一种新的自润滑铜-石墨-NbSe_2复合材料的合成及摩擦性能研究

研究了NbSe2的添加对铜-石墨固体自润滑材料的影响,采用粉末冶金法将制备的不同质量百分比含量的纤维状或片层状的纳米NbSe2材料与铜粉、石墨粉混合均匀,冷压制成小圆盘。采用光学显微镜,SEM(JSM-7001F扫描电子显微镜)等手段表征表面形貌。并在超低温摩擦磨损机和UMT-2摩擦试验仪上测试其摩擦性能。实验结果表明,两种NbSe2的加入使铜-石墨复合材料电阻率降低了近一半;常温常压下,添加了纤维状的NbSe2较片层状具有更好的摩擦学性能,在高载荷下甚至优于铜-石墨复合材料,在真空状态下,无论添加纤维状的还是片层状的NbSe2,复合材料的摩擦系数都远低于铜-石墨复合材料(M为0.257),并且两者在NbSe2添加质量百分比含量6%时达到最低,即铜-石墨-6%纤维状NbSe2为0.189,铜-石墨-6%片层状NbSe2为0.205。

Influence of Ti target current on microstructure and properties of Ti-doped graphite-like carbon films

Ti-doped graphite-like carbon （Ti-GLC） films were synthesized successfully by magnetron sputtering technique. The compositions, microstructures and properties of the Ti-doped GLC films dependent on the parameter of Ti target current were systemically investigated by Raman spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, atomic force microscopy （AFM）, nanoindentation and ball-on-disk tribometer. With the increase of the Ti target current, the ratio of sp2 bond and the content of Ti as well as the film hardness and compressive internal stress increase, but the high content of the Ti would result in the loose film due to the formation of the squamose structure. Less incorporated Ti reduces the friction of the GLC film in dry-sliding condition, while pure GLC film exhibits the lowest friction coefficient in water-lubricated condition. Ti-GLC film deposited with low Ti target current shows high wear resistance in both dry-sliding and water-lubricated conditions.

Effect of chemical conditioning on the triboelectrification of coal and mineral particles

Chemical conditioning was used to modify the triboelectrification of coal and mineral particles.The chemicals tested included starch,lignin,kerosene,ethanol,acetic acid,salicylic acid,sodium oleate,Sodium Hexametaphosphate(SH),sodium silicate, Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate(SDBS),Sodium Bicarbonate(SB) and ammonia.A high-speed,dry mixing method was employed.The charge-to-mass ratio of the coal and mineral samples,both untreated and treated,was tested using a Faraday cup. Dielectric constants were determined by measuring capacitance.It is found that the selectivity of the additives toward coal or minerals is not consistent.Salicylic acid is the optimal additive to enhance the triboelectrification performance of coal samples.Starch, lignin and sodium oleate are suitable for removal of pyrite.SH,sodium silicate,SDBS,SB and ammonia are suitable additives for the removal of ash-forming minerals.

Effect of arc re-melting on microstructure,mechanical and tribological properties of commercial 390A alloy

To investigate the effect of the arc re-melting on the microstructure,mechanical and tribological properties of the 390 A alloy,its ingot produced by the conventional induction melting method was subjected to the arc re-melting process.The microstructure of the 390 A alloy was examined by OM and SEM.Mechanical properties of the 390 A alloy were determined by the Brinell method and tensile tests.Tribological properties were investigated with a ball-on-disc type tester.It was observed that the microstructure of both conventional induction melted and arc re-melted 390 A alloys consisted ofα(Al),eutectic Al-12 Si,primary silicon particles,θ-CuAl_(2),β-Al_(5) FeSi,δ-Al_(4) FeSi_(2),andα-Al_(15)(FeMnCu)3 Si_(2) phases.Re-melting with the arc process caused grain refinement in these phases.In addition,after this process,theα(Al)phase and primary silicon particles were dispersed more uniformly,and sharp edges of primary silicon particles became round.The arc re-melting process resulted in an increase in the hardness of the 390 A alloy produced by the conventional method from 102 HB to 118 HB and the tensile strength from 130 to 240 MPa.It also caused an increase in the wear resistance of the 390 A alloy and a decrease in the friction coefficient.

Preparation of Tungsten Film and Its Tribological Properties under Boundary Lubrication Conditions

Tungsten film(W film) is deposited by using the ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD) on the 316 L substrate surface in this experiment. The micro structure and nano-hardness of the film are investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and nano-indentation tester. The tribological behavior of W film under lubrication by oil with ZDDP and MoDTC is evaluated by a SRV test machine. The tribo-film formed on the worn surfaces is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) to find out the tribological mechanisms between the W film and the two additional additives. The result shows that the W film lubricated by ZDDP and MoDTC-blended base oil has synergistic effects on the friction reduction property, while the anti-wear property is mainly caused by the hard surface of W film.

Microstructure,tribological behavior and magnetic properties of Fe−Ni−TiO_(2) composite coatings synthesized via pulse frequency variation

The Fe−Ni−TiO_(2) nanocomposite coatings were electrodeposited by pulse frequency variation.The results showed that the nanocomposite with a very dense coating surface and a nanocrystalline structure was produced at higher frequencies.By increasing the pulse frequency from 10 to 500 Hz,the iron and TiO_(2) nanoparticles contents were increased in expense of nickel content.XRD patterns showed that by increasing the frequency to 500 Hz,an enhancement of BCC phase was observed and the grain size of deposits was reduced to 35 nm.The microhardness and the surface roughness were increased to 647 HV and 125 nm at 500 Hz due to the grain size reduction and higher incorporation of TiO_(2) nanoparticles into the Fe−Ni matrix(5.13 wt.%).Moreover,the friction coefficient and wear rate values were decreased by increasing the pulse frequency;while the saturation magnetization and coercivity values of the composite deposits were increased.

Self-powered electrochromic devices with tunable infrared intensity

Triboelectric nanogenerator （TENG） is an efficient way to convert ambient mechanical energy into electricity to power up portable electronics. In this work, a flexible inflared electrochromical device （IR-ECD） with stable performances was assembled with a TENG for building self-powered infrared detector with tunable intensity. As driven by TENG, the electrochromic device could be operated in the mid-lR region due to the reversible electrochromic reactions. An average infrared reflectance contrast of 46% was achieved in 8-14 μm regions and as well a clear thermal image change can be observed. This work indicates that the TENG-driven infrared electrochromical device has potential for use in self-powered camouflage and tbermal control.

Nano-tribology through molecular dynamics simulations

The solidification and interfacial slip in nanometer-scale lubricating films as well as the contact and adhesion of metal crystals have been studied via molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the critical pressure for the solid-liquid transition declines as the film thickness decreases, in-dicating that the lubricant in the thin films may exist in a solid-like state. It is also found that the interfa-cial slip may occur in thin films at relatively low shear rate, and there is a good correlation between the slip phenomenon and the lubricant solidification. The simulations reveal that a micro-scale adhesion may take place due to the atomic jump during the process of approaching or separating of two smooth crystal surfaces, which provides important information for understanding the origin of interfacial friction.
