This article aims to assess the traction properties of aerospace lubricants under low-temperature micro-oil droplet (hereinafter referred to as ‘micro-oil’) supply conditions, and provide a lubrication theoretical basis for studying the motion characteristics of aerospace bearings in a low-temperature environment. An experimental study on the low-temperature micro-oil traction properties of high-speed bearing lubricants was conducted on a specially designed aerospace bearing lubricant traction characteristic tester. A modified Herschel–Bulkley model (modified H–B model) was presented based on test data analysis, and the fitting results were compared with the Tevaarwerk–Johnson model (T–J model). The findings demonstrated that the traction coefficient of this lubricant decreased at a higher load and entrainment velocity, and decreased with a decreasing inlet oil temperature from 0 °C to −50 °C. The modified H–B model accurately fitted the test data and was suitable for the engineering traction coefficient calculation of lubricants and high viscosities at low temperatures. This paper can provide fundamental information for analyzing aerospace bearing friction torque variation.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138976494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influences of the moment’s response time, axial preload, and working temperature on the dynamic characteristics and friction torque of CMGB were analyzed, and the relevant verification tests were conducted. The results show that the friction torque fluctuation of CMGB directly corresponds to the dynamic characteristics. The faster the response time of the time-varying moment, the larger the friction torque fluctuation of CMGB. The larger preload minimizes the difference in the ball’s loading state, which is the actual reason for reducing the friction torque fluctuation.

The brake emission factor (BEF) of the SCC was greatly reduced by more than a factor of 1/5 compared with those for the GCI and NC for both low-steel and non-steel friction materials. Surface topological and microstructural analyses confirmed that more severe wear was pronounced for the NC rotor compared with the SCC, as evidenced by large concave pits in the wear tracks. Analysis of the size-classified airborne PM suggests that reduced micron-sized particles, which originated from the GCI disc, were responsible for the lower BEF due to the increased hardness of the SCC.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"53 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kapil, Yuji Sato, Yoshihiko Hayashi, Keiichiro Ikeda, Tetsuo Suga, Masahiro Tsukamoto, Ş. Karabulut, Musa Bilgin, Abhay Sharma","doi":"10.3390/lubricants11120523","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/lubricants11120523","url":null,"abstract":"Inconel 718 (IN718), a Ni-based superalloy, is immensely popular in the aerospace, nuclear, and chemical industries. In these industrial fields, IN718 parts fabricated using conventional and additive manufacturing routes require subsequent machining to meet the dimensional accuracy and surface quality requirements of practical applications. The machining of IN718 has been a prominent research topic for conventionally cast, wrought, and forged parts. However, very little attention has been given to the machinability of IN718 additively manufactured using laser metal deposition (LMD). This lack of research can lead to numerous issues derived from the assumption that the machining behavior corresponds to conventionally fabricated parts. To address this, our study comprehensively assesses the machinability of LMDed IN718 in dry and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) cutting environments. Our main goal is to understand how LMD process variables and the cutting environment affect cutting forces, tool wear, surface quality, and energy consumption when working with LMDed IN718 walls. To achieve this, we deposited IN718 on SS309L substrates while varying the following LMD process parameters: laser power, powder feed rate, and scanning speed. The results unveil that machining the deposited wall closer to the substrate is significantly more difficult than away from the substrate, owing to the variance in hardness along the build direction. MQL greatly improves machining across all processing parameters regardless of the machining location along the build direction. Laser power is identified as the most influential parameter, along with the recommendation for a specific combination of power feed rate and scanning speed, providing practical guidelines for optimizing the machining process. While MQL positively impacts machinability, hourly energy consumption remains comparable to dry cutting. This work offers practical guidance for improving the machinability of LMDed IN718 walls and the successful adoption of LMD and the additive–subtractive machining chain. The outcomes of this work provide a significant and critical understanding of location-dependent machinability that can help develop targeted approaches to overcome machining difficulties associated with specific areas of the LMDed structure. The finding that MQL significantly improves machining across all processing parameters, particularly in the challenging bottom region, offers practical guidance for selecting optimal cutting conditions. The potential economic benefits of MQL in terms of tool longevity without a substantial increase in energy costs is also highlighted, which has implications for incorporating MQL in several advanced manufacturing processes.