Проведены исследования по повышению износостойкости трущихся деталей подшипника качения за счет использования металлоплакирующих нанотехнологий в процессе обкатки и эксплуатации. Приведены результаты лабораторных триботехнических испытаний подшипниковых материалов в режиме металлоплакирования. Показан механизм образования защитной пленки на стальной поверхности деталей подшипника качения. Экспериментальным путем подтверждена возможность увеличения ресурса подшипников качения в процессе эксплуатации. Studies have been carried out to increase the wear resistance of the friction parts of the rolling bearing due to the use of metal-coating nanotechnologies in the process of running-in and operation. The results of laboratory tribotechnical tests of bearing materials in the metal plating mode are presented. The mechanism of formation of a protective film on the steel surface of rolling bearing parts is shown. The possibility of increasing the service life of rolling bearings during operation has been experimentally confirmed.

In the paper a new kind of rolling-sliding blend bearing has been studied. In order to comparing the new bearings and rolling bearings in the carrying capacity and service life, the stresses on the inner ring, the outer ring and the roller of rolling bearing and rolling-sliding blend bearing are analyzed by establishing the finite element model and solving it with finite element analysis software. The results show that the width of the stress concentration area on the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is 25 per cent narrower than that of rolling bearing and the depth of the largest stress on the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is 25 per cent shallower than that of rolling bearing and the largest stress on the middle and the end of the outer ring and the roller and the inner ring of rolling-sliding blend bearing is much smaller than that of rolling bearing. In the same case rolling-sliding blend bearings have greater carrying capacity and longer service life than rolling bearings.

Rolling bearing dynamics model, based on classical differential equations of motion of bearing elements coupled with thermal interactions, is presented. While churning and drag effects are based on classical laminar and turbulent flow theories, independently measured lubricant rheology, including shear dependence of viscosity, is used to model lubricant traction. The energy equation is integrated through the lubricant film to first compute Newtonian traction with thermal effects. Viscosity dependence on shear stress is then applied to model “shear-thinning” effects. At very high contact pressure and very low slide-to-roll ratios material creep effects, where the behavior of lubricated and dry contacts is similar, are implemented, while a shear stress limit is applied at very high slide-to-roll ratios. Traction predictions for a typical contact in a traction rig show good agreement with experimental traction data. Transient heat generations are time-averaged over thermal time step to compute time-varying temperature fields in the bearing, which alter properties of bearing materials, operating bearing geometry, and rheology of the lubricant. As the transient solutions converge to stable operating temperatures, bearing heat generation approaches the expected steady-state value. Heat generation predictions for both ball and rolling bearings are in good agreement with measured experimental data.

The paper presents an alternative approach to metrological support and assessment of the technical condition of rolling bearings in operation. The analysis of existing approaches, including methods of vibration diagnostics, envelope analysis, wavelet analysis, etc. Considers the possibility of applying a phase-chronometric method for support on the basis of neurodiagnostics bearing life cycle on the basis of the unified format of measurement information. The possibility of diagnosing a rolling bearing when analyzing measurement information from the shaft and separator was evaluated.

Potential relations of tribological characteristics of aluminum antifriction alloys with their compositions and mechanical properties were investigated. In this regard, the properties of eight aluminum alloys containing tin from 5.4% to 11% doped with lead, copper, silicon, zinc, magnesium, and titanium were studied. Mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, relative extension, and impact strength were analyzed. Within the tribological tests seizure load and wear of material were evaluated and secondary structures were studied afterwards. The absence of a definitive correlation between tribological behavior and mechanical properties was shown. It was determined that doping tin over 6% is excessive. The seizure load of the alloys increases with the magnesium content. Secondary structures of the alloys with higher wear rates contain one order less magnesium and tin.

A recently proposed fatigue life model for rolling bearings has been applied to the study of lifetime reduction under conditions conducive to microspalling. The presence of a spike in the EHD pressure distribution produces large shear stresses localized very close to the surface which may account for early failure. This paper describes a parametric study of the effect of such spikes. Accurate stress fields in the volume are calculated for simulated pressure spikes of different height, width and position relative to a Hertzian pressure distribution, as well as for different lubricant traction coefficients and film thicknesses. Despite the high stress concentrations in the surface layers, reductions in life predicted by the model are modest. Typically, the pressure spike may halve the life, with the implication that subsurface fatigue still dominates. In corroboration of this prediction, preliminary experimental work designed to reproduce microspalling conditions shows that microindents due to overrolling particles are a much more common form of surface damage than microspalling.

Rolling bearings are usually considered to be non-repaired items the reliability of which is characterized by mean time to failure, or so called basic rating life. Reliability describes these parameters well in case the bearings are used in operation up to the very time the failure occurs, or during the time corresponding with basic rating life. In case of railway applications the bearings are often used in large groups and are preventively replaced after much shorter operating time as compared with their basic rating life. In the article there is a model which enables us to describe the bearings reliability in this specific case and to specify a number of failures which might be expected from a group of bearings during operating time, or to determine mean operating time between failures of bearings.
