Abstract
Lubricant additives are the main means to improve the performance of lubricants.
In this article, green and inexpensive layered kaolin were selected as lubricant
additives, and the effects of the type of modifier, concentration, particle size
of kaolin additives, and working temperatures on the tribological performance of
lubricants were investigated. The results showed that the Span80 modifier can
effectively improve the dispersibility and friction reduction effects of kaolin
oil samples. Compared with kaolin oil samples without the modifier, the modified
kaolin oil can reduce the friction coefficient by 40.9% and the wear spot
diameter of the steel balls by 43.8%. The layered kaolin additive can
significantly reduce the friction coefficient and wear of steel balls in
lubrication, and the friction coefficient showed a trend of decreasing and then
increasing with increasing kaolin additive concentration and particle size. The
optimal added concentration and particle size of kaolin are 5 wt% and 2 μm,
respectively, which can reduce the friction coefficient by 41.9% and 65.63% and
the wear spot diameter by 12.31% and 50.72%, respectively, compared with the
base oil. At five temperatures, compared with the base oil, the kaolin oil
samples all showed better friction reduction and anti-wear properties. The micro
and nano size of the kaolin additive, the layered structure, and the chemically
reactive film generated on the surface are the main reasons for its good
lubrication performance.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
