An unsteady numerical simulation was carried out to evaluate the sliding surface temperature of polyoxymethylene (POM) for wear test. The numerical model consists of two-dimensional hollow circular cylindrical POM, metallic shaft, and ambient air. The effect of conductive and convective heat transfer on the sliding surface temperature was investigated. Simulation results are in a good agreement with experiments. The influence of sliding conditions on the sliding surface temperature and limiting PV value was also discussed. Moreover, ON-OFF operation was performed in order to consider actual sliding conditions.
