Nitriding was performed using the active screen plasma nitriding method at a temperature of 400 °C, with a gas mixture of 60 % N₂ and 40 % H₂, and nitriding durations of 5 and 10 h. The nitriding time influenced the thickness of the nitrided layer, which measured 26 μm and 39 μm, respectively. X-ray diffraction revealed the presence of γ′-Fe<sub>4</sub>N and ε-Fe<sub>2-3</sub>N phases in the surface zone of the nitrided layer. The maximum hardness of the nitrided layer was similar for both durations (1352 HV for 5 h and 1362 HV for 10 h), more than tripling the hardness of the untreated steel (420 ± 6 HV), and was located 15 μm below the surface, irrespective of nitriding time. Cavitation erosion tests conducted in a cavitation tunnel showed that, despite the increase in surface hardness, nitriding reduced cavitation erosion resistance. A thicker nitrided layer resulted in lower resistance to cavitation erosion, primarily due to brittle fracture in the nitrided steel, with cracks propagating along cleavage planes. In contrast, the non-nitrided X20Cr13 steel exhibited ductile fracture behaviour. Roughness parameters of the surface profiles were similar for both nitriding durations, regardless of the erosion rate or testing time, indicating a consistent degradation mode, which differed from the untreated steel's degradation behaviour. Testing time had more impact on the size of the eroded area than mass loss.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":"564 ","pages":"Article 205757"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097268","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}

The current investigation aims to understand the tribofilm formation mechanism on electrified steel surfaces, helping mitigate the adverse effects of current leakage in electric vehicles (EVs) transmission. A low-SAPS oil was formulated using polyalphaolefin oil (PAO6) and 0.5 wt% zinc isopropyl-isooctyl-dithiophosphate (ZDDP, type T204). Additionally, the commercially fully formulated transmission oil for EVs was used as a reference oil to compare. The current-carrying friction tests were conducted under various DC currents (2–8 A) and temperatures (50–200 °C) at 250 N and 10 Hz using an electrified SRV-IV tribometer. The results demonstrated that the electrical contact resistance (ECR) and coefficient of friction (COF) signals were dynamically compatible, indicating the tribofilm behavior. Notably, the antiwear properties of ZDDP oil were enhanced by up to 58 % compared to the reference oil under various currents at 150 °C. The HRTEM results revealed that ZDDP oil produces a thick antiwear tribofilm up to 654.8 nm, while the reference oil forms a thin tribofilm up to 37.1 nm at 8 A and 150 °C. The electrification effects do not deteriorate antiwear ZDDP tribofilms due to their higher formation rate than the scrape-off rate. Accordingly, these findings will help synthesize new organic oil additives (low-SAPS) and open future opportunities for discovering green alternatives to enhance the durability of EVs transmission.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":"564 ","pages":"Article 205746"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097267","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 both the case of paraffin and silicone oil, it was observed that adding CSP to the polymer matrix reduces the COF. Paraffin oil tends to reduce the COF by increasing the percentage of filler (regardless of particle size). In contrast, silicone oil has the lowest COF observed in the case of 5 % wt. and the highest granulation. The dominant wear mechanism in the case of paraffin oil lubrication turned out to be micro-abrasion, while in the case of silicone oil, micro-abrasion and micro-adhesion.
