主要原著論文
1. Hiroyoshi Tanaka, Effect of Environmental Gas on Surface Initiated Rolling Contact Fatigue, Tribology Online, 8, 1, 90-96, 2013.01, This paper describes an exploratory study on the effects of temperature on the formation of oxide film and rolling contact fatigue life in hydrogen, argon and air. Rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted at 333 K and 363 K by using a three-ball-on-disk type apparatus. The rolling contact fatigue life in hydrogen was shorter than that in argon, and life in air was the longest. Relationship was found between fatigue life and hydrogen concentration in steel. Cross sections of the specimens show that iron oxide grew to larger grain size in the subsurface in hydrogen environment, which may have resulted in shorter fatigue life. It was also found that fatigue failure occurs on ball surface in hydrogen at 363 K..

7. 田中 宏昌, Joichi Sugimura, Suguru Ikeda, Different failure modes in rolling contact of steel under grease lubrication, STLE tribology frontier 2014, 2014.10, Rolling contact fatigue test under grease lubrication is conducted for the purpose of clarifying effect of surrounding gas on rolling contact fatigue life. The influence of temperature, atmosphere, and grease types is investigated through surface analysis, hydrogen diffused in steel, the composition of surface film and the characteristics of lubrication state. The bearing life depended on environment and lubricant, and surface failure was classified into three types in terms of surface roughness and temperature change. At higher temperature, there is a tendency that roughness becomes smaller and bearing life is extended..
8. 田中 宏昌, Joichi Sugimura, Taiki komatsu, Effects of environmental gas on decomposition of lubricant and hydrogen generation at nascent iron surface, Asiatrib2014, 2014.02, Lubricated sliding tests of iron were made in a temperature controlled chamber, and the amount of hydrogen generated was determined with gas chromatography. The lubricants used included polyalphaolephine polyorester, polypropyrenglycol and dimethyl silicone oil. It was found that the amount of hydrogen generated is significantly larger when nascent surface is continuously created than under static non-sliding conditions. It was also found that hydrogen generation is retarded when the environment gas contains more oxygen. Among the oils tested, the silicone oil showed very low hydrogen generation under non-sliding condition while it generates much greater amount of hydrogen than other lubricants..

It has been believed that hydrogen plays an important role in degrading mechanical properties of ferrous materials in rolling contact. It is necessary to study each of the effects of elementary processes at contact and slip on hydrogen permeation into steel. An experimental apparatus was used which enabled a variety of simple contact tests with cyclic normal loading and reciprocating sliding for each in controlled environment.

14. Takahiro Yamanaka, Hiroyoshi Tanaka, Kazuyuki Yagi, Joichi Sugimuura, Fluid Flow between Parallel Sliding Surfaces with Rectangular Microdimples, International Tribology Conference, Hiroshima 2011, 2011.11, Surface micro-texturing has recently attracted considerable attention for its capability to improve lubrication. The roles of the textures in the form of dimples and grooves are roughly threefold; to improve hydrodynamic lubrication to provide lower friction or higher load capacity, to act as oil reservoirs to provide oil supply, and to collect wear debris from contact area to minimize subsequent wear caused by the debris. Although everyone may know them, it appears that the mechanisms for these functions are not fully understood. This study focuses on the second function, the fluid supply to thin lubricating film with textured surfaces. Following the previous experiments on regularly arranged circular microdimples, rectangular microdimples with different orientations are studied..
15. Hiroyoshi Tanaka, Tatsuhiko Morofuji, Masaaki Hashimoto, Joichi Sugimura, Effect of Temperature on Surface Initiated Rolling Contact Fatigue in Hydrogen Environment, International Tribology Conference, Hiroshima 2011, 2011.11, It is widely recognized that hydrogen atoms adsorbed at steel surface permeate into the steel in rolling contact resulting in reduction of rolling contact fatigue life. Oxide film on steel surface may influence the permeation properties of hydrogen. However, how surface film prevents or promotes hydrogen permeation is yet to be studied for the purpose of finding an effective way to prevent hydrogen permeation and early occurrence of flaking failure. This paper describes a study to explore the effects of temperature on formation of oxide film and fatigue life in hydrogen, argon and air. Rolling contact fatigue tests in fully flooded conditions are conducted by using a three-ball-on-disk type apparatus at 333 K and 363 K..
16. Hiroyoshi Tanaka, Yoshinori Sawae, Joichi Sugimura , Surface film formation and hydrogen permeation of austenitic stainless steel under high pressure hydrogen, ASME/STLE 2011 International Joint Tribology Conference, IJTC2011, 2011.10, This paper describes the surface film formation and hydrogen permeation of stainless steel under high pressure hydrogen. In order to see the hydrogen permeation property of stainless steels, exposure test into high pressure hydrogen were demonstrated using stainless steel AISI Type 440C, 316 and 316L disks specimens. To investigate the content of hydrogen in the specimens and characteristics of surface oxide layer, desorption spectra of hydrogen and water by TDS were acquired. Meanwhile, XPS analyses were performed to identify chemical composition of the exposed surface. These results suggested that the permeation property of hydrogen through the steel surface related to the desorption behavior of moisture, which may be caused by the surface film formed during the exposure to high pressure and/or desorption process during TDS..
