The as-prepared oleic acid-epoxy silane co-modified cerium oxide (CeO-OA/E) nanoparticles were characterized. The effect of temperature on the adsorption behavior of trityl phosphate (TCP, a commercial high-temperature antifriction agent), CeO-OA and CeO-OA/E in PETO was studied using a dissipative quartz microbalance. Their tribological properties as the additives in pentaerythritol oleate (PETO), a polar ester base oil, were evaluated with a four-ball machine and a ball-on-block friction and wear tester; and their tribomechanism was explored with respect to their adsorption behavior on rubbed steel surfaces at elevated temperatures. It was found that the secondary surface-capping of CeO-OA by the KH560 silane coupling agent resulted in great increases in the surface potential (from 54 mV to 396 mV) and thermal stability as well (the thermal decomposition temperature rose from 185 °C to 254 °C). Among the tesetd lubricant additives, CeO-OA/E exhibited the highest adsorption mass, because of the highest surface potential the chemisorption ascribed to the epoxy group of the silane coupling agent. Particularly, CeO-OA/E added in PETO exhibited better friction reduction and anti-wear properties at 150 °C than CeO-OA and TCP, because CeO-OA/E added in PETO formed tribofilm composed of CeO and SiO with excellent thermal stability as well as friction-reduction and antiwear effects through stable chemical adsorption and tribochemical reaction at elevated temperatures.","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 paper, the effects of loading current on the tribological behavior of CuW composites with different W content were studied, focusing on the variation of friction coefficient during friction, wear rate and the wear topography of the surface after friction, and the wear mechanism was discussed. The results indicate that the friction coefficient of CuW composites was larger under energized conditions than under dry friction conditions, and that the friction coefficient first increases and then decreases with the increasing current. The main reason for the decrease in friction coefficient is that the heat generated by increasing current creates a layer of molten lubricant on the contact surface. In addition, the wear rate of the CuW composites decreased as the W content increased. When loaded with a current of 15 A, the CuW80 composites exhibited the lowest wear rate of 8 × 10<sup>−3</sup> mg/m, which was attributed to the improved wear resistance due to the ability of the high W content to resist plastic deformation. The wear forms of CuW composites under current loading include adhesion, abrasive wear and arc erosion, and fatigue wear was also associated with long-term high current conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23238,"journal":{"name":"Tribology International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142050145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
