This study describes a facile synthesis of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) monodispersed fine particles from an abundant indigenous and economical source (quicklime) and its enhanced tribological performance as a green additive in commercial lithium grease (CLG). The effects of various experimental parameters on particle morphology were thoroughly examined, and the conditions were optimized. The synthesized uniform particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and thermogravimetric (TG) /differential thermal analysis (DTA), and their results confirmed the calcite structure of the synthesized particles. The friction and wear studies were carried out under the applied load of 0.863 N at an ambient temperature for 5 min. The tribological performance of various amounts (1–7%) of cubic-CaCO3 (CCC) particles in CLG showed that 5 wt. % of CCC was the optimum concentration as additive in the present case. For comparison purposes, a commercial CaCO3 powder was used and a decrease in the friction coefficient of CLG was observed to be 33.4% and 16.4% for 5 wt. % CCC and commercial CaCO3 additives, respectively. The significantly enhanced antiwear and antifriction performance of the optimum CCC-CLG in comparison with the blank and commercial CaCO3-additized CLG was quite encouraging, and extensive studies in a real machine-operating environment are in progress for evaluation of the CCC-CLG blend to be used as an economical, green, and high-performance lubricant in mechanical components.

In this work, an experiment was carried out to investigate the preparation condition of anisotropic, Fe-deficient, M-type Sr ferrite with optimum magnetic and physical properties by changing experimental parameters, such as the La substitution amount and little additive modification during fine milling process. The compositions of the calcined ferrites were chosen according to the stoichiometry LaxSr1-xFe12-2xO19, where M-type single-phase calcined powder was synthesized with a composition of x = 0.30. The effect of CaCO3, SiO2, and Co3O4 inter-additives on the Sr ferrite was also discussed in order to obtain low-temperature sintered magnets. The magnetic properties of Br = 4608 Gauss, bHc = 3650 Oe, iHc = 3765 Oe, and (BH)max = 5.23 MGOe were obtained for Sr ferrite hard magnets with low cobalt content at 1.7 wt%, which will eventually be used as high-end permanent magnets for the high-efficiency motor application in automobiles with Br > 4600 ± 50 G and iHc > 3600 ± 50 Oe.

Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate (phosphonium phosphate) ionic liquid is soluble in non-polar lubricants. It has been proposed as an effective anti-wear additive comparable to zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. Previously, phosphonium phosphate has shown a better anti-wear performance under some conditions such as high temperature. In this work, the tribological performance and the lubrication mechanism of phosphonium phosphate are compared with that of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate when lubricating silicon under various tribological conditions. This can lead to an understanding of the reasons behind the superior anti-wear performance of phosphonium phosphate under some conditions. A micro-scale study is conducted using a nanotribometer. The results show that both additives lead to a considerable reduction in both friction and wear coefficients. The reduction in the wear coefficient is mainly controlled by the formation of the tribofilm on the rubbing surfaces. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate can create a thicker tribofilm, which results in a better anti-wear performance. However, the formation of a thicker film will lead to a faster depletion and thus phosphonium phosphate can provide better anti-wear performance when the depletion of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate starts.

This paper deals with the study of diesel engine friction and wear. The friction and wear mechanism of diesel engine was studied and the wear factors of diesel engine friction and wear was analyzed. According to the diesel engine test bench, diesel engine experimental scheme of oil testing was designed during running-in stage. Studies have shown that wear particle morphology of diesel engine from ferrographic analysis can reflect the degree of wear and wear mechanism during running-in stage, wear particle changed during running-in stage. Ferrographic monitoring is an effective method for diesel engine friction and wear monitoring.
