Abstract Judicious selection of additives having chemical and physical compatibility with the DLC films may help improving the triboligical properties and durability life of DLC-oil composite lubrication systems. In this study, Cu nanoparticles were added to PAO6 base oil to compose a solid-liquid composite lubrication system with W-DLC film. The effects of nanoparticle concentration, test temperature and applied load on tribological performance were systematically studied by a ball-on-disk friction test system. The tribological results illustrated that Cu nanoparticles could lower the coefficient of friction (COF) and dramatically reduce the wear rates of W-DLC films. The optimal tribological behavior was achieved for the 0.1 wt.% concentration under 30 ℃ and the applied load of 100 N. The test temperature and applied load were vital influencing factors of the solid–liquid lubrication system. The bearing effect and soft colloidal abrasive film of spherical Cu nanoparticle contributed to the excellent tribological performance of the composite lubrication system under mild test conditions, meanwhile, the local delamination of W-DLC film and oxidation were the main causes of the friction failure under harsh test conditions. With test temperature and applied loads increase the degree of graphitization of the W-DLC film increased. In conclusion, there are several pivotal factors affecting the tribological performance of solid–liquid lubrication systems, including the number of nanoparticles between rubbing contact area, graphitization of the worn W-DLC films, tribofilms on the worn ball specimens and oxidation formed in friction test, and the dominant factor is determined by the testing condition.

Abstract Solid-liquid composite lubrication system has attracted an increased interest for low friction and wear. Nevertheless, the effect of mechanical and surface properties of the solid materials, especially the mechanical and surface properties governed by doping elements, on the tribological performance solid-liquid composite lubrication system is still not well comprehended. Here, we reported the effect of W content on the mechanical and surface properties of W-DLC coatings as well as the tribological properties of W-DLC coatings under (choline chloride-urea and choline chloride-thiourea) deep eutectic solvents lubrication. Although the wear of W-DLC coatings under dry friction increases with W content, the wear under DESs is slight when coatings show excellent wettability to DESs or a DES-derived tribochemical film is formed. We demonstrate that the tribological behavior of W-DLC and DESs composite lubrication system is related to the mechanical properties of W-DLC coatings together with the contact angle and tribochemical interaction between DESs and W-DLC coatings.

The effects of textured tubes on the tribological performance in Tube Hydroforming (THF) are discussed. Textured surfaces, namely sand blasted, knurled, and as rolled surfaces were tested under various interface pressure and sliding velocity conditions. Sand blasted textured tubes were found to have the best tribological performance. It was also found that the interface pressure has a great influence on the attainment of Micro-Plasto HydroDynamic Lubrication (MPHDL) and Micro-Plasto HydroStatic Lubrication (MPHSL) conditions at the tool-workpiece interface. Preliminary finite element simulations on the deformation behavior of tube surface shows that surface textures can be optimized to enhance tribological performance.

Purpose This paper aims to improve the tribological performance of grease-lubricated spherical plain bearings (SPBs) under heavy load, dimple-type textures were prepared by laser on the outer surface of the inner ring. The influence of roughness parameters of a textured surface on reducing friction coefficient and temperature rise was also explored. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a laser processing method to fabricate dimple-type textures. Three-dimensional roughness parameters were used to characterize the textured surfaces. The friction coefficients of five SPBs with surface texture and one original commercially available SPB without surface texture under different nominal loads were measured on a self-established test rig. The data of temperature rise were obtained by nine embedded thermal couples. Findings The results indicate that SPBs with textures generally exhibit lower friction coefficients than the original SPB without textures. The dimple depth has a significant influence on improving the tribological performance, which coincides with the analysis by surface roughness parameters. A textured surface with negative Ssk and high Vvc has the minimum temperature rise. Originality/value As it is too difficult to arrange sensors into heavy-load SPBs, there are few reports about the temperature characteristics. Through nine embedded thermal couples, the distribution of temperature rise on the inner ring of SPBs was given in this study. The positive effect of surface texture on reducing temperature rise and friction coefficient was verified, which is beneficial for the design of heavy-load SPBs.

B4c Particle

The properties of metallic alloys can be substantial modified by the addition of a second phase particles. This is especially noticeable when hard particles are incorporated in a relatively soft matrix, often resulting in improved mechanical and tribological performance. This paper presents the results of our study on mechanical and tribological performance enhancement of 6061 Aluminum alloys by incorporation of B4C particle via Friction stir processing (FSP). Unidirectional ball on flat friction and wear tests were conducted with a base material, friction stir processed 6061-Al and 6061-Al doped with B4C particles via FSP against 52100 bearing steel balls under dry sliding conditions. The incorporation of particles not only reduced friction by 30% but also reduced wear by 2 orders of magnitude compared to unprocessed base and FSP material without particles incorporation. FSP alone without particles addition did not have a significant effect on the tribological behavior of the tested aluminum alloy.

Machining-induced surface topography has a significant effect on tribological performance of machined components in sliding contact. However, the effect of different surface topography by turning versus grinding on tribological performance has received very little attention. In this study four types of surface topography by turning and grinding AISI 52100 bearing steel (62 HRc) were prepared and characterized to study its effect on friction and wear in sliding contact. Dry and lubricated reciprocating sliding wear tests with an on-line acoustic emission (AE) sensor were carried out using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The experimental results have shown that: (i) the turned surfaces, regardless of the presence of a white layer, yield smaller friction of coefficients in sliding along feed marks than across sliding at both dry and lubricated conditions. However, the opposite hold true for the ground surfaces; (ii) friction of coefficients (0.6∼0.8) at dry conditions is higher for both turned and ground fresh surfaces than their white layer counterparts regardless of sliding direction. At lubricated conditions, Friction of coefficients (0.1∼0.12) are smaller for the both turned and ground fresh surfaces than the white layer surfaces in along sliding, while it is equivalent in across sliding; (iii) the trends of acoustic amplitude amplitude are consistent with those of frictional coefficients for the turned or ground surfaces at dry conditions. Similar trends are also true for the turned surfaces at lubricated conditions, but not for the ground surfaces; and (iv) the wear debris on the track may act as solid lubricants to reduce the sliding frictional coefficient. Machining induced white layers leads to a better wear resistance than the fresh surfaces in either along or across sliding.

Surface texturing is an important approach for controlling the tribological behavior of friction pairs used in mechanical and biological engineering. In this study, by utilizing the method of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, the lubrication model of a friction pair with micro-dimple array was established based on the Navier–Stokes equations. The typical pressure distribution of the lubricant film was analyzed. It was found that a positive hydrodynamic pressure is generated in the convergent part of the micro-dimple, while a negative hydrodynamic pressure is generated in the divergent part. With suitable parameters, the total integration of the pressure is positive, which can increase the load-carrying capacity of a friction pair. The effects of the micro-dimple parameters as well as fluid properties on tribological performance were investigated. It was concluded that under the condition of hydrodynamic lubrication, the main mechanism for the improvement in the tribological performance is the combined effects of wedging and recirculation. Within the range of parameters investigated in this study, the optimum texture density is 13%, while the optimum aspect ratio varies with the Reynolds number. For a given Reynolds number, there exists a combination of texture density and aspect ratio at which the optimum tribological performance could be obtained. Conclusions from this study could be helpful for the design of texture parameters in mechanical friction components and even in artificial joints.
