The tribological behaviors of hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings under varied load conditions lubricated with polyalpha olefin (PAO), molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) and zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) additives were investigated in this paper. Hydrogenated DLC coatings were synthesized through the decomposition of acetylene by the ion source. The tribological performances were measured on a SRV tribometer. The morphologies and chemical structures of the DLC coatings were investigated by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectrometer (Raman) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS). It was shown that the low friction and high wear were achieved on the hydrogenated DLC coating under MoDTC lubrication, while low wear was found on the hydrogenated DLC coating lubricated by ZDDP. The primary reason was attributed to different tribofilms formed on the contact area and the formation of graphitic layer. Both factors working together leaded to quite different tribological behaviors. 相似文献
This study examined the tribological properties of two lubricating oils, mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanoparticles used as additives with various concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt.%). The friction and wear experiments were performed using a four ball tribotester. The samples were tested for their anti-wear, load carrying capacity, and friction coefficients according to ASTM D-2783, ASTM D-2596, and ASTM D-5183 standards. The experimental results show that the addition of MWCNTs to base oils exhibit good friction reduction and anti-wear properties. The wear test results show a decreased wear by 68% and 39% in the case of MWCNTs-based mineral oil as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively. Furthermore, the friction reduction results show a decrease of friction about 57% and 49% in the case of MWCNTs-based mineral oil as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively. The weld load of the base oil containing 1% MWCNTs was found to be 400 kgf and 125 kgf as compared with base mobil gear 627 and paraffinic mineral oils, respectively, which got welded at 200 kgf and 100 kgf. The morphologies and typical element distribution of the worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). The SEM micrographs and EDX chemical analysis confirm the formation of a tribolayer composed of the elements from the nanoparticles. 相似文献
Over the last few years, interest in applications of nanoparticles as lubricant additives has steadily grown due to the demonstrated reduction in friction and wear of nanoparticle-containing lubricant formulations (so-called nanolubricants). Particularly, studies of motor oils containing a “green” all-carbon additive, detonation nanodiamond (DND) particles, revealed their positive impact on the performance of lubricant compositions and fuel economy in engine tests. In the current review we discuss critical issues toward successful implementation of DND in nanolubricants: role of DND structural characteristics, stability of colloids of DND in oils, DND compatibility and synergism with other additives in commercial oils, mechanisms of DND impact on the properties of lubricants. Owing to the abrasive nature of diamond, DND-based nanolubricants must be carefully engineered in order to avoid increased wear of the friction surfaces and get full benefit from significantly reduced friction of well-polished surfaces. 相似文献
In this paper, Cr-doped DLC films with various Cr contents were deposited on stainless steel plates by an ion beam deposition/magnetron sputtering hybrid method and the tribological performance of the samples was evaluated using a ball-on-disk tribometer. It was found that the influence of the Cr content in the Cr-doped DLC films on the friction coefficient when lubricated by PAO, 150SN, PAO + T307, or 150SN + T307 is insignificant while the friction coefficient of the Cr-doped DLC films under PAO + MoDTC or 150SN + MoDTC lubrication can be significantly reduced through the introduction of Cr at an optimum level into DLC films. The wear resistance of the DLC films under PAO, 150SN, PAO + MoDTC, or 150SN + MoDTC lubrication can be improved by the introduction of Cr into DLC films; but Cr doping is unbeneficial to the wear resistance of DLC films lubricated by PAO + T307 or 150SN + T307. 相似文献
The tribological properties of polyimide (PI) and PI/fluorinated graphene (FG) nanocomposites, as a new class of graphene reinforced polymer, are investigated using a ball-on-disk configuration under different lubricated conditions of dry sliding, water lubrication and oil lubrication. Experimental results reveal that single incorporation of FG can effectively improve the tribological performance of PI under all the three conditions. In addition, compared to the results under dry sliding, the phenomenon that the friction coefficient decreases while the wear rate increases under water lubrication condition is observed and researched in detail. The worst anti-wear performance under water-lubricated condition can be ascribed to the fact that the water can be adsorbed by the polar imide radicals of the PI and PI/FG nanocomposite, therefore leading to the property deterioration of the PI and PI/FG nanocomposite coatings. 相似文献
Advances in lubricants are vital to the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable development. It is well known that the essence of lubricating oil is lubricant additives, especially the friction-reducing and anti-wear additives. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), a novel zero-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial, have attained growing expectations in material and chemical sciences because of their extraordinary properties such as low toxicity and environmentally friendly, high chemical and thermal stability, and good designability. Since their discovery, CQDs have shown great potential in many applications including sensors, medicine, photovoltaic devices, biology, and tribology. The latest application of CQDs as the high-performance friction-reducing and anti-wear additives has garnered increasing attention. With the in-depth study, CQDs have gradually exhibited their excellent tribological properties, especially acted as additives in lubricating base oils. This paper has reviewed the progress in the research and development of CQDs-based lubricant additives by introducing lots of successful applications of CQDs-based additives in the present work and then highlighted the friction-reducing and anti-wear property, superiority, as well as the lubrication mechanism of CQDs as an additive, along with some discussion on challenges and perspectives in this significant and promising field. Finally, we offered a series of suggestions for developing the next-generation high-performance CQDs-based lubricant additives.

This work presented the carbon quantum dots as the lubricant additives of lubricating base oils.
Polyimide (PI) composites filled with short carbon fibers (SCFs), micro SiO2, and graphite (Gr) particles were prepared by means of hot press molding technique. The friction and wear properties of the resulting composites sliding against GCr15 steel were investigated on a model ring-on-block test rig. Experimental results revealed that single incorporation of graphite and SCF significantly improve the tribological properties of the PI composites, but micro SiO2 was harmful to the improvement of the friction and wear behavior of the PI composite. It is found that a combinative addition of Gr, SCF and micro SiO2 was the most effective in improving the friction-reducing and anti-wear abilities of the PI composites. Research results also show that the filled PI composites exhibited better tribological properties under higher PV-product. 相似文献
The most common analyses carried out to assess gas engine oil quality include determination of viscosity, total base number (TBN), and total acid number (TAN). TAN has been considered to be an important indicator of oil quality, specifically in terms of defining oxidation and the extent of acidic contamination of used oils. TAN can be determined by potentiometric titration, and typical values for used oils can reach up to 4 mg KOH/g. A more convenient approach for the determination of TAN is based on infrared (IR) spectral data and multivariate regression models.We developed partial least-squares (PLS) models for the determination of TAN using IR data measured from monograde mineral gas engine oils (SAE 40, medium ash) that have been used in sewer and wood gas engines run with gaseous fuels from a sewage plant and a wood gasification plant, respectively. The final model performance was 0.07 mg KOH/g for the standard error of prediction (SEP). Essential for the development of powerful empirical models was an appropriate variable selection by combining expert knowledge, biPLS or dyn-biPLS, and a genetic algorithm. The optimum complexities of the models (the number of PLS components) and their prediction performances have been estimated by repeated double cross validation (rdCV). 相似文献
A type of additive-SiO2/ZnO combined nanoparticle were obtained by chemical method. The tribologica land repairing properties as lube additives have been studied by four-ball tester and ring-on-block tribotesters. The morphographies of the worn surfaces were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results show that the additive possesses excellent extreme-pressure( EP), anti-wear(AW) , friction reducion and self-repairing properties. The lubrication and repairing mechanism is inferred that SiO2/ZnO combined nanoparticle is sedimented on the surface of steel, the lower surface film is formed under the high temperature and high pressure. The film possess excellent anti-wear , friction-reducing and repairing properties. 相似文献
