An appropriate lubricant can significantly reduce this. Blending nanoadditives with base oil is claimed to be an effective technique to increase the anti-friction qualities of lubricants using nanotechnology. Advanced microwave synthesized molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) anti-friction nanoadditive was employed in various lubricating oils namely fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral, and hydraulic oil to formulate the nanolubricant. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and a physical stability observation test were used to study the nanoadditives (MoS2) physicochemical characteristics. The tribological analysis of the MoS2 nanolubricant was measured using the four-ball tribotester. The coefficient of friction (COF) and average wear scar diameter (WSD) of the anti-friction additives were analyzed. The experimental results revealed improvements in COF and WSD in the range of 7.47–15.81% and 6.57–16.07% after the addition of MoS2 nanoparticles in the various lubricating oils. This study discovered that engine oil with advanced microwave-synthesized MoS2 nanoparticles has a significantly lower COF and WSD than engine oil that is not added with the anti-friction additives.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87636168","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}

Based on the fluid lubrication theory, the oil film governing equation of a semi-floating ring bearing with surface texture parameters is derived. The effects of the texture depth, position, and number of turns of the internal thread on the dynamic characteristics of the bearing oil film, such as the maximum pressure, load-carrying capacity and stiffness damping, are analyzed. Taking a type of turbocharger as an example, a hydrodynamic model is established to analyze the oil film lubrication in the semi-floating ring bearings, and the dynamic characteristic of the oil film is analyzed by computational fluid dynamics method. The results show that the maximum pressure, bearing capacity, and stiffness damping coefficient of oil film increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of texture depth and the number of thread turns in the range of journal rotation speed from 1000 to 20,0000 r/min. Compared with the non-texture bearings, the dynamic characteristics coefficients of the oil film such as bearing capacity and stiffness damping increase the most, when the depth of texture is 0.006 mm and the number of thread turns is 9. Secondly, the dynamic characteristic coefficient of oil film is improved when the texture is distributed in the middle than on both sides. The thread texture with appropriate parameters can suppress the rotor system vibration amplitude. The conclusion can provide a reference for the design of textual parameters of semi-floating ring bearings.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81502842","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 objective of this research is to investigate the effects of machining Ti6Al4V alloys, a widely used lightweight metal in the aerospace industry known for its challenging machinability. The study specifically examines cutting force, surface roughness, and tool wear under various cutting parameters and tribological conditions. The use of a new lubrication/cooling method was investigated in order to minimize the effects of traditional cutting fluids used in the machining of difficult materials, which may cause environmental and human health. This way, sustainable green production compatible with the environment has been realized today, where global warming and carbon emissions are rapidly increasing.

An interfacial friction–temperature prediction model for the cam-tappet pairs, considering the effects of transient working conditions and the real surface roughness, is developed in the present study, based on the theories of the transient mixed EHL and the heat transfer under the condition of a fast moving heat source. The numerical results of surface temperature rise are compared with those from the Blok formula, and a good agreement is found. The obtained results show that the presence of 3D roughness may lead to a decrease in the lubricant film thickness, and the surface temperature rise of tappet may exceed 700 K, which is close to the material scuffing temperature, causing the surface failure due to scuffing and wear. If increasing the cam speed and base circle radius within certain range, it may lead to the increment of film thickness and reduction of surface temperature rise, thus the lubrication effectiveness is increased. In addition, using cast aluminum bronze may significantly reduce the surface temperature rise and improve the interfacial characteristics.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86819691","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 keep the nano-fluid stable, before using ultrasonic waves, two types of polysorbate (tween 20 and tween 80) as surfactants were added to four concentrations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.0375, and 0.05 wt%, and the effects of nano-particles were studied to find the best combination in terms of viscosity, thermal conductivity, and friction coefficient, which made the nan-fluid quite stable during the tests procedure. The results showed with good accuracy that the final nano-fluid was Newtonian and its viscosity was very similar to the base oil. An increase of 7% was observed between 25 °C and 75 °C and for the concentration of 0.02 wt%. Thermal conductivity was raised in all states with an increase in concentration and the highest effect was 8% in the concentration of 0.05 wt%. The friction tests proved a desirable decrease of as much as 45% in friction coefficient compared to base oil and 28% compared to common anti-friction material used in industry for the optimum concentration which was 0.02 wt%. In addition, experimental data were compared to the models presented in the literature and the models that could describe the behavior of this nano-fluid in the best way were reported, and an empirical equation (for each surfactant) is developed to show the variation of COF with nano-particles weight fraction in the nano-fluid.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84256047","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 this study, the evolution of wear and mixed lubrication performance distribution over time is predicted, and the impact of acceleration mode, acceleration time, external load, lubricant viscosity, and start-up time on the numerical predictions is evaluated. The findings demonstrate that wear behavior, particularly in the analysis of the effects of acceleration mode and acceleration time, has a significant impact on the evaluation of the bearing-rotor system's start-up performance and even changes the determination of optimal parameters. Furthermore, the parametric study demonstrates that wear and mixed lubrication performance are sensitive to the external load and lubricant viscosity. Finally, studies on the effect of start-up times show that proper wear geometry promotes hydrodynamic effects, but severely worn bearing surfaces have a negative effect on start-up.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90900469","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 machining performance is estimated based on various parameters like cutting forces, surface roughness, tool–chip interface temperature, and specific energy. In the traditional approach, cutting fluids are greatly utilized to dissipate the generated heat during machining, but their utilization causes a threat to nature and human being’s health. Therefore, there emerges a necessity to determine user-friendly, sustainable, and eco-friendly substitutes for traditional cutting fluids. The field of advanced tribology has proposed the usage of solid lubricants due to their inherent properties, such as excellent tribological performance, reduced machining zone temperature due to lowered friction, and enhanced tool life. Therefore, in the present study, pure MoS2 and composite MoS2–TiO2 solid lubricants have been employed in the milling process of AISI 52100 steel with HSS end mill cutter. The machining was carried out in different conditions such as uncoated tool without use of lubricant, uncoated tool with use of lubricant, coated tool without use of lubricant, and coated tool with use of lubricant that were employed to analyze their effect on machining performance. The experimental results showed substantial improvement regarding reduced cutting forces, reduced temperature at tool–chip interface, improved surface finish, and average tool wear with the application of solid lubricants. Among the various lubricating conditions, composite MoS2–TiO2-coated tool with composite MoS2–TiO2 lubricant exhibits excellent machining performance.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82342158","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}

Roll-to-plate nanoimprinting is a manufacturing method to replicate micro- and nanotextures on large-area substrates with ultraviolet-curable resins. The roller is equipped with a relatively soft elastomeric layer, which elastically deforms during the imprint process. The elastic deformation is described by linear elasticity theory. It is coupled to the pressure build-up in the liquid resin film, which is described by lubrication theory. The flexible stamp, which is treated as a tensioned web, is pre-tensioned around the roller. The elastic deformation of the tensioned web is described by the large-deflection bending of thin plates equations, considering its non-negligible bending stiffness. A Fischer–Burmeister complementarity condition captures the contact mechanics between the tensioned web and the roller. The governing equations combine in a coupled elastohydrodynamic lubrication model, which is fully described by a set of non-dimensional numbers. These are used in a parameter study to investigate the effect on the pressure and film height distributions. It is shown that the bending stiffness of the tensioned web results in an additional hydrodynamic pressure peak and corresponding minimum in the film height, near the inlet of the roller contact. An increase of the bending stiffness corresponds to a decrease in film height. The numerical results are compared with benchmarks from literature and experimentally validated with layer height measurements from flat layer imprints. Good agreement is found between the numerical and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76207728","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}
