This paper investigates the abrasive effects of lunar regolith simulants LX-M100 and LX-TH100 on mechanical components. The study focuses on preparing simulants with different particle size fractions to develop a tribological model. Simulants were separated using a digital electromagnetic sieve shaker, revealing discrepancies between actual and supplier particle sizes. Uniform particle sizes produced more reliable wear patterns. Future experiments will use a pin-on-disc tribo-test rig and sand-pot test rig to evaluate wear performance of stainless-steel shafts and PTFE seals.
These are the records this paper contributes to the simulant, returned sample, method, and property browsers.
