The purpose of this study is to develop a simplified non-Hertzian wheel-rail adhesion model under interfacial contaminations to predict the wheel-rail adhesion coefficient. Firstly, a non-Hertzian full elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model was developed and applied to determine the wheel-rail contact pressure and film thickness under interfacial contaminations. Then, the empirical formula of central film thickness available to non-Hertzian wheel-rail normal contact relating to train speeds, axle loads and material parameters were proposed based on a large number of non-Hertzian full EHL simulation for smooth surface under interfacial contaminations using linear regression. The empirical non-Hertzian central film thickness formula and minimum film thickness formula for wheel-rail contact obtained in this paper show certain differences from the formulas based on Hertzian contact. Using the proposed non-Hertzian central film thickness formula, a simplified non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact adhesion model was developed, and the adhesion coefficient was obtained at different speeds and compared with the field test data. The numerical results showed good agreement with field test data.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18114,"journal":{"name":"Lubrication Science","volume":"37 1","pages":"105-116"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142869140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has already revealed advancements in several applications, such as coolants and electromechanical relays. However, Ga–In–Sn liquid metal shows poor lubrication performance on industrial metallic materials, which limits its application in engineering. In this study, the electrochemical boronising strategy was applied to improve the lubrication effect of Ga–In–Sn liquid metal on steel friction pairs. Electrochemical boronising treatment was performed to the base material AISI 52100, and a boronised layer with a thickness of around 64 μm was generated. Tribology tests were carried out on both boronised and original samples with the lubrication of Ga–In–Sn liquid metal (68.5 wt% Ga, 21.5 wt% In and 10 wt% Sn). Results show that the wear resistance of the tribo-system reveals great improvement: The coefficient of friction decreases by 59% and the wear rate drops 85% compared to the steel/steel friction pair. EDS and XPS results show that a tribofilm consisted of Fe/Ga was in situ–generated on the wear scar of the boronised sample, which results in the synergy effect between the boronised layer and the Ga–In–Sn liquid metal. Therefore, we provided a robust strategy to enhance the lubrication performance of Ga–In–Sn liquid metal on a steel friction pair by using electrochemical boronising treatment, which could broaden the application field of Ga–In–Sn liquid metals.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18114,"journal":{"name":"Lubrication Science","volume":"37 1","pages":"93-104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142868387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the effects of oil supply temperature, input speed and torque on tooth surface temperature rise, film thickness, friction excitation and gear dynamic characteristics are discussed. The results show that the temperature rise of the gear is higher during the engaging-in and engaging-out regions.

The vibration of gear along the off-line-of-action direction is mainly determined by friction excitation.

Experimental results demonstrate an enhanced fluid transport efficiency, resulting in a maximum drag reduction of 9.1%, attributed to the size effect of the multi-scale structure of bionic dragonfly wings. Surfaces featuring wetting gradients exhibit increased stability of the air film within the texture and the ability to trap air bubbles. Based on a near-wall flow two-phase flow theory model, the simulation considers the morphological changes of the air film at structured interfaces and their influence on near-wall flow characteristics. The results indicate that the drag reduction effect arise from the slippage effect between the internal vortex in the air film inside the texture and the flow field near the wall surface. The synergistic effect of near-wall flow fields among multiple texture layers is evident.

The alloy is highly resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, and thus it can preserve its properties at high temperatures. Due to its low heat transfer coefficient and work hardening during operation, Inconel 686 is considered a difficult-to-cut material, and hence, turning Inconel 686 is challenged with major limitations regarding input parameter level and cutting fluid and issues such as reduced surface quality. The input parameter level and cutting fluid limitations might severely harm the environment and humans, decrease the machining efficiency and keep cleaner production goals out of reach. Novel cooling methods such as cryo-MQL can contribute to achieving cleaner production goals. Cooling methods improve the machining performance and prohibit any damage to the surface integrity. In this study, cryo-MQL, along with carbide-coated tools and biodegradable vegetable oil, was adopted. The efficiency and success rate of cryo-MQL were evaluated by comparing the results with those of MQL and wet methods.

Therefore, the machining of this advanced alloy with its unique properties is extremely important and can be challenging. Significant increase in input parameters levels, reduction of machining costs, improvement of surface and subsurface properties and clean production are among the issues that should be considered in dealing with Inconel 686 turning operations. Simultaneous application of advanced tools such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) and optimised minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method and evaluating the results obtained with a wide range of output parameters related to machining process performance and tribological properties can be proposed as an innovation and a solution to this problem in this article.
