AbstractIn this study, lithium complex grease (LCG) and polyurea grease (PUG) were synthesized using mineral oil (500SN) and polyalphaolefin (PAO40) as base oil, adsorbed onto lithium complex soap and polyurea as thickeners, respectively. The effects of grease formulation (thickener and base oil with different amounts (80, 85, and 90 wt%) on the corrosion resistance and lubrication function were investigated in detail. The results have verified that the as-prepared greases have good anti-corrosion ability, ascribed to good salt-spray resistance and sealing function. Furthermore, the increase in the amount of base oil reduces the friction of the contact interface to some extent, whereas the wear resistance of these greases is not consistent with the friction reduction, because the thickener has a significant influence on the tribological property of greases, especially load-carrying capacity. PUG displays better physicochemical performance and lubrication function than LCG under the same conditions, mainly depending on the component/structure of polyurea thickener. The polyurea grease with 90 wt% PAO displays the best wear resistance owing to the synergistic lubrication of grease-film and tribochemical film, composed of Fe2O3, FeO(OH), and nitrogen oxide.

In order to improve the surface property of the steel tire mold, carbon steels were processed by electroless Ni-P and Ni-P-PTFE under contrast experiment. The coatings were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were explored by tribometer, salt spray cabinet and advanced electrochemical system. The experimental results showed that the Ni-P coating was amorphous structure, and the Ni-P-PTFE coating was micro-pore structure; The wear resistance of Ni-P-PTFE coating was superior to Ni-P coating; In view of the micro-pore structure, the corrosion resistance of Ni-P-PTFE coating was worse than Ni-P coating, but they were all superior to carbon steels, and the service life of the steel tire mold were improved.

Abstract Thickener formulation plays a significant role in the performance characteristics of grease. The polyurea greases (PUGs) were synthesized using mineral oil (500SN) as the base oil, and by regulating the reaction of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and different organic amines. The as-prepared PUGs from the reaction of MDI and cyclohexylamine/p-toluidine exhibit the optimum physicochemical and friction-wear properties, confirming that the regulation of thickener formulation can improve the performance characteristics of grease, including friction reduction, wear, corrosion resistance, and load-carrying capacity. The anticorrosion and lubrication properties of as-prepared PUGs depend on good sealing functions and a boundary lubrication film (synergy of grease-film and tribo-chemical reaction film), as well as their chemical components and structure.

By vacuum fusion sintering technique made different CeO2 addition Ni-WC composite coatings on 45 steel. Hardness, wear resistance property and corrosion resistance property of the Rare-earth Ni-WC composite coatings were measured and analyzed by Rockwell hardness tester,micro-hardness tester, friction wear testing machine and Salt spray corrosion box. The results showed that:The CeO2 content comes up to 0.75% of the coatings` hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance property better than those of other coatings.

Purpose This paper aims to explore polyaniline (PANI) as a lubricant additive to improve the anti-corrosion and tribological properties of ionic liquids (ILs) for actual applications. Design/methodology/approach ILs were synthesized by dissolving lithium salts in synthetic oil and were used as a base oil to prepare ILs-based greases. PANI was used as an additive. The tribological properties were investigated in detail and the anti-corrosion ability was also assessed via salt spray test. After friction test, the worn surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to analyze the lubrication mechanisms. Findings PANI not only reduces the corrosion but also improves the friction reduction and anti-wear abilities of the ILs-based greases. The analysis indicates that the protective films generated on the worn surfaces were responsible for the preferable anti-corrosion and tribological properties. Originality/value This paper provides an effective approach to improve the anti-corrosion and tribological properties of ILs for actual applications.

The hydraulic support column bears loading and makes reciprocating motion ceaselessly for extended periods, so its service life is far shorter than that of the overall hydraulic support. This paper offers a comparative study on the surface coating of hydraulic support columns with hard chrome plating and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying refabricating to analyze the impact of different refabricating processes on the microstructure, hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the coating (plating). The result shows that the structure of the HVOF coating is uniformly compact, and the HVOF WC10Co4Cr coating has better wear resistance, more than four times that of hard chrome plating. In the neutral salt spray test, the HVOF Ni60 coating shows rustiness at 720 h of the test, which suggests its corrosion resistance is nearly five times that of hard chrome plating. Hence, under the harsh corrosive wear environment, the refabricating HVOF Ni60 is a more suitable replacement for the hydraulic support column coating than the hard chrome plating. Thus, the HVOF Ni60 coating could be an effective replacement for hard chrome plating.

Aluminium plate was cladded to magnesium alloy plate by using the explosive welding. The bonding morphology and composition of the explosive cladding plate was inspected by SEM and EDS. There is a wave bonding at the interface between aluminum plate and magnesium alloy plate. Then ceramic coatings were directly prepared on the surface of aluminum and magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in the same solution and at the same time. The microstructure and composition of MAO coatings were studies by SEM and EDS. The corrosion and wear resistance of MAO coatings on the two sides of the clad plate were investigated by salt spray tests and friction-wear test. The results show that the MAO coating on the Al surface consists of Al, O and Si elements, while MAO coating on the Mg surface consists of Mg, O and Si elements. The corrosion resistance of MAO coating on the Al surface was better than that on Mg surface of the explosive clad plate. The MAO coatings both on the Al surface and on the Mg surface can obviously improve the wear resistance of substrate.
