The results indicate that the friction and wear of the magnesium alloy-steel tribomates could be effectively reduced by formulating SRO into rapeseed oil lubricant. The friction coefficients and the wear volumes of magnesium alloy decrease with increasing contents of SRO. The surface lubricated with SRO-doped rapeseed oil was characterized by less wear as compared with that lubricated with neat rapeseed oil. The enhanced anti-wear and friction-reducing abilities of rapeseed oil by SRO in the lubrication of magnesium alloy against steel were ascribed to the formation of a composite boundary lubrication film due to the strong adsorption of SRO and rapeseed oil onto the lubricated surfaces and their tribochemical reactions with magnesium alloy.展开更多

The structures of the two NdDDPs were determined using IR and XRD. Properties of anti-wear and friction-reducing of the two additives were investigated with four ball experiment and the commercial anti-wear additive ZDDP was selected as control. The elemental analysis of the wear scars after 10 s friction at low stress were investigated by EDXA （Energy Dispersion Analysis of X-ray）. Primary results showed that the NdDDPs possess better lubrication ability than ZDDP. This might mainly be contributed to the formation of a boundary film containing Nd2O3, FeS and sulphate, phosphate, organo-sulfide, etc., and a neodymium-rich diffused layer which changes the crystal structure of the surface of friction materials.展开更多

In the present paper, the tribological properties of rapeseed oil under different intensity of electromagnetic field and normal loads were evaluated on a modified tribo-tester. The results indicated that the electromagnetic field could improve the anti-wear and friction-reducing property of the rapeseed oil. Furthermore, the influencing mechanisms were discussed from the perspective of electromagnetism according to the analytical results of SEM, EDS and XPS techniques.展开更多
