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.

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.

The synthesis and application of nanometer-sized particles have received considerable attention in recent years because of their different physical and chemical properties from those of the bulk materials or individual molecules; however, few experimental investigations on the tribological properties of lubricating oils with and without nanoferromagnetic particles have been performed. This work investigates the tribological properties of Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoferromagnetic as additive in 46# turbine oil using a four-ball friction and wear tester. It is shown that the 46# turbine oil containing Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoparticles has much better friction reduction and antiwear abilities than the base oil. The 46# turbine oil doped with 6wt%Mn0.78Zn0.22Fe2O4 nanoparticles show the best tribological properties among the tested oil samples, and PB value is increased by 26%, and the decreasing percentage of wear scar diameter is 25.45% compared to base oil.

Purpose This paper aims to modify carbon nanotubes with oleic acid, and to study the tribological properties of castor oil with modified carbon nanotubes additives. The proper additives are sought for the future engineering application of castor oil. Design/methodology/approach Tribological properties of the castor oils mixed with the modified carbon nanotubes of four mass percentages were investigated using a four-ball testing rig. Coefficient of friction and wear scar diameter were obtained in each test, and the mechanism of modified carbon nanotubes and castor oil was discussed. Findings The results indicated that modified carbon nanotubes had better dispersion in castor oil. Coefficient of friction first increased, then decreased and finally grew stable with the time, and wear scar diameter of steel surface functioned as a first reduced then increased change with the additive mass percentage of modified carbon nanotubes. The minimum of average coefficient of friction and wear scar diameter occurred at 0.02 Wt.% modified carbon nanotubes. Originality/value A small amount of modified carbon nanotubes could improve properties of the castor oil, and the mixed castor oil with 0.02 Wt.% modified carbon nanotubes would be most possibly used in engineering applications.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to synthesize oil-soluble copper (Cu) nanoparticles modified with free phosphorus and sulfur modifier and investigate its tribological properties as environment-friendly lubricating oil additives. Design/methodology/approach – To improve the anti-oxidation properties of these nanoparticles, two kinds of surface modifiers, oleic acid and oleylamine were used simultaneously. The morphology, composition, structure and thermal properties of as-synthesized Cu nanoparticles were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis. The tribological properties of as-synthesized Cu nanoparticles as an additive in liquid paraffin were evaluated with a four-ball friction and wear tester. Findings – It has been found that an as-synthesized Cu nanoparticle has a size of 2-5 nm and can be well dispersed in organic solvents. Tribological properties evaluation results show that as-synthesized Cu nanoparticles possess excellent anti-wear properties as an additive in liquid paraffin. The reason lies in that as-synthesized surface-capped Cu nanoparticles are able to deposit on sliding steel surface and form a low-shearing-strength protective layer thereon, showing promising application as an environmentally acceptable lubricating oil additive, owing to its free phosphorus and sulfur elements characteristics. Originality/value – Oil-soluble surface-modified Cu nanoparticles without phosphorus and sulfur were synthesized and its tribological properties as lubricating oil additives were also investigated in this paper. These results could be very helpful for application of Cu nanoparticles as environment-friendly lubricating oil additives.

Hairy nanoparticles, which graft organic chains on nanoparticles, have led to a wide variety of advanced materials and have been applied in many fields over the past two decades. In this paper, effects of nanoparticle size and organic chain on the tribological properties of amino functionalized hairy silica nanoparticles (HSNs) were investigated. Silica nanoparticles with different sizes and amino group organic chains were synthesized and dispersed into polyalphaolefin (PAO) via a modified process. The synthesized HSNs were characterized by variety of methods. The tribology properties of those HSNs were investigated using a four-ball tribometer. The coefficient of friction and wear scar diameter were measured and analyzed. It was found that the HSNs could form a stable homogeneous solution with PAO. The tribological performance of the PAO 100 was enhanced dramatically by adding the HSNs. The data suggested that HSNs with larger size, longer organic chains, and more amino groups gave better antiwear and friction reduction properties than other nanoparticles.

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%.

WS2-C is produced from a hydrothermal reaction, in which WS2 nano-sheets are coated with carbon, using glucose as the carbon source. In order to investigate the tribological properties of WS2-C as a lubricant additive, WS2-C was modified by surfactant Span80, and friction tests were carried out on an MRS-10A four-ball friction and wear tester. The results show that Span80 can promote the dispersibility of WS2-C effectively in base oil. Adding an appropriate concentration of WS2-C can improve the anti-wear and anti-friction performance of the base oil. The friction coefficient reached its lowest point upon adding 0.1 wt % WS2-C, reduced by 16.7% compared to the base oil. Meanwhile, the wear scar diameter reached its minimum with 0.15 wt % WS2, decreasing by 26.45%. Moreover, at this concentration, the depth and width of the groove and the surface roughness on the wear scar achieved their minimum. It is concluded that WS2-C dispersed in oil could enter friction pairs to avoid their direct contact, thereby effectively reducing friction and wear. At the same time, WS2-C reacts with the friction matrix material to form a protective film, composed of C, Fe2O3, FeSO4, WO3, and WS2, repairing the worn surface.
