The Coefficient Of Friction

Some tribological properties of an ionic liquid were investigated by using a pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. Due to running-in, the coefficient of friction of the ionic liquid decreased with time to a very low value of 0.02 which suggests that the lubrication regime was hydrodynamic at the end of the tests. Anti-wear performance of the ionic liquid was substantially comparable to a paraffin-based oil.

The Coefficient Of Friction

For the polymeric materials, changing of the temperature causes changes in mechanical and tribological properties of sliding pairs. The goal of the present study was to determine the change in Young's modulus and kinetic friction coefficient depending of the temperature. Three thermoplastic polymers, PA6, PET and PEEK, were tested. These materials cooperated in sliding motion with a C45 construction steel disc. As part of the experiment, the Young's modulus tests (by 3-point bending method) and kinetic friction coefficient studies (using pin-on-disc stand) were carried out. The temperature range of mechanical and tribological tests was determined at T = –50°C±20°C. Comparing the results of mechanical and tribological properties, there is a tendency to decrease the coefficient of friction as the Young's modulus increases while reducing the working temperature.

Glass filled nylon composites (GFN) and hybrid graphene oxide reinforced glass filled Nylon nanocomposites (GO-GFN) are prepared by blending the required base materials in injection molding machine at processing temperature of 275°C. The specimens prepared are subjected to various mechanical property tests to reveal their hardness, tensile strength and flexural strength. The wear discs of GFN and GO-GFN composites as per ASTM standard are injection molded to analyze the tribological properties using pin on disc tribometer. The pin used is EN 8 Tool steel. The Coefficient of friction for the GFN composites for the wear load of 10 N is 0.28. Addition of 0.003 wt% GO to the GFN system has decreased the coefficient of friction significantly to the value of 0.12. The decrease in C.O.F was correlated with the adhesion film formation in the pin surface. This work confirms the improvement in wear resistance of GO-GFN system which is attributed by the presence of graphene oxide only.

Just like MoS2, WS2 is known for its outstanding tribologic properties. When used as additives, both were found to considerably improve the tribologic behavior of epoxy, i.e., its coefficient of friction and wear resistance. The best improvements were obtained with WS2 or MoS2 nanoparticles, in particular if they had a fullerene-like morphology. Likewise, fullerene-like WS2 nanoparticles were shown to considerably enhance the fracture toughness of epoxy. It was thus hypothesized that the improved wear resistance could be due to the toughening effect rather than due to reduced friction. Our investigations showed that both flaky and fullerene-like WS2 nanoparticles can improve the fracture toughness of certain epoxy systems, while they can embrittle others. The beneficial effect on the epoxy’s wear resistance could not be confirmed either: The coefficient of friction and wear measured in pin-on-disc tests correlated insignificantly with the type or amount of nanoparticles used or the dispersion technique applied. The fact that the fracture toughness did not correlate with the measured wear suggests that the investigated epoxy system wears by adhesion rather than by abrasion. It is thus possible that tribologic additives like WS2 are unsuited for counteracting this wear mechanism. In a nutshell, both the toughening and the wear-reducing effect of flaky and fullerene-like WS2 nanoparticles seem to depend strongly on the particular epoxy system investigated.

The article discusses the results of tribological tests of epoxy and resol composites. There was examined the surface condition of samples of composites operating in sliding nodes. It has been found that it is possible to use cheaper resole resins for sliding composites (instead of Epidian 5). Tests that have been carried out showed that increasing the PTFE content in the composite resulted in lowering both the coefficient of friction and wear. X-ray analysis results con-firmed the occurrence of the selective transfer phenomenon

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.

