Due to thermodynamically adverse effects of liquid-type lubricants on the operation of air conditioning and refrigeration compressors, oil-less compressors are of current research interest. Under such conditions, advanced tribologically coatings are needed for critical interacting surfaces to ensure reliable operation under oil-less conditions. In this paper, seven commercially available polymeric coatings (PTFE-, PEEK-, resin- and fluorocarbon-based coatings) coated on gray cast iron were tribologically evaluated through unlubricated oscillatory experiments simulating a realistic wrist pin interface in a piston-type compressor. The experiments were performed in the presence of the environmentally friendly (as far as minimal global warming potential is concerned) carbon dioxide refrigerant, simulating oil-less piston-type compressors. It was found that polymer-based coatings exhibited excellent tribological performance, and in general PTFE-based coatings performed better than PEEK-based coatings. Also, their friction and wear behavior is affected by additives, which polymeric coatings were blended with. Specifically, PTFE coatings blended with pyrrolidone showed relatively low friction coefficient, and coatings blended with MoS2 had higher wear resistance.

All the moving components in an internal combustion engine require a lubricant that allows smooth sliding and/or rolling of interacting surfaces. Lubricant not only minimizes the friction and wear but also dissipates the heat generated due to friction and removes debris from the area of contact. Environmental concerns, decreasing mineral oil reserves and difficult disposal of nonbiodegradable conventional lubricants have urged the researchers to shift towards environmental-friendly lubricants. Number of tribological studies carried out in the past have proved that ionic liquid-based bio-lubricants are sustainable and biodegradable alternative to mineral oils. This paper presents a brief review of properties of ionic liquids and their ability to reduce friction and wear between the interacting surfaces. Tribological performance and compatibility of ionic liquids with various base-oils have been compared under boundary lubrication. The results reveal that phosphonium-based ionic liquids namely tetra-decyl tri-hexyl phosphonium bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinate (P66614)i(C8)2PO2 and tri-hexyl tetra-decyl phosphonium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P-DEHP) are more suitable for tribological applications. Since, ionic liquids can be tailored according to the application and millions of combinations are possible therefore, there is a need to summarize the published data in a more systematic and logical way.

The progressing cavity pump (PCP) always works in the waxy oil well. Therefore the research on the influence of various liquid paraffin contents in crude oil on the friction and wear behaviors of the progressing cavity pump`s stator is very important for choosing the best stator rubber and developing the service life of PCP. Wear behavior of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and fluororubber (FKM) was investigated at room temperature using a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine under the various paraffin contents in crude oil (0%、10%、30%、50%、100%). The wear morphology of blend was analyzed through the stereomicroscope and the wear behavior of two blends was also discussed and compared. The results show that the wear resistance of FKM is better than that of NBR under the same paraffin content in crude oil; With the increase of the paraffin content, the wear and coefficient of friction also increase. When the paraffin content in crude oil is less than 30%, the wear loss of NBR and FKM are basically the same; When the paraffin content in crude oil is more than 30%, the wear loss of NBR is far more than that of FKM.

AbstractIn this study, the influence of micro- and nanofiller contents on the tribological performance of epoxy composites was studied. The fillers are micro-Al2O3, micro-TiO2, and micro-fly ash and nano-Al2O3, nano-TiO2, and nanoclay fillers. The microfillers were added to the epoxy by 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight. The nanofillers were added to the epoxy by 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. Friction and wear tests were conducted using the pin-on-disc arrangement. Tribo elements consisted of polymer pin and DIN 1.2344 steel counterface disc. A load value of 15 N, a sliding speed of 0.4 m/s, a sliding distance of 2000 m, and dry atmospheric conditions were applied to test conditions. The results show that the friction coefficients and the specific wear rates of the nanofilled composites increase as the filler content increases. For microfiller-filled epoxy composites, these values decrease as filler content increases. The tribological performance of epoxy composites is enhanced by the addition of microfillers, and the higher enhancement is reached with the addition of 30% fly ash filler. Finally, the pin and disc worn surface images show the presence of adhesive and some abrasive wear mechanisms.

