However, limited research has simultaneously considered the influence of gas foil bearings (GFBs), labyrinth seals, and impellers on critical speed. In this study, we develop a rotordynamic model that incorporates the aerodynamic forces of GFBs, labyrinth seals, and impellers to explore the effects of each component on the critical speed. To validate the developed model, experimental tests are conducted on a centrifugal compressor test bed, and the results exhibit a high level of agreement with the model calculations. By comparing the model calculations that include different components, we comprehensively analyze the influence of each component on the critical speed. The findings reveal that, for centrifugal compressors used in fuel cell vehicles, the rotordynamic coefficients resulting from GFBs are significantly larger than those resulting from impellers and labyrinth seals. Thus, it is reasonable to disregard the aerodynamic forces caused by impellers and labyrinth seals when calculating the critical speed. Furthermore, substituting rigid gas bearings for GFBs as a means to simplify the calculations has only a very slight impact on the results. This study aims to optimize the design process of centrifugal compressors for fuel cell vehicles and offers valuable insights for designing compressors of similar sizes.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138975434","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}

An investigation was conducted into the microscopic structures of the ten greases and their effects on the friction coefficients and wear scars of GCr15 steel. These findings were validated through bearing friction torque tests. The results indicate that the addition of 2 wt. % erucamide and 1 wt. % N-phenyl-α-naphthylamine to PG/LCG significantly enhances their tribological properties and reduces friction torque, with PG exhibiting superior performance. This enhancement was attributed to the synergistic interaction of erucamide and N-phenyl-α-naphthylamine with the lamellar thickener within PG. Erucamide contributed to friction reduction, while N acted as an antioxidant.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"22 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138972202","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}

To explore the influence of the mixed emulsification of lubricating oil and seawater on the lubrication performance of thrust bearings, this study conducted an emulsification experiment, from which the viscosity equation of the oil–water mixture was obtained. A thermal hydrodynamic model (THD) of bearings considering oil–water mixed emulsification was established, and the Finite Difference Method (FDM) was used for analysis. The results show that according to the characteristics of the manifold, the mixture is divided into water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W). In the W/O flow with higher viscosity, the film thickness becomes higher, but the power loss increases. In the O/W manifold with low viscosity, the thin film easily causes mixed friction. In the demulsification stage of the mixed liquid, the thickness loss of the film is huge, and the collision between the thrust-bearing pad and the inference plate may cause the pad to be ablated. The influence of specific heat capacity on temperature is greater than the temperature rise caused by viscosity.","PeriodicalId":18135,"journal":{"name":"Lubricants","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005616","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}

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.

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.

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}

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}
