Experimental Study of Lubricating Property at Grinding Wheel/Workpiece Interface Under NMQL Grinding

Nanofluid is the suspension formed by lubricating oil and nanoparticles with particles sizes of 1~100 nm, and common nanoparticles include metal nanoparticles (Cu, Ag, etc.), oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2, etc.), carbides (CNT, diamond), and MoS2 nanoparticles, etc. Different nanoparticles exhibit various physicochemical properties (e.g., structure and shape), which can influence their tribological characteristics. In this work, six nanofluids, namely, MoS2, SiO2, diamond, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), Al2O3, and ZrO2, were used as minimum quantity lubrication grinding fluids to select the kind of nanoparticles with optimum lubrication performance in grinding nickel alloy GH4169. Experimental results concluded the following: 1) Nanoparticles with spherical or sphere-like molecular structure and nanofluids with high viscosity demonstrate superior lubrication performances. 2) The polishing effect of nanodiamond particles enhances their surface morphology. 3) The lubricating property of the six nanofluids is described in the following order: ZrO2 < CNTs < ND < MoS2 < SiO2 < Al2O3.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) beneficial tribological properties were reported in numerous studies performed mostly in idealized tribometer conditions, previously described full engine tests confirmed that CNTs added to the lubricating oil reduced friction significantly. Apparently the engine application requires low CNT concentration in oil, otherwise when increasing the CNT concentration beyond a certain level oil viscosity increases, rapidly forming a greasy substance not suitable for engine lubrication. In this paper we report a study of tribological properties of such a high viscosity lubricant performed in Amsler tribometer in comparison to high quality commercially available lithium grease. The CNT based high viscosity lubricant in its current formulation turned out as not reliable for general application due to its low adhesion to the metal surface. In contrary to some samples made of a polymer widely used in industry as a friction component, we observed wear reduction reaching nearly 50% when replacing the best suitable lithium grease by a CNT based lubricant. This effect was first observed after 30 min into a friction test, suggesting a CNT related mechanism of anti-wear protection which still need to be explained.

This paper reports a case of lubricating property test of bearing. In order to seize the performance and the reasonable work condition of Ф480mm elliptical bearing with groove on all pads for 1000MW steam turbine, an experimental method that load is on the rotor was adopted in this paper. And the test focused on the bearing characteristics which is most concerned by designers such as power loses, temperature, flow, and flow state, etc. The influence on power loses, temperature rise, flow by the temperature and pressure of inlet oil, load, speed was studied in this test. The results show that the flow state in this bearing is changed from laminar to turbulent in the speed range 2000rpm~2200rpm and in the Reynolds number range 1325.8~1556.5. The specific pressure for the bearing with groove on the down pad is proper between 1.57MPa and 1.96MPa.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek dari penambahan minyak kelapa dan sawit terhadap sifat fisik dan tribologi pelumas SAE 40. Vegetabel oil, seperti; minyak kelapa dan sawit, memiliki nilai viskositas indek yang tinggi dan sifat pelumasan yang baik terutama didaerah boundary lubrication jika dibandingkan dengan mineral oil (SAE 40). Hal ini disebabkan karena vegetabel oil memiliki kandungan fatty acids yang tidak dimiliki oleh mineral oil. Keunggulan lain dari minyak kelapa dan sawit adanya sifat yang ramah lingkungan karena mudah terurai di alam dan dapat diperbaharui. Pada penelitian ini sifat yang baik dari minyak kelapa dan sawit ini akan dimanfaatkan sebagai zat aditif pada minyak pelumas SAE 40. Pengujian dilakukan terhadap sifat fisik dan tribology dengan penambahan 5%, 10%, 15%, dan 20% berat dari minyak kelapa dan sawit ke dalam minyak pelumas SAE 40. Pengujian sifat fisik terdiri dari pengukuran viskositas pada temperatur 400C dan 1000C dan viskositas index. Pengujian sifat tribologi untuk menentukan keausan dan koefisien gesek berdasarkan ASTM G99 dengan menggunakan alat uji pin on disk. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh bahwa dengan penambahan minyak kelapa dan sawit kedalam minyak pelumas SAE 40 terjadi peningkatan viskositas indeks. Peningkatan viskositas indeks sebanyak  17% dengan penambahan 20% minyak sawit. Terjadi perubahan sifat tribologi dengan penambahan minyak sawit, berupa penurunan keausan dan nilai koefisien gesek dibandingkan dengan penambahan minyak kelapa. This study aims to determine the effect of coconut and palm oils as additives to physical and tribological properties of SAE 40 lubricating oil . Vegetable oils, such as; coconut oil and palm oil, have high viscosity index and good lubrication properties, especially in boundary lubrication compared to mineral oil. This is due to vegetable oil having fatty acids that are not owned by mineral oil. The advantages of coconut oil and palm oil are environmentally friendly properties because they are biodegradable and renewable. In this study, the good properties of coconut and palm oils will be used as additives in SAE 40 lubricating oil. Tests are carried out on the physical and tribological properties with the addition of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight of coconut and palm oils into SAE 40 lubricating oil. Physical properties testing consists of measuring viscosity at temperatures of 400C and 1000C and viscosity index. The tribological test is to determine wear and coefficient of friction based on ASTM G99 using a pin on disc test equipment. From the test results,  it was found that coconut and palm oils as additives into SAE 40 lubricating oil could increase in viscosity index. The increase of  the viscosity index was 17% by adding 20% of palm oil. There was a change of tribological properties in the form of decreasing on the wear and the coefficient of friction with the addition of palm oil compare to addition of coconut oil.

Metal oxide nanoparticles supported on heteroatom-doped graphitic surfaces have been pursued for several decades for a wide spectrum of applications. Despite extensive research on functional metal oxide nanoparticle/doped carbon nanomaterial hybrids, the role of the heteroatom dopant in the hybridization process of doped carbon nanomaterials has been overlooked. Here, the direct growth of MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles in nitrogen (N)-doped sites of carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) is presented. The quaternary nitrogen (NQ) sites of CNTs actively participate in the nucleation and growth of the metal nanoparticles. The evenly distributed NQ nucleation sites mediate the generation of uniformly dispersed <10 nm diameter MnOx and RuOx nanoparticles, directly decorated on NCNT surfaces. The electrochemical performance of the resultant hybridized materials was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. This novel hybridization method using the dopant-mediated nucleation and growth of metal oxides suggests ways that heteroatom dopants can be utilized to optimize the structure, interface and corresponding properties of graphitic carbon-based hybrid materials.
