The frictional behaviour of thin metallic films on silicon substrates sliding against 52100 steel balls is presented. The motivation of this work is to identify an optimum film thickness that will result in low friction under relatively low loads for various metallic films. Dry sliding friction experiments on silicon substrates with soft metallic coatings (silver, copper, tin and zinc) of various thickness (1–2000 nm) were conducted using a reciprocating pin-on-flat type apparatus under a controlled environment. A thermal vapour deposition technique was used to produce pure and smooth coatings. The morphology of the films was examined using an atomic force microscope, a non-contact optical profilometer and a scanning electron microscope. Following the sliding tests, the sliding tracks were examined by various surface characterization techniques and tools. The results indicate that the frictional characteristics of silicon are improved by coating the surface with a thin metallic film, and furthermore, an optimum film thickness can be identified for silver, copper and zinc coatings. In most cases ploughing marks could be found on the film which suggests that plastic deformation of the film is the dominant mode by which frictional energy dissipation occurred. Based on this observation, the frictional behaviour of thin metallic coatings under low loads is discussed and friction coefficients are correlated with an energy based friction model. 相似文献

Solid thin films of lubricants are often used as protection coatings of working surfaces in frictional contacts. Usually, these films have to contain stable and tribologically active additives like, for example, molybdenum disulphide or graphite. In this work chemically modified silica was investigated as a potential matrix of nanocomposite lubrication films. The sol-gel technique was used with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and triethoxymethylsilane (TEMS) as precursors of organo-silica thin films. Dip coating was applied as the method of film formation. Introducing a methyl group into silica by adding TEMS during sol-gel synthesis of silica films strongly increases their adhesion to the coated materials, which gives possibilities for using them on steel surfaces. The chemical properties of films synthesised by the sol-gel technique were examined by FTIR spectroscopy with the use of the transmission method. The surface topography was imaged and frictional features of organo-silica films were examined by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). 相似文献

Thin film coatings are commonly utilized to prevent wear, modify surface properties, and manipulate the frictional behavior
of various mechanical systems. The behavior of a coating has a direct effect on the life as well as performance of the system.
However, the coating itself is subject to damage, and the quality of the coating is related to the adhesion characteristics
between the coating and the substrate. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of the adhesion properties of thin film is important
to guarantee the reliability of not only the thin film but also the mechanical system. In this study, ramp loading scratch
tests were performed to assess the adhesion characteristics of Ag and ZnO thin films coated on a silicon wafer. Silver thin
film, deposited by sputtering, and ZnO thin film, fabricated by a sol-gel method, were used as scratch specimens. Scratch
tests using a diamond tip were performed with a continuously increasing normal force. During the scratch test, the normal
and frictional forces were monitored to assess the integrity of the film. The Benjamin and Weaver model commonly used for
obtaining the horizontal force during the scratching of films coated on a substrate showed large discrepancies with the experimental
results. In this work, the model was modified with a plowing term to minimize the difference between the experimental and
theoretical results. Using the modified model, the experimental results could be predicted with an accuracy of about 10%. 相似文献

We have used a microcontact printing approach to produce high quality and inexpensive holey carbon micro-arrays. Fabrication involves: (1) micromolding a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer stamp from a microfabricated master that contains the desired array pattern; (2) using the PDMS stamp for microcontact printing a thin sacrificial plastic film that contains an array of holes; (3) floating the plastic film onto TEM grids; (4) evaporating carbon onto the plastic film and (5) removing the sacrificial plastic film. The final holey carbon micro-arrays are ready for use as support films in TEM applications with the fidelity of the original microfabricated pattern. This approach is cost effective as both the master and the stamps have long-term reusability. Arbitrary array patterns can be made with microfabricated masters made through a single-step photolithographic process. 相似文献

Comparison of friction measurements using the atomic force microscope and the surface forces apparatus: the issue of scale 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Results are presented of lateral force measurements using the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the surface forces apparatus (SFA). Two different probes are used in the AFM measurements; a sharp silicon nitride tip (radius R20 nm) and a glass ball (R15 m). The lateral force is measured between the (silicon nitride or glass) probe and a mica surface which has been coated by a thin lubricant film. In the SFA, a thin lubricant film separates two molecularly smooth mica surfaces (R1 cm) which are slid relative to each other. Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were used as the lubricant films. In the SFA where the contact diameter is largest, the PFPE film shows much lower friction than PDMS. As the size of the probe decreases, the difference in the measured friction decreases. For sharp AFM tips, no clear distinction between the tribological properties of the films can be made. Hence, the measured coefficient of friction varies according to the length scale probed, at least for small dimensions. 相似文献

A friction force measurement system using the floating liner method was developed to study the frictional behavior of piston rings. The measurement system was designed to control the effect of the secondary piston motion and to control temperatures of the cylinder wall and oil. The friction force between the barrel shaped piston ring and the cylinder liner was measured under flooded oil supply conditions. The measured friction forces were classified into five frictional modes with regard to the combination of predominant lubrication regimes (boundary, mixed and hydrodynamic lubrication) and stroke regions (mid-stroke and dead centers). The modes were identified on a Stribeck diagram, where the friction coefficients were evaluated both at mid-stroke and at the dead centers. 相似文献

