The CO2 is investigated as an alternative refrigerant to replace HFC refrigerant in air conditioning systems due to the environmental concerns. Because new compressors with CO2 are going to be operated under the high pressure, the tribology of sliding surfaces in the compressor becomes very important. To develop new compressor, especially rotary type, the friction and wear characteristics of sliding surfaces between a vane and a roller in the rotary compressor were evaluated in this paper. Several hard coatings, such as TiN, CrN, WC/C and two types of nitridings, were applied on vane surfaces in order to improve the tribological characteristics, and their performances were evaluated experimentally. Two types of lubricants were used, namely POE (polyol ester) oil and PAG (polyalkylene glycol) oil. The vane-on-disk type sliding tests were performed with an exclusive high pressure wear tester. From the tests, coefficient of friction and wear volume of vane surfaces applied various coatings were compared. Test results showed that WC/C coatings showed good tribological properties. TiN and CrN coated vanes showed good wear resistance properties but produced high friction. Also, the results of the sliding tests showed that using PAG oil has an advantage over POE oil in CO2 environment.

The tribology of lubricated sliding vanes in the rotary compressor was investigated to replace the HFC refrigerants by the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a natural refrigerant and very favorable to environment. Because new compressors with the carbon dioxide are going to be operated under the high pressure, the tribology of sliding surfaces in the compressor becomes very important. To develop new compressors, especially rotary type, the friction and wear characteristics of sliding surfaces between a vane and a roller in the rotary compressor were evaluated in this paper.

Due to the environmental concerns, especially the greenhouse effect and GWP (Global Warming Potential), the carbon dioxide was investigated as an alternative natural refrigerant to replace HFCs (HydroFluoroCarbons) in refrigerator or air conditioning systems. To develop new compressor, especially rotary type, the friction and wear characteristics of sliding surfaces between vane and flange in the rotary compressor were evaluated in this paper. Several hard coatings, such as TiN, CrN and WC/C, were applied on vane surfaces in order to improve the tribological characteristics, and their performances were evaluated experimentally. The vane-on-flange type lubricated sliding tests were performed with a high pressure wear tester using HFC (R410A) and carbon dioxide. From the tests, wear volumes of vane surfaces applied with various coatings were compared each other.

This paper deals with the behavior of high-pressure unbonded flexible steel pipes which can be used as risers in offshore applications. It concerns primarily the behavior of the internal structure of the pipe. A theoretical approach allows to establish simple formulas for evaluating: the stresses, and the contact pressures between layers due to axisymmetrical loads; the stresses due to bending; the relative slip between layers due to bending. This is a first step towards the evaluation of the life expectancy of flexible pipes. It must be completed by the determination of friction and wear factors through test results.

The article presents the results of tribological research into engineering polymers (POM, PEEK, PPS) cooperating in sliding motion with 316L steel and EN AW-2017A aluminium alloy in the presence of a liquid (water, hydraulic oil HLP68). This type of friction pair may occur in hydraulic systems (gear pumps, valves, etc.). For comparison, additionally, the results of tribological research carried out in dry friction conditions have been shown. In addition, the results of microscopic study of the sliding surfaces of polymeric materials have been presented. Analysis of the test results allows one to describe the processes of friction and wear of the studied sliding pairs.

A serials of experiments were carried on the pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. The friction and wear behaviors of on four materials couple with electric current were studied on in different conditions. The result indicates that properties of materials couple have a significant influence on the test results. The friction coefficient is the highest in process of the copper-impregnated metallized carbon rubbing against pure copper couple, and its wear volume of carbon strip material is also the largest. However, the friction and wear volume of copper-impregnated metallized carbon/stainless steel and pure carbon/pure copper couples are lower. Therefore, both friction couples are appropriate for pantograph strip/contact wire couple.

Abstract In this study, four kinds of nanoparticles: graphite, WS2, Fe3O4 and TiN were used as lubricating additives for steel/copper friction pairs to solve the problem of welding contact tube wear with non-copper-coated solid wire at high temperature. The single and composite nanoparticles have excellent dispersion stability in absolute ethanol under the action of the compound surfactant NaSTA+OA+PVP. The tribological test results showed that the maximum decrement with reference to the average coefficient of friction and wear volumes were measured with nanoparticle concentration in 1:1:1 ratio at 300℃. Compared with dry friction, the average friction coefficient and wear volume are reduced by 74.3% and 84.8%, respectively, which may be attributed to the formation of a stable tribo-film mainly composed of C-O, Fe2O3, WO3, TiO2, TiNxOy composite on the worn surface. Therefore, it is considered that the combined lubrication effects of the ball-bearing effect, repairing of worn surfaces and the tribo-film resulted in the lowest friction and wear.

A series of cooperative interlaboratory tests (RR, round robins) was conducted annuallly from 1997 to 2005 by the DIN 51834 Working Group on Tribological Tests using a Translatory Oscillation Apparatus (SRV™®) in cooperation with ASTM D02. The statistical analysis of these test results shows the influence of cleaning solvent and seizure criteria on the tribological properties regarding O.K.-load of the lubricants tested. Coefficients of friction and wear results are ranked according to the effects of ten different cleaning solvents, where isopropanol gave the lowest values and isoparaffin solvents the highest. The wear volume is more descriptive than the wear scar diameter. The effect of machine model on coefficients of friction varied from about 0.2% to 0.9% of mean. Wear results were not affected. The load step interval of 1, 3 or 6 minutes influences the pass load of solid bonded films.
