石墨干膜润滑剂在碳钢表面摩擦磨损性能试验研究*

传统油或脂润滑剂在极端工况环境下无法满足碳钢类零件的减摩要求,采用干膜润滑剂是提高极端工况环境下碳钢表面摩擦磨损性能的可行性方法。采用超声波分散方法制备以石墨粉末为基体的干膜润滑剂,使用压力喷涂技术使其沉积在碳钢试件表面,在端面摩擦试验仪中开展干摩擦和石墨干膜润滑剂润滑下摩擦磨损性能对比性试验研究。试验结果表明：石墨干膜润滑剂在碳钢表面的沉积效果较好,沉积的石墨干膜润滑剂具有较好的润滑性能,可以有效地保护碳钢表面不被过度磨损;喷涂石墨干膜润滑剂的碳钢试件的工作寿命随着压力载荷和主轴转速的增大而缩短,负载和滑动速度的联合作用会加速涂层向稳定方向的过渡;磨损过程中形成的微观润滑剂颗粒会形成颗粒流润滑,适当添加石墨颗粒粉末可能会延长润滑剂正常发挥减摩作用的时间。制备的石墨干膜润滑剂为碳钢在极端工况环境下的减摩提供了支持。     

Tribological Properties of Lubricating Films on the Al-Si Alloy Surface via Laser Surface Texturing

Dimpled textures were prepared by using a pulse solid laser on the surface of Al-Si alloy. The combination of laser surface texturing (LST) and MoS₂ solid lubricant as well as their tribological properties were investigated in this article. The obtained friction and wear data were critically analyzed to investigate how the parameters of texture influence the tribological performance of Al-Si alloy. Furthermore, morphological investigations of the transfer layers on the worn surfaces were performed and the wear mechanisms are discussed. The results show that the combination of LST and solid lubricant improves the tribological characteristics of Al-Si alloy. The friction coefficient of Al-Si alloy: steel friction pairs can be reduced to 0.15 under dry friction. The lubrication mechanism is attributed to a synergetic effect of providing solid lubricant and traps wear debris in the dimples. It was found that the optimum density of structure was 37% for excellent tribological properties.     

Grooved surface texturing by electrical discharge machining (EDM) under different lubrication regimes

The aim of the present research work was to investigate the effectiveness of grooved surface texturing with a rhombic geometry under different lubrication regimes. Tribological investigation under unidirectional sliding was focused on the effect of texturing parameters including pattern area density on the coefficient of friction under different lubrication regimes, achieved by varying sliding speed and lubricant viscosity. Grooved patterns with different textured area densities were produced on steel samples by electrical discharge machining. Results of this investigation showed that under boundary lubrication, textures resist sliding thus resulting in increased friction. The largest improvement of friction reduction was observed under hydrodynamic lubrication, for low‐viscosity oil when using the textured disc with 21% pattern area density. The reduction of the coefficient of friction if compared with the untextured surface was of approximately 24%. Examination of the sliding surfaces has not shown any quantifiable wear for the contact conditions studied.     

The Effect of Different Temperatures on Friction and Wear Properties of CFRPEEK against AISI 431 Steel under Water Lubrication

The tribological behavior of 30 vol% carbon fiber–reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFRPEEK) against AISI 431 steel under different temperatures of water lubrication was investigated. Friction and wear tests were carried out on a disc-on-disc contact test apparatus under different operating conditions. The results reveal that the lubricant temperature has a significant effect on the friction and wear properties of CFRPEEK sliding against AISI 431 steel. The average friction coefficient and wear rate of CFRPEEK increase with increasing lubricant temperature. However, the wear rate of AISI 431 steel did not have a positive correlation with the wear rate of CFRPEEK under different temperatures of water lubrication. Moreover, the original and worn surfaces of CFRPEEK and AISI 431 steel were imaged by environmental scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy, respectively. The main tribological mechanisms of CFRPEEK sliding against AISI 431 steel were adhesive wear, and increasing the temperature of the lubricant could accelerate wear.     

On the behaviour of an oil lubricated fretting contact

Although many engineering situations involving fretting damage are lubricated, comparatively little has been reported on this aspect of fretting wear. The viscosity of the lubricating oil and its boundary layer performance are expected to influence fretting behaviour, in addition to the normal fretting parameters, such as stroke and contact force.

