The tribological properties of MoS2 microsized spheres (MS-MoS2) with diameter of 0.5–3μm modified by self-prepared surfactant quaternary ammonium salt of 2-undecyl-1-dithioureido-ethyl-imidazoline (SUDEI) as an additive in base oil 500 SN were investigated and compared with those of commercial colloidal MoS2(CC-MoS2) on a four-ball tester and an Optimol SRV oscillating friction and wear tester in a ball-on-disk contact configuration. The worn surfaces of the bottom flat disk were examined with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the MoS2 microsized spheres product was a much better extreme-pressure additive and antiwear and friction-reduction additive in 500 SN than commercial colloidal MoS2(CC-MoS2). Under the appropriate concentration of 0.1% and 0.25% for MS-MoS2 and CC-MoS2 and the load of 400N, the friction coefficient of MS-MoS2/oil and CC-MoS2/oil decreased about 25.0% and 12.5% and the wear volume loss decreased about 50.4% and 12.9% compared with the pure base stock. The boundary lubrication mechanism could be deduced as the effective chemical adsorption film formed by the long chain alkyl (C11H23) and active elements (S and N) in the surfactant SUDEI and tribochemical reaction film composed of the tribochemical reaction products.

Oil-soluble compounds containing boron as lubricating additives were restricted by the hydrolysis of borate ester. In order to overcome this problem, cerium borate nanoparticles modified with oleic acid (O-CeB) as a potential substitute for conventional lubricant additive were studied in detail. The microstructures of the prepared nanoparticles were characterized. Tribological properties of cerium borate nanoparticles used as additive in base oil were evaluated, and the worn surface of the steel ball was investigated. The results show that O-CeB possesses better anti-wear ability at relatively higher concentration; in particular, it shows better friction-reducing ability under all these studied concentrations. Under higher load, its anti-wear property and friction-reducing property are better than that of Vanlube 289 in the base oil. Based on these results of interferometric surface profilometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it can be deduced that a continuous resistance film containing depositions and the tribochemical reaction products was formed during the sliding process.

Abstract Herein, core-shell structural SiO2@Cu and SiO2@MoS2 microspheres were prepared using SiO2 as hard core, Cu and MoS2 as shell. As lubricant additives were introduced into base oil (PAO 40), their friction-reduction and wear-resistance were investigated in detail. Comparing with onefold additive (SiO2, Cu and MoS2), such core-shell structure additives can improve the tribological behaviors at the Hertz contact stress range of 1.26 ~ 2.72 GPa (SiO2@Cu reduces the friction and wear up to 32.47% and 67.86% at 2.72 GPa, respectively). Besides, the tribological properties of SiO2@Cu microspheres are superior to that of SiO2@MoS2 (the wear volume was reduced by 48.45% at 2.72 GPa). The excellent tribological behaviors of SiO2@Cu microspheres can be ascribed to its structural advantage, the synergistic effect of hard SiO2 core and Cu shell. The rolling effect of SiO2, easy-shearing and self-repairing of Cu shell offer a synergistic lubrication function and form a dense protection film, thereby contributing to the optimal lubrication performance.

The synthesis and application of nanometer-sized particles have received considerable attention in recent years because of their different physical and chemical properties from those of the bulk materials or individual molecules; however, few experimental investigations on the tribological properties of lubricating oils with and without nanoferromagnetic particles have been performed. This work investigates the tribological properties of Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoferromagnetic as additive in 46# turbine oil using a four-ball friction and wear tester. It is shown that the 46# turbine oil containing Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoparticles has much better friction reduction and antiwear abilities than the base oil. The 46# turbine oil doped with 6wt%Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoparticles show the best tribological properties among the tested oil samples, and PB value is increased by 26%, and the decreasing percentage of wear scar diameter is 25.45% compared to base oil.

AbstractLayered palygorskite (PAL), commonly called attapulgite, is a natural inorganic clay mineral composed of magnesium silicate. In this study, an aqueous miscible organic solvent treatment method is adopted to prepare molybdenum-dotted palygorskite (Amo-PMo) nanoplatelets, which greatly improved the specific surface area of PAL and the dispersion effect in an oil-based lubricant system. Their layered structure and size were confirmed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy. Following a tribological test lubricated with three additives (PAL, organic molybdenum (SN-Mo), and Amo-PMo), it was found that the sample of 0.5 wt% Amo-PMo exhibited the best tribological properties with a coefficient of friction of 0.09. Moreover, the resulting wear scar diameter and wear volume of the sliding ball surface were 63% and 49.6% of those lubricated with base oil, respectively. Its excellent lubricating performance and self-repairing ability were mainly attributed to the generated MoS2 adsorbed on the contact surfaces during the tribochemical reaction, thereby effectively preventing the direct collision between asperities on sliding solid surfaces. Thus, as-prepared Amo-PMo nanoplatelets show great potential as oil-based lubricant additives, and this study enriches the existing application of PAL in industry.

