抗磨添加剂对不同服役阶段润滑油摩擦学性能的影响

采用黏度测试仪测定新油及3种不同服役阶段润滑油的黏度,采用UMT-II摩擦磨损试验机考察其摩擦学性能,并同时考察3种在用润滑油添加抗磨添加剂后的摩擦学性能。研究结果表明:润滑油的黏度随着运行里程数的增加呈现先降后增的趋势;随润滑油运行里程数的增加,润滑油的摩擦因数增大,导致试验钢球的磨损量也增加;抗磨添加剂对不同服役阶段的润滑油的抗磨性能影响程度不同,在磨合磨损期和正常磨损期,加入抗磨添加剂后并不能改善润滑油的抗磨性能,而在异常磨损期,抗磨添加剂的加入可较好地改善润滑油的抗磨性能。     

合成基润滑油聚α-烯烃低温摩擦润滑性能研究

在低温条件下,润滑油黏度变大,流动性变差,添加剂活性降低,对润滑性能产生显著影响。为研究PAO润滑油的低温摩擦润滑性能,以不同黏度级别PAO基础油为研究对象,采用流变仪MCR302、SRV摩擦磨损试验机,研究PAO润滑油样及添加极压抗磨添加剂的油样在低温条件下的流变性能和磨损润滑性能。试验结果表明：在低温环境下,随着温度降低,PAO油样的黏度急剧增大,黏度越大的油样其受低温条件影响越明显;PAO油样在低温环境下,表现出明显的剪切稀化现象;低温环境使得极压抗磨剂添加剂的活性变低,添加剂并未表现出减摩抗磨作用。因此,低温试验条件对PAO基础油和添加剂的摩擦学性能产生显著影响,阻碍了基础油和润滑油添加剂减摩抗磨作用的发挥。

Tribological Interaction of Plasma-Functionalized Polytetrafluoroethylene Nanoparticles with ZDDP and Ionic Liquids

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanoparticles were coated with consecutive plasma deposited siliceous and methacrylate coatings. Secondary zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), phosphonium cation and phosphate anion ionic liquid (IL), and IL with phosphonium cation and dithiophosphate anion were mixed with the functionalized nanoparticles. Tribological studies were carried out for seven separate formulations including base oil, oils with only additives, and oils with additives and functionalized PTFE particles. Results indicate strong synergistic interactions of ZDDP and ILs with functionalized nanoparticles providing enhanced friction and wear performance. Chemical analysis of the tribofilms using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy indicates functionalized PTFE nanoparticles interact synergistically with ZDDP and ILs to form silicon- and fluorine-doped tribofilms resulting in superior tribological performance.     

Tribological properties of crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids as lubricating additives in rapeseed oils

The friction and wear properties of rapeseed oils with different concentrations and crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids were studied by an Optimol SRV oscillating friction and wear tester. Crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids have better solubility than conventional ionic liquids in rapeseed oils. The tribological test results showed that the crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids as lubricating additives in rapeseed oil exhibited better tribological performance than the base oil for steel/steel friction pair under various loads. It is noted that the friction pair showed the least friction coefficient and wear volume when the concentration of ionic liquids was 1 wt.%. The better tribological properties of friction pair should be attributed to the effective boundary films formed in the worn surface, on various tribochemical products, organometallic products and iron oxides.

Comparison of boundary lubrication films formed under four‐ball friction test conditions with different AW/EP Additives‐an X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy study

The antiwear and extreme‐pressure properties of six different types of additive (molybdenum dialkyldithiophosphate, dibenzyl disulphide, molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate, zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, chlorinated paraffin wax, and triaryl phosphate) were evaluated by standard four‐ball friction and wear tests. This was followed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X‐ray photoelectron imaging (XPI) analyses of the worn surfaces to determine the structure of the boundary lubrication film and the mechanism of the tribochemical reaction occurring during the friction process. The presence of the additives in the base oil significantly increased the weld load and drastically reduced the wear‐scar diameter, suggesting antiwear and extreme‐pressure properties of the additives. The enhanced antiwear and loadcarrying capacity of the additive‐containing oils was attributed to the formation of a complex boundary lubrication film formed between the surfaces during the friction process as a result of the tribochemical reaction. The antiwear and extreme‐pressure properties of the additives were explained based on the XPS data. The studies indicated that the lubricating properties of the additives depend on their chemical nature and reactivity with metal surfaces.