This paper examines the effect of lubrication regime, oil viscosity and stroke on the behaviour of a ball-against-flat specimen arrangement. Ball and flat specimens were both manufactured from a bearing steel (SUJ2). Polybutane oils, without additives, covering a range of viscosities from 1 to 10 000 cSt, and fretting strokes up to 35 μm were investigated. The lubricating oil was added to the fretting interface after 0, 3 and 2000 fretting cycles had been completed. Lubrication regime, oil viscosity and stroke were all found to affect fretting behaviour in terms of both coefficient of friction (or traction coefficient) and wear. For strokes less than 9 μm, i.e. for conditions approaching almost complete ‘stick’, coefficient of friction values under oil lubrication were well in excess of double those observed without it. These high values suggest that the oil was unable to penetrate into the fretting contact region, but did maintain a shield around it, so that metal-on-metal contact was maintained under oxygen deprived conditions. The lowest values of steady state coefficient of friction (≈ 0.2) were observed when oil lubrication was applied after 2000 cycles had been completed, indicating that surface roughening and the presence of oxide films and oxidised debris assisted penetration of the lubricant into the fretting contact zone.     

微织构光固化填充h-BN的巴氏合金表面摩擦学性能

为了提高巴氏合金在油润滑条件下的摩擦学性能,在巴氏合金表面加工凹坑微织构并利用光固化填充方法填充六方氮化硼(h-BN)固体润滑剂,制备出h-BN与表面微织构相结合的复合润滑结构。研究复合润滑结构在油润滑条件下的摩擦学性能及其减摩润滑机制。结果表明：复合润滑结构的摩擦学性能远高于未织构面和纯织构面;当凹坑微织构直径较小时,织构密度为10%～20%时,复合润滑结构摩擦因数较小,而凹坑直径较大时,随着织构密度的增加,复合润滑结构摩擦因数逐渐减小;当织构密度小于20%时,凹坑直径较小的复合润滑结构摩擦因数小,当织构密度达到30%时,随着凹坑直径的增加,复合润滑结构摩擦因数减小。复合润滑结构能够改善巴氏合金表面摩擦学性能,是因为h-BN固体润滑剂的释放在巴氏合金表面形成了固体润滑薄膜,避免了润滑油膜较薄处的巴氏合金表面直接与45钢表面接触,且释放h-BN固体润滑剂后的微织构凹坑可以起到收集磨粒,储存润滑油的作用。     

Lubricant for Heavily Loaded Slow-Speed Journal Bearing

Slow-speed journal bearings subjected to heavy loads operate in a mixed/boundary lubrication regime. Clearance and lubricant play very important roles in reducing the wear and friction in these bearings. In the present article, an experimental study on heavily loaded slow-speed journal bearings with various radial clearances lubricated with three different lubricants is presented. Lubricants with varying viscosities and containing different percentages of antiwear additives have been used. Bearing surface roughness and out-of-roundness are treated as noise parameters. The results of friction coefficient and total wear have been reported. The experimental results suggest that a lubricant with high viscosity and antiwear additives significantly reduces the coefficient of friction and amount of wear under varying bearing clearances, circularity, and cylindricity. The use of such a robust lubricant may obviate the effect of manufacturing uncertainties. This results in reduction of manufacturing and measurement costs.     

Stribeck Curve Under Friction of Copper Samples in the Steady Friction State

The friction and wear of a pure copper block (99.98 wt% Cu) against a hardened steel disc were studied. The effect of sliding velocity and load on the friction coefficient and wear rate of Cu samples during steady tests was studied. Elasto-hydrodynamic (EHL), mixed (ML) and boundary lubrication (BL) regions were analyzed using the Stribeck curve. The lubrication number of Schipper, Z, was used in the analysis of the Stribeck curve. The transitions from one lubrication region to another are discussed. The mixed EHL region is characterized by stable low values of the friction coefficient, wear rate and temperature. Straight asperity contact is the dominant mechanism under friction of Cu–steel pair in the BL region. High-friction coefficients and wear rates, thin lubricant films and large wear grooves indicate straight asperity contact between rubbed surfaces in the BL region. Although the dominant mechanisms in the mixed EHL and BL regions are different in principle, a steady friction state is preserved in both cases. It is expected that the steady friction state in the BL and mixed EHL regions is associated with deformation and fracture of surface layers but these process occur at different scale levels. It was shown that under friction of Cu–steel pair, two types of ML regions are observed. The first is the stable steady friction of mixed EHL with low values of the friction coefficient and wear rate. The second type of the ML region is the region of unstable friction and wear when a decrease of lubricant film leads to a change of external (roughness, temperature, friction and wear) and internal (strain and stress) parameters. It was found out that a transition to the unstable ML region occurs within a narrow range of Z parameter under definite values of the load and sliding velocity.     