The chapter discusses the tribological properties of samples with multilayer composite nanostructured Ti-TiN-(Ti,Cr,Al,Si)N, Zr-ZrN-(Nb,Zr,Cr,Al)N, and Zr-ZrN-(Zr,Al,Si)N coatings, as well as Ti-TiN-(Ti,Al,Cr)N, with different values of the nanolayer period λ. The relationship between tribological parameters, a temperature varying within a range of 20–1000°C, and λ was investigated. The studies have found that the adhesion component of the coefficient of friction (COF) varies nonlinearly with a pronounced extremum depending on temperature. The value of λ has a noticeable influence on the tribological properties of the coatings, and the nature of the mentioned influence depends on temperature. The tests found that for the coatings with all studied values of λ, an increase in temperature first caused an increase and then a decrease in COF.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Tribological properties of several kinds of polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were evaluated for the purpose of developing a polymeric tribomaterial especially suited for mating with aluminum parts having low surface hardness. POM composites containing small amounts of silicon carbide (SiC), POM/SiC; those containing a small amount of calcium octacosanonoate besides SiC, POM/SiC/Ca-OCA; and the one blended with 24 wt % of polytetrafluoroethylene, POM/PTFE(24); were injection-molded into pin specimens and their tribological properties were tested by means of a pin-on-disk type wear apparatus using an aluminum (A5056) mating disk in comparison with a 303 stainless steel (SUS303) disk. Evaluation was focused on observation of the sliding surfaces of the pin specimens and the mating disks by a scanning electron microscope and an optical microscope together with the measurement of surface roughness. In the case of mating against a SUS303 disk having high surface hardness, all pin specimens did not roughen the disk surfaces even after long time of rubbing. Only POM/PTFE(24) composite obviously made a transfer film on the disk surface, while the other composites made an extremely thin one on it. POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, containing SiC 0.1 wt. % and Ca-OCA 1 wt. %, was found to show the lowest coefficient of friction and the lowest wear rate forming extremely thin transfer film on the mating disk. On the other hand, against an A5056 disk which has lower surface hardness than that of SUS303 disk, unfilled POM and POM composites except POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite roughened the disk surfaces. However, the sliding surface of the A5056 disk rubbed with POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite was significantly smoother and that of the pin specimen was also quite smooth in comparison with other pin specimens. Further, when each POM composite was rubbed against the A5056 disk, formation of transfer film was not obvious on the disk surfaces. For POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, the wear rate was the lowest of all POM composites, and the coefficient of friction was as low level as 60 percent of that of unfilled POM, but slightly higher than that of POM/PTFE(24) composite. For POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, the nucleating effect of SiC and Ca-OCA, which accelerated the crystallization of POM during its injection molding to form a matrix containing fine spherulites, must have resulted in increasing the toughness of the matrix and lowering the wear rate. Also, the lubricant effect of Ca-OCA should have lowered the coefficient of friction of the same matrix for rubbing against aluminum mating disk. POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite was concluded as an excellent tribomaterial for mating with aluminum parts.

Abstract A kind of carbon fabric/epoxy composite was successfully prepared with carbon fiber fabric as reinforced phase and epoxy resin as binder phase, then the nano-TiO2 and a hybrid system of TiO2/MWNTs was added into the carbon fabric/ epoxy composite matrix respectively to prepare a kind of nano-composite. The friction and wear properties of CF/EP composites under different load conditions have been studied in this article, during the study the effects of filler types and contents on the tribological properties were researched, at last the worn surfaces were investigated and the abrasion mechanism was discussed. The results showed that: whether filling the nano-TiO2 alone or mixing the TiO2/MWNTs, it was able to achieve a good effect on decreasing friction and reducing wear, and the optimum addition ratio of the nano-TiO2 particles was 3.0% , meanwhile 3.0% of nano-TiO2 and 0.4% of MWNTs could cooperate with each other in their dimension, and could show a synergistic effect on modifying the tribological properties of CF/EP composites, the coefficient of friction of the modified composites decreased by 20% and the wear life increased by more than 140% compared with that of pristine composite materials, in the process of friction and wear, the wear form of the composites materials varied from brittle rupture to abrasive wear gradually.

The effect of various operational factors, such as sliding speed, normal load and temperature on the tribological properties of Date palm fruit syrup (DPFS) as an environmentally friendly lubricant, is investigated. Ball-on-disc wear tests are conducted on mild steel samples in the presence of DPFS as a lubricant under different conditions and the coefficient of friction and wear rate are measured. Scanning electron microscopy, stylus profilometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to evaluate the wear tracks to determine the underlying wear mechanisms. Results showed that DPFS has excellent tribological properties in terms of low friction and low wear rates making it a potential candidate to be used as a lubricant in tribological applications.

As the industrial community moves towards green manufacturing processes, there is an increased demand for multi-functional, environmentally friendly lubricants with enhanced tribological performance. In the present investigation, green (environmentally benign) lubricant combinations were prepared by homogeneously mixing nano- (20 nm), sub-micrometre- (600 nm average size) and micrometre-scale (4 μm average size) boric acid powder additives with canola oil in a vortex generator. As a basis for comparison, lubricants of base canola oil and canola oil mixed with MoS 2 powder (ranging from 0.5 to 10 μm) were also prepared. Friction and wear experiments were carried out on the prepared lubricants using a pin-on-disc apparatus under ambient conditions. Based on the experiments, the nanoscale (20 nm) particle boric acid additive lubricants significantly outperformed all of the other lubricants with respect to frictional and wear performance. In fact, the nanoscale boric acid powder-based lubricants exhibited a wear rate more than an order of magnitude lower than the MoS 2 and larger sized boric acid additive-based lubricants. It was also discovered that the oil mixed with a combination of sub-micrometre- and micrometre-scale boric acid powder additives exhibited better friction and wear performance than the canola oil mixed with sub-micrometre- or micrometre-scale boric acid additives alone.
