This study investigates the influences of coating material properties and coating thickness on lubricant film thickness based on a point-contact isothermal EHL model developed recently by the authors. The results present the trend of minimum film thickness variation as a function of coating thickness and elastic modulus under a wide range of working conditions. Numerical results indicates that the increase in minimum film thickness, Imax, and the corresponding optimal dimensionless coating thickness, H2, can be expressed in the following formulas: Imax=0.766M0.0248R20.0296L0.1379exp(−0.0245ln2L)H2=0.049M0.4557R2−0.1722L0.7611exp(−0.0504ln2M−0.0921ln2L) These formulas can be used to estimate the effect of a coating on EHL film thickness.

This paper reports on the structural properties of poly(3-methylthiophene) P3MeT thin films prepared by vacuum evaporation on the glass substrates. The structural and surface morphology, wettability, adhesion, and intrinsic stress of these thin films were studied for three different thicknesses. The variation of the film thickness affects the structure, surface, and mechanical properties of P3MeT thin films. Vapor chopping also strongly influences the surface morphology, surface roughness, and wettability of the thin films. It was found that there is a decrease in the intrinsic stress and (RMS) roughness, while the adhesion increases with increase in film thickness.

This work aims to study the influence of the spraying parameters on the spray flow field and coating thickness distribution during the air spraying process. The shaping air pressure and the target geometry have an important influence on the distribution of coating film thickness. This paper begins with a 3-D physical model of an air spray gun, in which unstructured grids were generated for control domain. A grid independency study was also carried out to determine the optimal number of cells for the simulations. Then the Euler–Lagrange method was used to describe the two-phase spray flow by establishing a paint deposition model. The numerical simulation based on the discrete phase model (DPM) and TAB model has been carried out. A reasonable assumption was proposed based on the analysis of the spraying process, so that the droplets were injected into the airflow at the position of the paint hole. The influence of the shaping air pressure on the air flow field and the coating thickness distribution was analyzed by changing the shaping air pressure. From the numerical simulation results, it can be concluded that the smaller the shaping air pressure, the more concentrated the coating. With increasing the shaping air pressure, the length of the coating film along z-axis gradually increases, the width along x-axis gradually decreases, and the spray area gradually increases. The paper ends with a numerical simulation and experimental study on planar vertical spraying, planar tilted spraying, and cylinder spraying. Comparisons and experiment results verify the validity and practicability of the model built in this paper.
