AbstractThe contribution describes concrete example of application of tribotechnical methods for the determination of the bearing wear state in aircraft turboshaft engines. Tribotechnical methods, which will be mentioned, deal with qualitative and quantitative characterization of particles occurred in oil. Here belong method optical emission spectrometry method with rotating disc electrode for determination of chemical elements concentration in oil. Method of optical particles counting for detection of particles distribution according to their scale, determination of their number and ferrographic analysis. Exploitation of these methods make it possible to determine quickly and correctly the friction regime and wearing of friction pair that is washed by oil in observed engines.

The presence of water in the engine lubrication system is supposed to be a significant factor, which causes engine corrosion. Atomic spectrometry method and method for water content determination were applied for the detection of corrosion. Rotating disc electrode optical emission spectrometry (RD OES) is a method used to determine the concentration of 21 chemical elements in used lubricating oil in 30 seconds. In the used oil the concentration of Fe, Cu and Sn was monitored because these elements are indicators of bearing wear. The elements were analyzed using Conostan S-21 organo metallic calibration standards. The precision of the method was verified by calculating RSD for n = 3, the values of which are for Fe, Cu and Sn less than 7 %. Accuracy of measurement was verified by measuring standard reference material NIST 1084a. Karl Fischer volumetric method was used for the determination of water content in used lubricating oils with precision less than 1 %. The obtained reference material 34849 HYDRANAL-Water Standard 10.0, which is traceable to NIST SRM 2890 for determination of water content by Karl Fischer method, was analyzed for accuracy purposes.

The article deals with the assessment of lubricants properties, monitoring of behaviour and consequences of the lubricant degradation process during its work in the machine lubrication system of aircraft engine by using tribotechnical diagnosis. To be used four methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of large particles, which were found in oil during operation. Concentration of elements was determined by optical emission spectrometry with rotating disc electrode (RD OES) application, categorization of particles by dimension and quantity was performed by method of optical shading. By used of ferrographic analysis was studied morphology of wear particles and physic-chemical properties of oil were determined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR).

AbstractQualitative and quantitative analysis of surface species on size-segregated atmospheric particulate collected in Antarctica during the 2010–11 summer was performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This represents the first example of surface characterization of Antarctic aerosols. The size class with particle cut-off diameter of 3 μm was richest in terms of chemical elements. Peculiar findings of the application included detection of Ca (possibly surface-segregated) and surface enrichment of Mg. The determination of nitrate, ammonium and sulphate species on collection filters provides evidence for a possible advantage of XPS over more laborious techniques (e.g. ion chromatography). The presence of these species is in reasonable agreement with other recent reports from Antarctica.
