The sustainability of biolubricants as green alternatives for industrial and machinery lubrication is questionable due to their unreliable oxidative stability, high pour point, and easy accumulation of contaminants that affect their tribological performance. Bio-based ionic liquid (IL) lubricants, which are environmentally friendly liquid state salts, have overcome these concerns related to conventional biolubricants. The present study investigates the effect of varying cation–anion moieties in ILs to understand their tribological performance and industrial viability. The industrial viability was analyzed by scaling their friction and wear behaviors against conventional biolubricants, and petroleum-based oils. The study investigated both bio- and nonbio-based ILs. Among the ILs examined, P666,14Saccharinate, P666,14Salicyate, and P666,14Benzoate were found to have superior tribological properties. The presence of large alkyl cation chain length and large aromatic anion ring size in ILs can effectively reduce friction and wear. This study details the mechanism by which the structural combinations of anion and cation in ILs define the tribological behavior of the bulk IL. Additionally, this study also highlights the environmentally benign nature of IL lubricants for possible industrial applications.

The tribological performance of Polyetherimide (PEI) composites filled with different Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content was comparatively evaluated on MM-200 test rig in block-on-ring configuration under dry friction condition. The microstructures of worn surfaces, fractured surfaces and wear mechanisms of the PEI composite were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The variations of elastic modulus and surface hardness with variation in composition were also investigated. The results showed that under conditions of dry friction the PTFE can lower the friction coefficient and reduce wear of the PEI composites. When filled with 10 wt. % PTFE, the composite had the lowest wear rate. For PEI filled with 5wt. % PTFE the friction coefficient was about 0.3 and remained comparatively stable with increase of the PTFE content.

Abstract Gas atomized Al63Cu25Fe12 powders of varying size fractions were plasma sprayed to study the relationships between coating microstructure and tribological behavior. After spraying, annealing was performed on one of the coatings. Abrasion and sliding wear tests were performed on the coatings. The results indicate a correlation between the abrasion resistance and hardness of the coatings. Furthermore, sliding wear tests reveal lower coefficients of friction for the as-sprayed coatings compared to the annealed coatings.

Friction And Wear Behavior

The paper assesses and compares the friction and wear behavior of SAE-AISI 1055 steel and brass (CuZn39Pb2) under dry sliding condition. The tribological behavior was investigated and compared by conducting two different experiments, the first experiment conducted on a CSM tribometer, and the second experiment was carried out on a test bench in horizontal lathe machine where device holder pin is fabricated and mounted on a test bench and a rotating disc, varying the normal load exert on the disc by the pin and the rotation speed of the disc. These tests consisted of measuring friction coefficient and wear loss of samples. Experiments are carried out in normal load 5-10 N, sliding speed 0.24-0.35 and 0.48 m/s. Variations of coefficient of friction during sliding at different initial surface roughness, normal load and sliding speed are investigated. Results show that the two alloys had different friction and wear behavior, for steel friction coefficient increase slowly with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. For brass friction coefficient decreases with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. On the other hand, it is also found that wear loss increase with sliding distance. Microscopic of worn surfaces for each alloy were carried out and compared.

Improvement Effect

Although much has been learned and investigated about environmentally friendly lubricants in recent years, several issues remain critical to their use in specific applications. A key point that could be limiting their utilization is that the effect of green lubricants on the tribological and mechanical properties of the elements has not been thoroughly studied since such attributes determine their performance in industrial applications. For this reason, in this research, the effect of green lubrication on the tribological and hardness properties of AISI 4140 steel was studied. The performance of three bio-based lubricants was studied and compared to that of five of the most representative lubricants. First, the lubricants were chemically and physically characterized. Then, the effect of each lubricant on the friction and wear behavior of the system was analyzed by kinetic friction coefficient, wear rate calculations, and microhardness measurements. In general, the bio-based lubricants exhibited the lowest values of friction and wear. Further the mechanical properties of the systems lubricated by these lubricants were not affected or were affected to a lesser degree.