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"803 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The WCMSs were modified with oleic acid (OA) to improve dispersion in base oil. The friction and wear properties of WCMSs in liquid paraffin (LP) for steel balls were investigated using a four-ball wear tester. The results have shown that at a high reaction temperature, willow catkins (being used as a template) and urea (being used as a nitrogen resource) can effectively decrease the wear scar diameters (WSDs) and coefficients of friction (COFs). At a concentration of 0.5 wt.%, the WSD and COF of steel balls, when lubricated using LP containing modified WCMS with urea, decreased from 0.65 mm and 0.175 of pure LP to 0.46 mm and 0.09, respectively. The addition of urea and hydroxylated catkins can generate a significant number of loose nano-sheets and even graphene-like sheets. The weak van der Waals forces, decreasing the shear forces that the steel balls must overcome, provide effective lubrication during rotation. On the other hand, the tribo-films containing MoS2, FeS, azide, metal oxides and other compounds play important roles in reducing friction and facilitating anti-wear properties.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"628 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138982860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although direct oil leakage from the gap is not likely to happen with the misalignment of the upper and lower rail gaps, there exist other less-apparent oil leaking mechanisms through the TPOCR. This work is targeted at understanding the oil leakage’s source and destination through the rail and liner interfaces across the whole cycle. The 2D Laser Induced Fluorescence technique was applied on an optical engine to study the oil transport behavior. Combined with a TPOCR model for dynamics and lubrication, the mechanisms that cause rail twist and oil scraping by the upper rail were analyzed. It was found that the symmetrical rail can scrape the oil up in the up-strokes. The scraped oil first accumulates in the clearance between the upper rail and groove, as well as at the upper corner of the rail Outer Diameter before being transferred to both the third land and liner when the piston changes direction at Top Dead Center. Rails with an asymmetrical profile can reduce or enhance these effects depending the orientation of the rails. This study provides findings that could help design the engine to better control Lubricate Oil Consumption and properly lubricate the Top Dead Center’s dry region at the same time.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"256 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moving particle semi-implicit method was used to visualize the lubricating-oil flow field distribution characteristics of the gearbox. The distribution characteristics of lubricating oil in the gearbox with varying gear rotation speeds, initial lubricating-oil volume levels and oil temperatures were analyzed. It was found that the initial lubricating-oil volume is the factor with the largest influence, while the influences of gear rotation speed and oil temperature are relatively small. By analyzing the churning loss under various simulation conditions, it was found that the churning loss is positively correlated with the gear rotation speed and initial oil volume, and is more affected by the initial oil volume. The churning loss is negatively correlated with the oil temperature, and both are nonlinear relationships. The proportion of churning loss related to the driven gear is higher compared to that of the driving gear. These results can provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent optimization of the gearbox.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"66 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138587389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, improvements in the load−carrying capability (LCC) of aerostatic bearings often lead to higher intensity nano−vibrations. This paper introduces a novel primary and secondary orifice restrictor (PSOR) designed to simultaneously enhance the LCC and mitigate nano−vibrations in aerostatic bearings. The static performance of complex turbulent flows occurring within the chamber of aerostatic bearings with PSORs was investigated. The dynamic performance of the turbulent flows was analyzed through 3D transient numerical simulation using the large eddy simulation method. The LCC and nano−vibration acceleration were measured experimentally, and the results indicated that the design of the secondary orifice diameter could enhance LCC and mitigate nano−vibrations, consistent with theoretical predictions. The accuracy of the proposed model was validated, confirming the effectiveness of PSOR. In the experiments, an aerostatic bearing with a secondary orifice diameter of 0.1 mm exhibited the lowest LCC and largest nano−vibration. Conversely, an aerostatic bearing with a secondary orifice diameter of 0.26 mm exhibited the highest LCC and weakest nano−vibration.

It is more likely to lead to the slipper overturning, which makes the slipper partially worn. To make improvements, the comprehensive performance of the slipper pair of the LDPP, the motion law of the slipper pair of the LDPP was explored. Firstly, a mathematical model of the oil film thickness of the slipper pair of the LDPP under the state of residual compression force is established, based on the consideration of the linear velocity difference formed by the high-speed rotation of the large bottom surface slipper and the theory of dynamics and thermodynamics. Secondly, the impact of rotational speed, piston chamber pressure and oil temperature on the oil film thickness of the slipper pair was simulated and analyzed. Finally, to measure the oil film thickness of the slipper pair, oil film thickness measuring equipment was created, and the accuracy of the mathematical model was verified. The study revealed the changing rules of the oil film thickness and tilt angle of the bottom surface of the slipper pair under various working conditions.
