Study on rheological characteristics of a grease used in high speed bearing

On a self-made super-high shear strain rate rheometer, the rheological characteristics and apparent viscosity curves of a high-speed bearing grease were obtained under different working conditions. A new grease rheological model suited to a shear strain rate range of 0—3.5×10~6s~(-1) was presented. The results showed that the shear stress increased linearly at first and then increased nonlinearly with the increase in shear strain rate up to 1.5×10~6s~(-1), and finally the shear stress decreased slightly with the successive increase in shear strain rate. The shear stress increased with a decreasing rolling speed and an increasing contact pressure. The apparent viscosity decreased rapidly with the increase of shear strain rate at beginning and could approach the viscosity of the base oil if the shear strain rate surpassed 1.5×10~6s~(-1). The fits between the test data and the predicted values by the new model were fairly good.     

高温合金磨削热力耦合及其对表面完整性的影响研究现状

高温合金具有耐热性、耐腐蚀性等优良性能,被广泛应用于航空发动机的精密制造与修复。磨削能够提高部件的加工精度和表面完整性,是加工高温合金材料的重要方法。在磨削过程中,高温合金因材料的高强韧性,使得磨具磨损严重,并且磨削时冷却液难以进入磨削弧区,导致高温合金的磨削力和磨削温度较高。在多刃磨削加工下,复杂的热-力耦合过程对高温合金表面完整性有着重要影响,表面完整性直接影响服役性能。从产生机理、表征方法及控制等方面阐述了磨削热和磨削力的研究现状,首先介绍了高温合金磨削热及磨削力产生的机理及原因,进而从刚性磨削和柔性磨削的角度综述了磨削温度和磨削力的预测模型及方法,从冷却润滑、工艺参数优化及砂轮结构改进等方面调研了磨削温度和磨削力的控制策略。从间接耦合法的角度介绍了磨削热-力耦合建模过程。最后,在概述磨削热力耦合的基础上,总结了在磨削热力耦合作用下高温合金的表面粗糙度、表面形貌、组织结构及残余应力等方面的研究成果,并对高温合金磨削热力耦合作用的研究方向进行了展望。
