FeS solid lubrication duplex layer was prepared on the surface of 45 steel by ion nitrocarburizing-ion sulphurizing process. The sulphide grains in micron and nano scale and holes distributing equably on the duplex layer. The n-Al2O3 particles in liquid paraffin oil were set into the holes in micron and nano scale of the duplex layer by using vacuum dipping process to prepare the n-Al2O3/FeS solid lubrication duplex layer. Friction and wear performances of the n-Al2O3/FeS solid lubrication duplex layer were investigated to be excellent under different loads and temperatures. The causes are as follows: the solid lubrication function of FeS solid lubrication duplex layer, the “micron nano bearing” function of the nanoparticles embedded in the micron nano pores of FeS solid lubrication duplex layer, and oil lubrication are integrated by nanoparticles/FeS solid lubrication duplex layer and exert synergic lubrication function under high temperature and over loading condition. so the coefficients of friction and volume loss of the n-Al2O3/FeS solid lubrication duplex layer under load 60N and temperature 150°C are 10% and 31.3% lower than those of the FeS solid lubrication duplex layer lubricated by the n-Al2O3 additive, respectively.

The effects of friction load and ultrasonic vibration on friction reduction and anti-wear properties of Al2O3/Al2O3 ceramic frictional pairs under oil lubrication were investigated by a modified MFT-R4000 reciprocating friction and wear tester. The mechanism of friction reduction and anti-wear under ultrasonic vibration was discussed. The results showed that, the ultrasonic vibration could influence the friction reduction and anti-wear properties of Al2O3/Al2O3 ceramic friction pairs due to it could reduce the stress between the friction pairs and destroy the oil film on the surface of samples. When the friction frequency was 2Hz, the ultrasonic vibration could reduce the friction coefficient within experiment load range. When the loads were 70N, 80N, 90N and 100N, the average friction coefficient were reduced by 16.1%, 14.5%, 9.7% and 2.6%,and wear volume of frictional pairs decreased 35%、32%、31% and 12%.

This project investigated the tribological properties and nanomechanics of Cu-benzotriazole (BTA) composite nanooils. Cu-BTA nanoparticles were synthesized by a thermal decomposition process. Cu-BTA nanoparticles were added into paraffin oil to form the nanooils. Cu-BTA explores the nanomechanics of sphere geometry functions as a rolling medium for friction lower. BTA nanoparticles functions as a protector from oxidation of the Cu nanoparticles in various test circumstances. Tribological experiments were conducted using a pin-on-disk (ASTM G99) test for the wear scar diameter, friction coefficient, and morphology of worn surfaces. The experiment results revealed the dispersion capability of the benzotriazole-capped Cu nanoparticles and indicated the dispersing stability in liquid paraffin oil for the BTA-capped surface of Cu nanoparticles. The testing results show that the Cu-BTA nanoparticle used as an additive in paraffin oil at an appropriate concentration exhibits better tribological properties than those of pure paraffin oil. Cu-BTA functioning as an additives have different anti-wear abilities due to its small size effect and a high absolute viscosity given high Herser number, corresponds to relatively thick lubricant film and an larged elastohydrodynamic lubrication area. A thin film or powder consisting of spherical Cu-BTA nanoparticles on pin-on-disk (ASTM G99) test iron surface protests against damage from relative rolling movement, which reduces friction and wear.

Ultrasonic vibration friction and wear experiments were carried out by MFT-R4000 reciprocating friction and wear tester bonded with ultrasonic device. The surface morphologies of wear scars were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The influences of ultrasonic vibration on friction reduction and anti-wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs under different loads were discussed. The experimental results showed that, the friction of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs could be reduced by ultrasonic vibration, and the reduction of friction coefficient became more obvious as the loads increasing. The friction coefficient measured under ultrasonic vibration is 12% lower than it measured without ultrasonic vibration when the load was 50N. However, the wear of frictional pairs increased under ultrasonic vibration, and the amplitude of wear volume enlarged with the loads increase, which is 63% at the load of 50N.