Tribological Properties of Friction Pairs in Lubricant Contaminated with Particles under High Temperature

A liquid–solid lubricant with sand particles of different sizes and concentrations is prepared in advance. The viscosity of the lubricant is measured by a capillary viscometer to determine its relationship to the concentration or size of the sand particles. The relationships between friction and concentration or size of the sand particles are also identified with a UMT2 tribometer. Results indicate that the size of sand particles plays an important role in the lubrication performance; when the size of sand particles is 1–5 μm, the friction coefficient of the liquid–solid lubricant is reduced at low concentration and low load. Contaminant concentration greatly influences the tribological behavior of such a lubricant. The failure probability of the part surface decreases with a reduction in particle concentration; moreover, a high temperature aggravates the friction and wear of this surface. The friction coefficient is 0.14 at 200°C, which is well above the friction coefficient at room temperature (0.078), and the wear volume also increases by 30% compared to the normal temperature. When the temperature is 300°C the wear volume is two times that under room temperature.

Thermoelastohydrodynamic Analysis of Spur Gears with Consideration of Surface Roughness

Thermoelastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) analysis for spur gears with consideration of surface roughness is presented. The model is based on Johnson’s load sharing concept where a portion of load is carried by fluid film and the rest by asperities. The solution algorithm consists of two parts. In the first part, the scaling factors and film thickness with consideration of thermal effect are determined. Then, simplified energy equation is solved to predict the surfaces and film temperature. Once the film temperature is known, the viscosity of the lubricant and therefore friction coefficient are calculated. The predicted results for the friction coefficient based on this algorithm are in agreement with published experimental data as well as those of EHL simulations for rough line contact. First point of contact is the point where the asperities carry a large portion of load and the lubricant has the highest temperature and the lowest thickness. Also, according to experimental investigations, the largest amount of wear in spur gears happens in the first point of contact. Effect of speed on film temperature and friction coefficient has been studied. As speed increases, more heat is generated and therefore film temperature will rise. Film temperature rise will result in reduction of lubricant viscosity and consequently decrease in friction coefficient. Surface roughness effect on friction coefficient is also studied. An increase in surface roughness will increase the asperities interaction and therefore friction coefficient will rise.     

Analysis of interface temperature,forward slip and lubricant influence on friction and wear in cold rolling

To improve cold rolling processes, it is necessary to understand and to optimise contact at roll–strip interface. Thus a simulation test has been developed in our laboratory. The upsetting rolling test (URT) enables to study friction and iron fines pollution by the reproduction of the main industrial contact conditions such as plastic strain, normal and tangential stresses and forward slip. On the basis of the URT, a new experimental protocol has been developed to reproduce industrial lubrication regime. Moreover, a new heating system has been designed to simulate interface temperature which has a decisive effect on lubricant behaviour. These optimisations permit to analyse contact temperature, forward slip and lubricant influence on friction, iron fine pollution and surface aspects. A great influence of temperature and lubricant on friction and wear has been put forward. Actually an increase of the Coulomb friction coefficient associated with a decrease of the iron fines quantity have been shown with an increase of temperature. These results seem to indicate more adhesive wear when temperature increases.

Investigation of the strain distribution with lubrication during the deep drawing process

A lubrication/friction model can be implemented in FEM codes to predict the contact area ratio, friction coefficient and strain distribution in lubricated deep drawing process. In the lubrication analysis, the surface roughness effect on lubrication flow is included by using Wilson and Marsault's average Reynolds equation that is appropriated for mixed lubrication with severe asperity contact. With regard to the asperity contact theory, the well-known flattening effect is considered. Friction is expressed in terms of variables such as lubricant film thickness, sheet roughness, lubricant viscosity, interface pressure, sliding speed, and strain rate. The proposed lubrication/friction model combined with a finite element code of deep drawing process to predict the contact area ratio, friction coefficient and strain distribution. Numerical results showed that the present analysis provides a good agreement with the measured strain distributions.     

Effect of consolidation in boundary lubrication

This paper is concerned with the effects of the colloidal aspect in boundary lubrication. The newly developed method for surface forces measurement has clearly shown the consolidation effect during contact loading. The paper also shows that, in some cases, the friction coefficient varies with the compaction of wear particles in the contact. Friction experiments between a ball and flat (both sapphire) in which the contact is immersed in water, have been performed to understand the effect of compaction of worn material on friction. During friction, wear debris is piled up in the contact and shear behaviour depends on pressure and volume fraction of wear particles.

Wheel/rail adhesion: its relation to rail contamination on british railways

An investigation has been made how wheel/rail adhesion varies and how this may be related to railhead contamination. Experiments with oils and water deposited on rails have been carried out. In dry weather adhesion depends on the quantity of oil present, which normally is so small it affects friction by a boundary lubrication mechanism. Evidence suggests that water reduces adhesion from two causes. On debris free rails it acts as an additional boundary lubricant. With debris present it forms a low shear strength mixture which, in minimally wet conditions, remains on the wear band where wheels contact the rail. In steady rain the debris mixture is squeezed aside and adhesion is possibly improved. In dry weather, debris particles have apparently little influence on the overall adhesion coefficient.