Micro-flows are growing more important and useful for a wide variety of scientific and engineering fields such as bioanalysis, drug development and administration, Organ-on-a-Chip, etc, but accurate and reliable measurements traceable to the International System of Units can be challenging in micro-to-femto flow operating ranges. In this paper a gravimetric method has been used to quantify the measurement error of the volumetric flow rate of water from 1000 μL/h to 1 μL/h delivered by a syringe pump in different experimental conditions that replicate the current microfluidics setups. Several sources of error have been determined such as the mass measurement, the fluid evaporation dependent on the gravimetric methodology implemented and the repeatability, believed to be closely related to the operating mode of the stepper motor and drive screw pitch of the syringe pump. The elastic deformability of the medical grade 1 mL polypropylene syringes commonly used in micro-flows has greatly affected the volumetric flow rate, unlike the glass syringes tested. Finally, testing the gravimetric method while adding PDMS microfluidic channels to the flow circuit served to demonstrate that material, dimensions and shape of the microchannels did not show significant influence on the volumetric flow rate error for the flow rates imposed, important to establish well defined methodologies for microfluidics. 相似文献

Dependence of the friction process on the molecular structure and architecture of thin polymer films
P.S. Thomas 《Tribology International》1996,29(8):631-637
The frictional properties of a homologous series of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates) (PnAMA) and a series of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films, cast from a variety of solvents, are characterized. The choice of polymer film was driven by the consideration of the possible mechanisms for the accommodation of a macroscopically applied shear stress by molecular entities. Two possible mechanisms are proposed: (i) the relative flexibility of the polymer backbone chain. For this purpose the PnAMAs have been chosen. By varying the length of the substituent chain, the relative molecular freedom around the backbone chain is altered. These molecular differences are sensed in the frictional properties at the macroscopic level, and (ii) the molecular organization is also proposed to be a factor in determining the friction response of a particular polymer film. For this purpose, the frictional properties of PMMA films cast from different solvents are investigated. There is observed to be a strong influence of the molecular organization on the frictional properties of the solvent cast PMMA films. The molecular probe employed to characterize the molecular environment is vibrational spectroscopy. Conformationally sensitive vibrational modes are used to determine the relative flexibility of the backbone chain and the organization of the chain network. 相似文献

Optical measurement techniques have been successfully used for elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubricant films studies for several
decades and have significantly helped to understand the lubrication mechanisms within highly loaded machine contacts. Nevertheless,
there are still many phenomena waiting for the explanation and new experimental approaches and measurements techniques are
developed. Recent studies have provided promising results as to the application of spectroscopic reflectometry to the study
of EHD films. Nevertheless, some simplifications were introduced. The main aim of this study was to develop a physically correct
approach that could provide the additional information about the properties of lubricant film within highly loaded contacts.
The principal part of this article was devoted to the effort to develop and verify the optical design suitable for such applications.
This verification was carried out within lubricated contact formed between a steel barrel and sapphire disc without any semi-reflective
layer. This simplified optical arrangement has enabled to obtain the correct lubricant film data and verify the applicability
of the spectroscopic reflectometry for EHD lubrication films study. It represents the first step in this application of spectroscopic
reflectometry and further research in the field of the behavior of thin solid films under high contact pressures is necessary
to enable thin film measurements. 相似文献

We performed scanning force microscopy (SFM) in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) on AgBr thin films which were in situ deposited on NaCl(001) substrates. The morphology of the initial growth stage and the nanotribological properties of these thin films are characterized and discussed. The lateral (frictional) forces are measured as a function of normal load. The local friction coefficients are extracted by means of the two-dimensional histogram technique. In the low load regime, friction coefficients of 0.33 ± 0.07 and <0.03 are found between probing SiO
x
tip and AgBr and NaCl, respectively. The two-dimensional histogram reveals the transition from the force regime of wearless friction to the initial stage of wear on this thin film system. High-resolution SFM images of AgBr(001) are presented which reveal the atomic-scale periodicity of an unreconstructed AgBr(001) surface. The stick-slip nature of the frictional force is demonstrated. 相似文献

Evaporation of water cannot be fully avoided when an unsupported thin vitrified film of an aqueous suspension is prepared for cryo-electron microscopy. This results in increasing concentration of solute which could affect the observed material. We have quantitatively studied this effect by measuring the contrast of polystyrene spheres in a metrizamide solution. The drying effect is generally negligible when specimens are prepared on a hydrophilic perforated support but it is frequently important when hydrophobic films are used instead. A flow of humid air, double blotting with minimal exposure of the thin liquid film to the atmosphere, or an automatic plunger optimizing the blotting conditions are simple methods for reducing drying effects. With this third device acting on a hydrophilic supporting film, the increase of solute concentration is limited to less than 20%. 相似文献

In this work, we present the capability of ultrahigh vacuum analytical tribometry for studying mechanisms of friction at low temperatures. We investigated the low-temperature frictional behavior of two different materials: ice and polyethylene (PE). We successfully formed a thin layer of ice on a steel surface, at temperature as low as 123 K in an ultrahigh vacuum. The surface characterization technique used for this study was X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We investigated the frictional behavior of such a thin ice layer. The changing friction as a function of temperature indicates that the ice might undergo pre-melting even at temperatures below 123 K. A polyethylene (PE) film previously deposited on a metal surface also showed changing friction as a function of temperature in the range 123 to 400 K. As there is no change in the nature of the surface chemistry of the polymer, as indicated by XPS, the results are therefore interpreted in terms of change in ductile-to-brittle transition of the polymer film over the temperature range. This work enables the fundamental investigation of friction at low temperatures with the help of surface analysis. 相似文献
