But the adhesion of nano-additive on the rubbed surfaces under oil lubrication faces the challenge of the competitive adsorption of lubricant base oil thereon. In this study, oleic acid–modified ultra-small cerium oxide (OA-CeO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticle was synthesised by one-pot liquid-phase surface-modification method in the presence of OA as the surface modifier. The susceptibility of non-polar poly–alpha olefin 6 (PAO6) and polar diisooctyl sebacate (DIOS) base oils to the as-prepared OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nano-additive was investigated, and the effect of the OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nano-additive on the friction-reducing and anti-wear abilities of the two kinds of base oils towards a steel–steel sliding contact was investigated with four-ball friction and wear tester. Furthermore, the tribological mechanism of the adsorption and deposition of the OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nano-additive on the surface of friction steel and the competitive adsorption of base oil were discussed. Characterisations by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrate that the as-prepared OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticle is of a spherical shape and has an ultra-small average size of 1.2 nm. As the lubricant additive in PAO6 and DIOS base oils, the OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nano-additive exhibits different tribological properties, which is attributed to the difference in the base oils' polarity. Namely, the CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticle in the non-polar PAO6 base oil is more easily adsorbed on the rubbed surface of the steel–steel sliding contact, thereby forming the CeO<sub>2</sub> deposition film to improve the tribological properties of the base oil. However, the CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticle added in polar DIOS base oil is difficult to form the CeO<sub>2</sub> deposition film, because of the competitive and preferential adsorption of the polar base oil on the rubbed steel surface. Therefore, it is imperative to select the base oils with proper polarity to better exert the friction-reducing and anti-wear functions of the OA-CeO<sub>2</sub> nano-additive.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18114,"journal":{"name":"Lubrication Science","volume":"36 6","pages":"478-488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140592823","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}

The removability of the surface oil becomes difficult with ageing which could lead to potential surface oil residues remaining on the strip after degreasing, resulting in surface defects and dirty coils after annealing.

The lubrication performance calculation model established for this bearing includes the Reynolds equation, energy equation, film thickness equation, and elastic deformation equation. Theoretically analysing and calculating the lubrication performance of the circular tilting pad thrust bearing, the key performance parameters have identified such as minimum film thickness (<i>h</i><sub>min</sub>), temperature rise (Δ<i>T</i>), power consumption (<i>W</i>), and flow rate (<i>Q</i>). The calculation results show that the eccentricity ratio has a significant impact on the lubrication performance of the circular tilting pad thrust bearing. When both radial and circumferential eccentricity ratios are around 0.5, the bearing exhibits a high temperature rise, leading to a potential risk of bearing burnout. The results also show that at a radial eccentricity ratio of approximately 0.54, the minimum film thickness reaches its maximum value of 10.34 μm. Similarly, at a circumferential eccentricity ratio of about 0.60, the minimum film thickness reaches its peak value of 21.89 μm. This indicates that the eccentricity ratio plays a crucial role in the lubrication performance. In addition, the lubrication performance of the bearing under varying loads has been calculated at a speed of 9.5 r/min. The results demonstrated that the applied load significantly impacts the thrust bearing's performance. The findings elucidate the critical role of considering the eccentricity ratio and operational external load during the bearing design process.