The friction and wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs lubricated by n- Al2O3 additives under ultrasonic vibration or not were studied. The scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were carried out to analyse the wear scar surface. The effect mechanism of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was discussed. The results indicated that ultrasonic vibration could decrease the friction and wear of GCr15/45# friction pairs, when the content of n-Al2O3 was 0.5wt%, the effect of ultrasonic vibration on friction pairs was most obvious. The friction coefficient, wear volume and wear scar depth under ultrasonic vibration decreased 10%, 34% and 13%, respectively. The friction reduction and anti-wear mechanism of n-Al2O3 was single “micro ball bearing” without ultrasonic vibration, and it changed to “micro ball bearing” and adsorption penetration film with ultrasonic vibration, so the friction coefficient and wear volume was reduced.

A series of new aryloxycyclophosphazene derivatives substituted with imidazolium ionic liquids was synthesized. Their tribological properties were investigated on an Optimol SRV IV oscillating friction and wear tester in ambient condition. An electric field was imposed between the ball and disk to monitor the tribochemical reaction by means of “contact resistance.” These ionic liquids substituted cyclophosphazene derivatives present lower friction coefficient and wear volume loss than tetrakis-(3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-bis(4-fluorophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene. The polarity of ionic liquids is believed to provide strong adsorption to contact surfaces and can form a boundary lubricating film leading to friction and wear reductions. Introducing the ionic liquids to cyclophosphazene may be a new method to improve the tribological properties of cyclophosphazene derivatives.

In this research, rheological and tribological performance of additive V2O5 nanoparticles in a light mineral oil has been investigated. For rheological performance, the addition of 0.2 wt. % V2O5 could reduce the viscosity of the base oil for 6%. Considering the overall friction reduction in boundary, mixed, and hydrodynamic lubrication regimes, that with 0.1 wt. % V2O5 exhibited the best effect. Friction coefficient of base oil could be reduced by 33%. In terms of wear, the addition of 0.2 wt. % V2O5 showed the lowest wear rate, which is 44% reduction compared to base oil. Through Raman spectrum and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, it was found that V2O5 involved tribochemical reaction during rubbing. Vanadium intermetallic alloy (V–Fe–Cr) was found to enhance the antiwear performance. This research revealed that V2O5 nanoparticles could be an effective additive to improve tribological performance.

The effects of friction load and ultrasonic vibration on friction reduction and anti-wear properties of Al2O3/Al2O3 ceramic frictional pairs under oil lubrication were investigated by a modified MFT-R4000 reciprocating friction and wear tester. The mechanism of friction reduction and anti-wear under ultrasonic vibration was discussed. The results showed that, the ultrasonic vibration could influence the friction reduction and anti-wear properties of Al2O3/Al2O3 ceramic friction pairs due to it could reduce the stress between the friction pairs and destroy the oil film on the surface of samples. When the friction frequency was 2Hz, the ultrasonic vibration could reduce the friction coefficient within experiment load range. When the loads were 70N, 80N, 90N and 100N, the average friction coefficient were reduced by 16.1%, 14.5%, 9.7% and 2.6%,and wear volume of frictional pairs decreased 35%、32%、31% and 12%.

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 effects of friction speed and ultrasonic vibration on friction reduction and anti-wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs under oil lubrication were investigated by a modified MFT-R4000 reciprocating friction and wear tester. The mechanism of friction reduction and anti-wear under ultrasonic vibration was discussed. The results showed that, the ultrasonic vibration could influence the friction reduction and anti-wear properties of frictional pairs due to it could reduce the stress between the friction pairs and destroy the oil film on the surface of samples. When the friction frequency was 2Hz,ultrasonic vibration would reduce the friction coefficient and wear volume of the frictional pairs. When the load was 40N, the friction coefficient and wear volume of the frictional pairs attained under ultrasonic vibration decreased 8% and 44% respectively. However, ultrasonic vibration would increase the friction coefficient and wear volume when the friction frequency was 5Hz. When the load was 30N, friction coefficient and wear volume of frictional pairs increased 11% and 74% than that without ultrasonic vibration respectively.
