Friction And Wear Characteristics

Natural serpentine powders are applicable as additives for various lubricating oils. However, no uniform theories explain their tribological performance, lubrication, and wear mechanism, especially their self-repairing mechanism. Herein, the influence of different nano serpentine powders (NSPs) contents in liquid paraffin on the friction and wear characteristics of steel balls and the self-repairing process of NSPs on the worn surface were studied. Results show that the optimal amount of NSPs was 0.5 wt %. Relative to those of the base oil, the friction coefficients and wear spot diameters were reduced by 22.8% and 34.2%, respectively. Moreover, the long-term tribological test shows that the wear scar diameter decreased slightly after 3 h, reaching the state of dynamic balance between wear and repair. The outstanding tribological performance should be attributed to the formed bilayer tribofilm, the first layer of which contains nanoparticles surrounded by lubricants and the second layer of which contains nanoparticles compacted onto the surface of the steel ball.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tribological performance of graphene oxide (GO) sheets as water-based lubricant additive when ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) plates slid against 316L stainless steel ball using a reciprocating tribometre. Design/methodology/approach The factors influencing the tribological performance were considered, including the viscosity of the GO dispersion, normal load, sliding velocity and the roughness of UHMWPE. The surface microstructure and properties of UHMWPE were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. Findings The results revealed that the GO dispersion reduced friction and sliding-wear. The surface images of the wear UHMWPE plates indicated that GO sheets were prone to adsorption on the surface and form a thin physical tribofilms at the substrate. Originality/value Based on the experimental findings for the evolution of the microstructure morphology and the development of subsurface cracks, less debris and cracking can be observed in the UHMWPE plates lubricated by GO dispersion.

Abstract The tribological performance of biocarbon-based magnesium silicate hydroxide nanocomposite was examined as a lubricant additive by using a four-ball friction and wear tester. The effect of different concentrations of additives and dispersants was evaluated. The results show the nanocomposite exhibits excellent anti-wear performance and the optimal value is proposed when the content of additive and dispersant is 0.7 wt% and 3 wt% respectively. Through analyzing the friction surfaces by scanning electron microscope and Raman, we proposed the additives acted by a combination of “bearing,” “third body,” and sliding effect to achieve outstanding tribological properties.
