    appears as the Striebeck's curve, initially dropping rapidlyand then rising slowly. This demonstrates that there ismixed lubrication at low speeds and hydrodynamic lubri-cation at higher speeds, and that there is a critical point(ie the lowest point) between these two kinds of lubrica-tion condition. For the N- D guideways, there is generallyonly one lubrication conditon - mixed lubrication.T h e f - V curves of the two kinds o f guideway are different,however, only when they are lubricated; otherwise, theyagree closely with each other (Fig 7) and fi s alwaysindependent to V. Summarizing then, it is clear that themain difference between the two kinds of scraped surfaceis that of hydrodynamic effect, caused by the differencesin surface topography.Although different oils and different pressures were used,the f - V curves of N-D guideway remain similar, and allin the shadowed region in Fig 6, showing once more thatthe hydrodynamic effect with the N-D guideway is weak.Fig 8 shows that the kinematic coefficient of friction isalmost independent of any additives in off; only the stick-slip phenomenon (shown by shadowed region) is affected.in Fig 9, it is shown that f is about 0.02 at the criticalpoint. To the left of the critical point, the higher the oilviscosity thenthe lower is f; to the right, the higher the oilviscosity then the higher the value of f.Fig 10 shows that , for W-S guideways, f decreases when pincreases. This is true both in the region of mixed lubrica-tion and in the region of hydrodynamic lubrication. But,for N- D guideways, as mentioned above ,f is almostindependent ofp (F ig 6 ) . This ident i f i es again that W-S

    Hou, Chen and Zheng - t r ibology of machine tool s lidewaysguideways exhibit more hydrodynamic effect, and N-Dguideways exhibit more boundary effect.From experiments, the comparison of f is as follows: At very low speeds (about several mm/min), fi s approxi-mately the same for both methods At normal speeds (V < 200 mm/ min ), ffo r the W-Sguideway is between 2 and 10 times smaller than that

    of the N-D surface. At higher speeds (V = 200-600 mm/min), the W-Sguideway has a friction coefficient 2-5 times smallerthan that of N-D scraped surfaces.G u i d e w a y - s l i d e r s e p a r a ~ m .To verify the hydrodynamic effect of W-S guidewaydirectly, the separation of slider and guideway when inmotion was also measured. Measurements were made withan inductance instrument which had a sensitivity of about0.1/an. Typical results are shown in Fig 11; these havebeen shown to coincide with theoretical calculations.Comparing Fig 11 with Figs 6,9 and 10, it can be seenthat hydrodynamic lubrication is already dominant whenh ~. 1/am. Fig 11 shows hat the W-S guideway canundoubtedly form a ~onsiderable thickness of oil film.In contrast, N-D guideways cannot form an effective oilfilm, because h is too small to separate two rough surfaces(Fig 13). For N-D guideways, h is many times smaller thanfor a W-S guideway.It is evident then why W-S guideways have so much betterfriction properties. Fig 11 contains two h - V curves for
