However, there are still several challenges in practical applications related to graphene preparation. Therefore, this study employs a novel type of ionic liquid deep eutectic solvent as an interlayer agent for graphene preparation and investigates its tribological properties when used as an additive. We used choline chloride/ethylene glycol deep eutectic solvent as the intercalation agent and successfully prepared graphene samples using liquid-phase exfoliation. The resulting graphene samples had a thickness of 4–5 layers. The peeling mechanism is analyzed through molecular dynamics simulations and characterization techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and AFM. In friction experiments conducted with different mass fractions of 1.5 wt% DES and 0.05 wt% GP as lubricant additives, it is observed that the mixture exhibits optimal lubrication performance compared to base oil alone; specifically reducing average friction coefficient by 56.8% and depth of wear marks by 59.8%. This enhancement in friction performance can be attributed to both high wettability and synergistic effects between composite lubricants. Considering the wide range of available DESs and two-dimensional materials, these newly developed functional two-dimensional materials based on DES hold significant research potential.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142413565","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}

We show that the Persson–Tosatti criterion does not depend on anisotropy of the surface for a typical power law PSD if written in terms of rms roughness and magnification. Instead, a very simple extension of the Bearing Area Model (BAM) of Ciavarella to anisotropic fractal surface shows a weak but clear dependence on the anisotropy, with higher adhesion in the 1D case, showing better agreement than the Persson–Tosatti criterion to actual numerical results of Afferrante Violano and Dini. However, neither of the two models permit to capture the strong hysteresis found in experiments between loading and unloading, which is very likely to enhance adhesion more as we move from the isotropic to the full 1D case.

Taking explicitly into account high flexibility of AFM tips, the developed theory reveals the autoparametric resonance to be a natural consequence of the rich dynamics of the combined tip–cantilever system. Besides the explanation of the observed friction force peaks, the theory predicts a dense multiplicity of smaller peaks to appear when the washboard frequency coincides with a rational part (m/n, with integer m and n) of the cantilever frequency. An important conclusion is made that the resonance enhancement of friction is independent of frequency of excited phonons, and it should manifest itself for any possible mechanism of frictional energy dissipation in the substrate, phononic, electronic, or any other.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252648","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}

Our results demonstrate that substrate damage decreases as acetylene coverage increases from sub-monolayer to multilayer. This suppression occurs due to the presence of acetylene molecules, which can suppress direct (Pt–Pt connection) and indirect (Pt–(C_<i>x</i>)–Pt-like connection) interfacial bonding between the two substrates, depending on their coverage. Moreover, we observed the formation of chain-like oligomers after multiple contact/separation simulations in the monolayer model, much more significantly compared with the sub-monolayer and multilayer models. These oligomers arise from polymerization reactions among fragmented acetylene molecules, primarily formed through acetylene dehydrogenation. In the sub-monolayer model, numerous transferred Pt atoms at the interface hinder bonding between acetylene fragments, whereas in the multilayer model, only a few acetylene fragments form during the contact process, due to the well-organized and dense acetylene layer adsorbed on the substrate surfaces.

Therefore, developing upgrade wheel-rail materials with enhanced contact fatigue properties has been considered an effective approach to avoid damage. This study reports a newly developed heavy-haul wheel steel with a superior rolling contact fatigue performance and the fatigue damage of wheel was studied by a novel RCF tester with a vision system. The results indicate that the newly developed heavy-haul wheel steel (NW) consists of smaller pearlite layer spacing and reduced proeutectoid ferrite. The NW steel demonstrates outstanding fatigue resistance in both oil and dry conditions, with a fatigue life 2.7 times longer than CL65 wheel steel and superior performance compared to most typical wheel steels. With increasing in pearlite content and decreasing in pearlitic interlamellar spacing, the fatigue damage degree of wheels under oil or dry contact conditions decreases obviously, leading to a significant enhancement in fatigue life. Properly controlling the pearlite content and the interlamellar spacing can optimize the fatigue properties of wheel materials. The vision system observed that the average area and perimeter of the defects gradually increased on the sample surface. The shape of the defect became more rounded under oil contact conditions but showed the opposite result in dry contact. When subjected to cyclic loading, surface cracks propagated along various paths after initiation, eventually forming different morphologies of peeling. The results will not only help optimize wheel materials for heavy-haul railways, but also offer an effective means for analyzing damage evolution in wheel-rail contact.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221004","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}

Given the severe thermomechanical loads during cutting, parametrization of friction models based on analogous experiments has been proven difficult, such that the cutting process itself is often used for calibration. Instead, our model is based on the real area of contact between rough surfaces and the stress required to shear adhesive micro contacts. We utilized microtextured cutting tools and their negative imprint on chips to orient chip and tool surfaces, enabling the determination of a combined surface roughness. This effective roughness was then applied in contact mechanics calculations using a penetration hardness model informed by indentation hardness measurements. Consistent with Bowden and Tabor theory, we observed that the fractional contact area increased linearly with the applied normal load, and the effective roughness remained insensitive to cutting fluid application. Additionally, we calculated the required shear stress as a function of normal load using DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations for a tribofilm formed at the interface, with its composition inferred from ex-situ XPS depth profiling of the cutting tools. Our friction model demonstrated good agreement with experimental results in two-dimensional FE chip forming simulations of orthogonal cutting processes, evaluated by means of cutting force, passive force, and contact length prediction.