Friction and Wear Phenomena of Vegetable Oil–Based Lubricants with Additives at Severe Sliding Wear Conditions

The tribological responses of palm oil and soybean oil, combined with two commercial antiwear additives (zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate and boron compound), were investigated at a lubricant temperature of 100°C and under severe contact conditions in a reciprocating sliding contact. The friction coefficient of palm oil with zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate was closest to the commercial mineral engine oil, with a 2% difference. The soybean oil with zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate produced a 57% improvement in wear resistance compared to its pure oil state. The existence of boron nitride in vegetable oils was only responsive in reduction of wear rather than friction. The response of commercial antiwear additives with vegetable oils showed a potential for the future improvement in the performance of vegetable oils.     

Tribological properties of phosphate esters as additives in rape seed oil

With the growing concern about environmental pollution, vegetable oils have begun to be applied as base oils for environmentally friendly lubricants. Additives containing phosphorus can be used for their excellent antiwear properties and low toxicity. In view of this, a study of a series of phosphate esters as additives in rape seed oil (RSO) was carried out using a four‐ball tester. The results indicate that phosphate esters possess very good load‐carrying capacity and good antiwear and friction‐reducing properties compared with RSO by itself. Surface analysis of the worn balls was carried out using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tribological mechanism of the additives is discussed on the basis of the experimental results.     

Ionic Liquids as Novel Lubricants and Additives for Diesel Engine Applications

The lubricating properties of two ionic liquids (ILs) with the same anion but different cations, one ammonium IL [C₈H₁₇]₃NH.Tf₂N and one imidazolium IL C₁₀mim.Tf₂N, were evaluated both in neat form and as oil additives. Experiments were conducted using a standardized reciprocating sliding test with a segment of a Cr-plated diesel engine piston ring against a gray cast iron flat specimen. The cast iron surface was prepared with simulated honing marks as on a typical internal combustion engine cylinder liner. The selected ILs were benchmarked against conventional hydrocarbon oils. Substantial friction and wear reductions, up to 55% and 34%, respectively, were achieved for the neat ILs compared to a fully formulated 15W40 engine oil. Adding 5 vol% ILs into mineral oil has demonstrated significant improvement in the lubricity. One blend even outperformed the 15W40 engine oil with 9% lower friction and 34% less wear. Lubrication regime modeling, worn surface morphology examination, and surface chemical analysis were conducted to help understand the lubricating mechanisms for ILs. Results suggest great potential for using ionic liquids as base lubricants or lubricant additives for diesel engine applications.     

Lubrication Mechanism of Phosphonium Phosphate Ionic Liquid Additive in Alkylborane–Imidazole Complexes

The assessment of ionic liquids (ILs) as lubricants in several tribological systems has shown their ability to provide remarkable reduced friction and protection against wear, whether they are used as additives or in the neat form. However, their corrosion and limited solubility in non-polar hydrocarbon oils represent the bottleneck-limiting factors for the use of ILs as lubricants. Therefore, in order to tackle these problems, mixtures of alkylborane–imidazole complexes with one halogen-free IL as additive were used in this study. The knowledge of the additive–surface interactions and hence the understanding of tribological properties are an important issue for lubricant formulations and were also investigated in this work. Thus, combination effects between two ionic liquid additives, a halogenated and a halogen-free one, were evaluated by a ball-on-disc-type tribometer under boundary lubrication conditions. Effective friction reduction and anti-wear properties have been demonstrated in tribological investigations when adding between 0.7 and 3.4 wt% of the halogen-free IL into base fluid composed of alkylborane–imidazole complexes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the steel specimens were conducted to study the correlation between tribological properties and chemical surface composition of the boundary films formed on the rubbing surface. This work suggests potential applications for using halogen-free ILs as additives for synthetic ionic liquid lubricants.     

Investigation of the Stability and Tribological Performance of Ionic Nanoliquids

In previous studies, nanoparticles and ionic liquids (ILs) have been used separately as oil additives and have been shown to reduce friction and wear. In this study, the stability and tribological performance of ionic nanoliquids (INLs), which combine nanoparticles and miscible ionic liquids together as oil additives, were investigated. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were dispersed in a mixture of polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil and ionic liquid (tetradecyltrihexylphosphonium bis (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl phosphinate)) using an ultrasonic homogenizer. The coefficient of friction was studied using a tribometer with a ball-on-disk configuration. The wear track was measured using a Bruker Contour GT-K Optical Profiler and the wear volume was calculated. The effects of concentration and load on the coefficient of friction and wear were investigated. The effects of ultrasonic mixing time and nanoparticle concentration on the stability of the solutions were also studied.     

