrowing of the wedge-shaped gap between the
samples occurring in the friction process, leading to
an increase in the contact area between the surfaces

of samples and abrasive particles, thereby increasing
the number of adhered and crushed abrasive particles
on the contact surfaces of friction.
2. The initial concentration of abrasive particles in
the oil of the unit is zero; it increases with increasing
number of loading cycles of the driven gear (fig. 1,
graphs 3, 4). This case corresponds to the real
operating conditions of the gear transmission in the
unit.
Let us assume that tightness of crankcase and
dustiness of environment during exploitation of
machines remain constant. As a result, penetrated
abrasive particles from the environment are subjected
to crushing and the concentration of active abrasive
particles in the machine oil changes constantly during
each load cycle (Akhmetov et al., 2023).

show, that if initial concentration of abrasive particles
in oil is zero, with increase of loading cycles
concentration of crushed abrasive particles gradually
increases, after its value reaches some critical value,
it slightly decreases. This can be explained by the
excessive amount of crushed abrasive particles in the
oil of the unit compared to the abrasive particles
coming into the unit from the environment.
4 CONCLUSIONS
Thus, the obtained expressions for determining the
activity of abrasive particles (9) make it possible to
calculate:
1. durations of wear testing of gear wheel material
on samples at a constant total concentration of
abrasive particles in the oil;
