Powder metallurgy derived microporous Al2O3/FeCrWMoV metal ceramic preforms were infiltrated with 60Pb40Sn based solid lubricants to create almost fully dense self-lubrication composites. By means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), it was found that 60Pb40Sn-based solid lubricants are well dispersed and embedded in the Al2O3/FeCrWMoV matrix. The friction and wear behaviors of the composites sliding against ZrO2 ceramic from ambient to 800 °C were investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester.The results showed that the composites exhibited self-lubricating properties at elevated temperatures up to 700 °C. The friction coefficients of less than 0.27 at 600 °C and wear rates of 6×10−6 mm3/N m are obtained when rubbing against ZrO2 ceramic under a normal load of 50 N and a sliding speed of 0.139m/s for 2 hours. The occurrences of lower friction coefficient and plateau in wear rate have been related to the formation of a film of lubricant almost covered entirely the substrate beneath.

The friction and wear of the silicon carbide (SiC) and hot pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) against zirconia (Y–TZP) sliding under dry friction and room temperature conditions were investigated with pin-on-disk tribometer at sliding speed of 0.56 m·s-1 and normal load of 50 N, 80 N and 120 N, respectively. It was found that, the coefficient of friction and wear rate are dependent on the test duration as well as the normal load. Through analyzing and comparing, the wear rates of the two frictional couples both are in the 10-6 mm3 (N·m)-1. Based on the variety regulation of the wear maps, the wear mechanisms of the two couples were analyzed. Between the two couples, the friction and wear characteristics of the SiC/ZrO2 couple are better than the Si3N4/ZrO2 couple’s.

High speed steel (HSS) with controlled micropores was prepared via vacuum sintering process, using the mixture of stearic acid, TiH2 and CaCO3 compound as pore-forming agent. A self-made vacuum high pressure infiltration furnace was used to infiltrate the preform with 60Pb40Sn40-15Ag-0.5RE solid lubricants to create self-lubrication composite where both solid lubricant phase and matrix phase were interpenetrating throughout the microstructure. Effects of pore-forming agent on micropore structure and porosity of the prepared microporous HSS preforms were investigated. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation was applied to the test samples and it revealed that the micropores of the microporous materials exhibited a uniform distribution and the apertures were of almost same size in principle. The friction and wear behaviors of the composite sliding against ZrO2 ceramic under a load of 50 N at 600 °C were investigated using a pin-on-disk wear tester and the results showed that this kind composite possessed excellent high temperature self-lubrication properties.

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 chapter illustrates the effect of the addition of solid lubricants on the high temperature friction and wear behavior of Ni-based composites. Ni-based composites containing solid lubricant particles both in nano and micrometer range have been fabricated through powder metallurgy route. In order to explore the possible synergetic action of a combination of low and high temperature solid lubricant, nano or micro powders of two or more solid lubricants were added in the composites. This chapter introduces the fabrication of the Ni-based self-lubricating composites containing graphite and/or MoS2, Ag and/or rare earth, Ag and/or hBN as solid lubricants and their friction and wear behavior at room and elevated temperatures. The chapter also includes information on some lubricating composite coatings such as electro-deposited nickel-base coating containing graphite, MoS2, or BN and graphene and their tribological characteristics.

The effect of various operational factors, such as sliding speed, normal load and temperature on the tribological properties of Date palm fruit syrup (DPFS) as an environmentally friendly lubricant, is investigated. Ball-on-disc wear tests are conducted on mild steel samples in the presence of DPFS as a lubricant under different conditions and the coefficient of friction and wear rate are measured. Scanning electron microscopy, stylus profilometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to evaluate the wear tracks to determine the underlying wear mechanisms. Results showed that DPFS has excellent tribological properties in terms of low friction and low wear rates making it a potential candidate to be used as a lubricant in tribological applications.

A series of seven room-temperature ionic liquids (IL) have been studied as neat and 1 wt% base oil additives in the lubrication of steel and aluminum contacts under increasing sliding speed, normal load and temperature. IL used as neat lubricants can produce, depending on the composition, tribochemical processes at the aluminum-steel interface associated with an increase in friction coefficients and wear rates. When IL are used as 1 wt% additives, surfaces interactions can give friction and wear values lower than those obtained for the neat IL. The lubricating performance of the additives is more dependent on contact conditions than on composition.

The tribological behavior of graphene and graphite as additives in canola oil was investigated with a pin-on-disk tribometer. The wear surfaces of the aluminum pins lubricated with the additive-containing canola oil were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that graphene and graphite as additives in oil show a lower coefficient of friction and wear rate in comparison with neat canola oil. The graphene sheets are more effective than graphite flakes to reduce friction and wear. In addition, there is a proper concentration where the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear are in minimum value. The optimal concentration of the additive in canola oil is about 0.7 wt %. Therefore, the load-carrying capacity and antiwear ability of the lubricating oil are improved. Moreover, the worn surface of aluminum pins is smother in the presence of solid lubricant rather than neat oil.