The influence of base oil polarity on the tribological performance of zinc dialkyl dithiophospate additives

ZDDP blended in two base oils with different polarities were tested in mixed rolling-sliding conditions. The results showed significant differences in friction and wear when the additive is blended in the different oils. When ZDDP is blended in a non-polar base oil, the additive molecules have a better access to the steel surface, leading to higher adsorption rates than when ZDDP is blended in a polar oil, resulting in the formation of thicker ZDDP-derived reaction layers and influencing tribological performance. These results indicate the importance of base oil polarity on the ability of ZDDP to reach the surface and the influence on tribological performance.     

富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨极压抗磨协同性能研究

为探讨富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨的极压抗磨协同性能,利用四球试验机考察富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨复配后在PAO基础油中的摩擦学性能;采用扫描电子显微镜对试验钢球磨痕形貌进行分析,探究富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨的协同作用机制。结果表明:富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨单剂对PAO基础油减摩抗磨效果的改善不明显,而富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨复配后可明显提高油样的减摩抗磨性能,其中质量分数0.01%富勒烯与0.005%二硫化钨复配后减摩抗磨协同效果最优,这是因为富勒烯能够实现滚动摩擦,而纳米二硫化钨能够沉淀到磨损处,起到修复的作用,两者的协同作用,提高了基础油的抗磨减摩性能;富勒烯与纳米二硫化钨复配并不能提高基础油极压性能,这是因为富勒烯不能与纳米二硫化钨生成新的物质来提高基础油的承载能力。     

Friction Reduction and Antiwear Capacity of Engine Oil Blends Containing Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate and Molybdenum-Complex Additives

The efficacy of oil blends containing zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZnDTP) and molybdenum (Mo)-complex additives to improve the tribological properties of boundary-lubricated steel surfaces was investigated experimentally. The performance of oil blends containing three different types of Mo-complex additives of varying Mo and S contents with or without primary/secondary ZnDTP additions were investigated at 100°C. The formation of antiwear tribofilms was detected in situ by observing the friction force and contact voltage responses. Wear volume and surface topography measurements obtained from surface profilometry and scanning electron microscopy studies were used to quantify the antiwear capacity of the formed tribofilms. The tribological properties are interpreted in terms of the tribofilm chemical composition studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that blending the base oil only with the Mo-compound additives did not improve the friction characteristics. However, an optimum mixture of Mo complexes and ZnDTP additive provided sufficient amounts of S and Mo for the formation of antiwear tribofilms containing low-shear strength MoS ₂ that reduces sliding friction. In addition, the formation of a glassy phosphate phase due to the synergistic effect of the ZnDTP additive enhances the wear resistance of the tribofilm. This study shows that ZnDTP- and Mo-containing additives incorporated in oil blends at optimum proportions improve significantly the tribological properties of boundary-lubricated steel surfaces sliding at elevated temperatures.

CuO, ZrO2 and ZnO nanoparticles as antiwear additive in oil lubricants

This work presents and discusses the antiwear behaviour of nanoparticle suspensions in a polyalphaolefin (PAO 6). CuO, ZnO and ZrO₂ nanoparticles were separately dispersed at 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%wt. in PAO 6 using an ultrasonic probe for 2 min. AW properties were obtained using a TE53SLIM tribometer with a block-on-ring configuration. Tests were made under a load of 165 N, sliding speed of 2 m/s and a total distance of 3.066 m. Wear surfaces were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) after wear tests. The study led to the following conclusions: all nanoparticle suspensions exhibited reductions in friction and wear compared to the base oil; the suspensions with 0.5% of ZnO and ZrO₂ had the best general tribological behaviour, exhibiting high friction and wear reduction values even at low deposition levels on the wear surface; CuO suspensions showed the highest friction coefficient and lowest wear per nanoparticle content of 2%; and the antiwear mechanism of nanoparticulate additive was produced by tribo-sintering.     

Surface Roughness Effects on Metallic Contact and Friction

A study was made of surface roughness effects on metallic contact and friction in the transition zone between hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. The system used was one of pure sliding and relatively high contact stress, namely a fixed steel ball riding on a rotating steel cylinder.

It was found that very smooth and very rough surfaces gave less metallic contact than surfaces of intermediate roughness; very smooth surfaces also gave less friction.

Four different types of antiwear/antifriction additives (including tricresyl phosphate) were studied and although they were found to reduce metallic contact and friction, they had little effect in reducing surface roughness. Rather, the additives merely slowed down the wearing-in process of the base oil. Thus, the “chemical polishing” mechanism advanced for the antiwear behavior of tricresyl phosphate appears to be incorrect.

With rough surfaces, the improvement in load-carrying capacity with increasing viscosity was less than that shown previously with smooth surfaces. Also, oils with a large pressure-viscosity coefficient did not show the expected beneficial effect with rougher surfaces.