The paper studied the friction and wear performances of n-Na2B4O7/ion nitrocarburized duplex layer at different frequences. It is found that at frequence 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 30 Hz, respectively, the friction factor and volume loss of the duplex layer is 64%, 60%, 50% and 97%, 91%, 95% less than that of the intermediate frequency quenched surface, respectively, which indicates that the n-Na2B4O7/ion nitrocarburized duplex layer has more excellent friction reduction and wear resistance performances than the intermediate frequency quenched surface under CD15W-40 oil lubricating at different frequences. This because that the chemical reaction films including oxide, BN and so on formed on the friction surface play the solid lubrication function, and the n-Na2B4O7 particles on the friction surface play the "Micron nanobearing" function.

The effects of friction speed and ultrasonic vibration on friction reduction and anti-wear properties of GCr15/45# steel frictional pairs under oil lubrication were investigated by a modified MFT-R4000 reciprocating friction and wear tester. The mechanism of friction reduction and anti-wear under ultrasonic vibration was discussed. The results showed that, the ultrasonic vibration could influence the friction reduction and anti-wear properties of frictional pairs due to it could reduce the stress between the friction pairs and destroy the oil film on the surface of samples. When the friction frequency was 2Hz,ultrasonic vibration would reduce the friction coefficient and wear volume of the frictional pairs. When the load was 40N, the friction coefficient and wear volume of the frictional pairs attained under ultrasonic vibration decreased 8% and 44% respectively. However, ultrasonic vibration would increase the friction coefficient and wear volume when the friction frequency was 5Hz. When the load was 30N, friction coefficient and wear volume of frictional pairs increased 11% and 74% than that without ultrasonic vibration respectively.

The tribological properties of Fe–Cr–B alloys were studied sliding against SiC ball in liquid paraffin oil. The boron played an important role in improving tribological properties of alloys. The friction coefficients of alloys decreased with the increase of normal load and sliding speed. The Fe–Cr–B alloys showed better wear resistance than that of Fe–Cr alloy. Fe-21 wt.% Cr-7 wt.% B alloy had the best tribological properties. The wear mechanism of Fe–Cr alloy was abrasive wear and plastic deformation. The wear mechanism of Fe–Cr–B alloys was microploughing and fatigue flaking pits.

Friction and wear contribute to high energetic losses that reduce the efficiency of mechanical systems. However, carbon alloyed transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD-C) coatings possess low friction coefficients in diverse environments and can self-adapt to various sliding conditions. Hence, in this investigation, a semi-industrial magnetron sputtering device, operated in direct current mode (DC), is utilized to deposit several molybdenum-selenium-carbon (Mo-Se-C) coatings with a carbon content up to 60 atomic % (at. %). Then, the carbon content influence on the final properties of the films is analysed using several structural, mechanical and tribological characterization techniques. With an increasing carbon content in the Mo-Se-C films, lower Se/Mo ratio, porosity and roughness appeared, while the hardness and compactness increased. Pin-on-disk (POD) experiments performed in humid air disclosed that the Mo-Se-C vs. nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) friction is higher than Mo-Se-C vs. steel friction, and the coefficient of friction (CoF) is higher at 25 °C than at 200 °C, for both steel and NBR countersurfaces. In terms of wear, the Mo-Se-C coatings with 51 at. % C showed the lowest specific wear rates of all carbon content films when sliding against steel. The study shows the potential of TMD-based coatings for friction and wear reduction sliding against rubber.

This study investigated the tribological behaviour of Pongamia oil (PO) and 15W–40 mineral engine oil (MO) with and without the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The friction and wear characteristics were evaluated in four-ball anti-wear tests according to the ASTM D4172 standard. The morphology of worn surfaces and the lubrication mechanism of GNPs were investigated via SEM and EDS. This study also focuses on the tribological effect of GNP concentration at various concentrations. The addition of 0.05 wt % GNPs in PO and MO exhibits the lowest friction and wear with 17.5% and 12.24% friction reduction, respectively, and 11.96% and 5.14% wear reduction, respectively. Through SEM and EDS surface analysis, the surface enhancement on the worn surface by the polishing effect of GNPs was confirmed. The deposition of GNPs on the friction surface and the formation of a protective film prevent the interacting surfaces from rubbing, resulting in friction and wear reduction.
