Producing gear teeth with high form accuracy and fine surface finish using water-lubricated chemical reactions

A new method was investigated for high-accuracy fine finishing of gear teeth surfaces using a water-lubricated tribo-chemical technique. A pair of shaved gears with rather low surface roughness was rotated in water lubricant for 30 min so that the gear tooth surface contacting the mating tooth was ‘worn’ to a mirror surface and ideal tooth profile, due to the mechano-chemical mild erosion of the contact area. The wear rate was 2.0 μm per 20,000 meshings, corresponding to a wear of one atomic radius thickness per meshing. Oxidation of the steel surface by water molecules is proposed as the dominant wear process. Operation noise from the gear pair rotation was drastically reduced to lower than about 10–15 dB compared to conventionally machined gear surfaces (30 dB in average), as a result of the wear of the tooth surface to form a best-fit profile. The noise increased with further processing of the gear pair. Thus, there is an appropriate number of rotations for suitable surface wear treatment. This new and simple procedure for surface treatment assures saving in energy, and does not require expensive honing techniques or high-accuracy grinding tools.The wear mechanisms used in this process are discussed along with the application of the technique to other processes for precision finishing.     

水润滑下Al2O3 、Al2O3+13%TiO2等离子喷涂层的摩擦磨损特性

针对纯水液压元件摩擦副实际工况，研究了水润滑状态下Al2O3和Al2O3 13%TiO2等离子喷涂试环分别与整体烧结Al2O3块之间的摩擦磨损特性，考察了摩擦系数及试环磨损量随时间的变化，利用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）观察了磨痕的表面形貌，利用X射线能量色散谱仪分析了磨痕表面的元素组成。研究结果表明：水润滑条件下两种摩擦副的磨损机理主要是脆性断裂、微切削与腐蚀磨损；摩擦副Al2O3环/整体烧结Al2O3块的摩擦学性能优于Al2O3 13%TiO2/Al2O3块，它们更适合作为纯水液压元件的摩擦副材料。     

水润滑陶瓷滑动轴承的研究

通过水润滑陶瓷滑动轴承的台架实验,即分别对Si3N4轴套/SiC轴颈、SiC轴套/SiC轴颈、SiC轴套/Si3N4轴颈组成的滑动轴承,在水润滑条件下的承载情况进行对比和验证得知,Si3N4轴套/SiC轴颈不能进行热匹配,SiC轴套/Si3N4轴颈可以进行热匹配但摩擦副性能一般,SiC轴套/SiC轴颈的热匹配性能最好,且在水润滑条件下体现出最佳的摩擦磨损性能,因此得出在大直径、大功率、高转速的条件下,水润滑陶瓷径向滑动轴承的最佳摩擦副组合是SiC/SiC的结论。此外,为解决结构上应力集中带来的一系列问题,针对陶瓷材料的特性,提出一种全包容陶瓷滑动轴承结构,提高了陶瓷滑动轴承使用的安全性和可靠性。     

Numerical analysis of plain journal bearing under hydrodynamic lubrication by water

The article aims to provide references for designing water-lubricated plain journal bearings. Considering the differences between the physical properties of the water and of the oil, the effects of eccentricity ratio on pressure distribution of water film are analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Then numerical analysis of journal bearings with different dimensions is undertaken under different rotational speeds. Based on the analysis, a reference is produced for selecting the initial diameter dimension which is used to design an efficient water-lubricated plain bearing under the given load and rotational speed. At last, the reference is verified by an experimental case.