The tribological performance of Polyetherimide (PEI) composites filled with different Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content was comparatively evaluated on MM-200 test rig in block-on-ring configuration under dry friction condition. The microstructures of worn surfaces, fractured surfaces and wear mechanisms of the PEI composite were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). The variations of elastic modulus and surface hardness with variation in composition were also investigated. The results showed that under conditions of dry friction the PTFE can lower the friction coefficient and reduce wear of the PEI composites. When filled with 10 wt. % PTFE, the composite had the lowest wear rate. For PEI filled with 5wt. % PTFE the friction coefficient was about 0.3 and remained comparatively stable with increase of the PTFE content.

The effects of TiN addition to Si3N4 on its mechanical and wear properties were investigated. The size and content of TiN particles were found having effects on the strength and toughness of Si3N4-based composites. The friction and wear behavior of Si3N4 based composites against AISI-52100 steel were investigated in the ball -on- disc mode in a non-lubrication reciprocation motion. It has been found that under the conditions used all the ceramic components exhibited rather low friction and wear coefficients. For monolithic silicon nitride materials, high friction coefficients between 0.6 and 0.7 and wear coefficients between 1.63 × 10-8 and 1.389 × 10-6 mm3/N.m were measured. The contact load was varied from 100 to 300 N. By adding titanium nitride, the friction coefficients was reduced to a value between 0.4 and 0.5 and wear coefficients between 1.09×10-8 and 0.32×10-6 mm3/N.m at room temperature.

The Face

The piston pin contact in a typical automotive engine is an example of a highly loaded. Therefore, for piston pin design several aspects are important. Among them are function, cost, NVH, fuel economy, durability, and impact on other design aspects of the engine. Continuously contacting with piston pin, the face of connecting rod, brings about abnormal wear such as unfairwear or earlywear. because the engine get more powered and one requirement for a good fuel economy is to achieve a low level of mechanical friction. In this study, modern low friction coatings and treatment at the piston pin interface aimed to investigate the potential. The profile of coated specimens were observed by non-contact type optical surface measuring system and the friction-wear behaviors of coated specimens were investigated by using piston pin wear tester. Piston pin wear test was performed to analyze the friction and wear behavior. The results showed that the application of low friction coatings and treatment effectively improved tribological performance of the piston pin

The Impact

Proper lubrication and surface modification are key factors to improve the tribological behavior of interacting sliding surfaces under lubricated conditions. Surface texturing of interacting surfaces has found to be an emerging technique that modifies the surfaces deterministically by producing surface features in the form of surface asperities or grooves with specific shape, size and distribution. The present paper address the impact of positive surface textures (protrusions) and number of positive textures in the sliding direction on friction and wear behavior of parallel sliding contacts. The square shaped positive surface textures are created on the specimen by ink-jet followed by chemical etching process. The sliding experiments are conducted on pin on disc friction and wear test rig by providing different sliding conditions such as plain dry, plain with lubricant and textures with lubricant between the interacting surfaces. The results indicated that the textures with lubricated condition exhibit lower friction and wear compared to other two conditions. Furthermore, it is reported that among the tested samples, the textured sample with number of textures three in sliding direction has shown a prominent effect in reducing friction and wear of parallel sliding contact.

Octadecylphosphonic Acid

The sliding wear behavior of Cu–O coated steel disks functionalized with n-octadecyl-phosphonic acids was evaluated against aluminum in ball-on-disk tribometer experiments. After 5 m of sliding the friction coefficient of the functionalized sample with maximum molecular coverage is ≤0.3 ± 0.1. Surfaces with lower coverage mitigate friction and wear as well exhibiting initially similar low friction coefficients but reveal the breakdown of lubrication for sliding distances <5 m. The length of the low friction sliding distance before breakdown scales with the coverage of n-octadecylphosphonic acids on the Cu–O surface. Coverage hence determines the tribological behavior of the functionalized surface against sliding aluminum. As the coverage is increased, detrimental asperity contacts between the rubbing surfaces are reduced.
