不同表面形貌的接触线对浸金属碳滑板载流摩擦磨损性能的影响

在受电弓-接触网载流摩擦磨损过程中,接触线会产生不同的横截面形状,而接触线形貌的改变可能会影响弓网间的接触关系,进而影响弓网间的载流摩擦磨损性能。为研究不同表面形貌的接触线对浸金属碳滑板载流摩擦磨损性能的影响,利用环-块式高速载流摩擦磨损试验机,研究载流条件下常规形貌、麻点形貌、斜切形貌的接触线与浸金属碳滑板的摩擦磨损性能,比较采用不同形貌接触线时的摩擦因数、电弧能量和浸金属碳滑板的磨损量、表面形貌。试验结果表明:在直流电情况下,常规接触线与浸金属碳滑板组成的摩擦副的摩擦因数最小,滑板磨损量最低;采用斜切形貌接触线时的摩擦因数最大,滑板磨损量最大。通过SEM电镜观测浸金属碳滑板表面的磨损形貌,发现接触线为常规形貌时,滑板以氧化磨损为主,有较多的氧化物产生;接触线为麻点形貌时,滑板以电弧烧蚀和磨粒磨损为主,产生了细小裂纹和烧蚀坑,有较多的磨屑和剥落层出现;接触线为斜切形貌时,滑板以电弧烧蚀为主,有大裂纹和犁沟产生,并且烧蚀区域出现了较多的白色小球。研究表明,当接触线的形貌发生改变时,会导致滑板磨耗增加并加剧接触副电弧放电,从而恶化接触副的状态。因此,当接触线磨损变形严重时,应及时进行更换。

Predictions of friction and flash temperature in marine gears based on a 3D line contact mixed lubrication model considering measured surface roughness

Wear and scuffing failures often occur in marine transmission gears due to high friction and flash temperature at the interface between the meshing-teeth.In this paper,a numerical solution procedure was developed for the predictions of transient friction and flash temperature in the marine timing gears during one meshing circle based on the 3D line contact mixed lubrication simulation,which had been verified by comparing the flash temperature with those from Blok’s theory.The effect of machined surface roughness on the mixed lubrication characteristics is studied.The obtained results for several typical gear pairs indicate that gear pair 4-6 exhibits the largest friction and the highest interfacial temperature increase due to severe rough surface asperity contacts,while the polished gear surfaces yield the smallest friction and the lowest interfacial temperature.In addition,the influences of the operating conditions and the gear design parameters on the friction-temperature behaviors are discussed.It is observed that the conditions of heavy load and low rotational velocity usually lead to significantly increased friction and temperature.In the meantime,by optimizing the gear design parameters,such as the modulus and the pressure angle,the performance of interfacial friction and temperature can be significantly improved.

Superhydrophobic modification of ceramic membranes for vacuum membrane distillation

The hydrophobically modi fied ceramic membranes have great potential for energy-ef ficient membrane distillation.In this work,flat-sheet ceramic membranes with a superhydrophobic surface were fabricated by grafting 1H,1H,2H,2H-per fluorooctyltrichlorosilane or 1H,1H,2H,2H-per fluorodecyltriethoxysilane and followed by ultraviolet irradiation.The surface water contact angle was improved from 46° of original ceramic membrane to 159°,which exhibited a stable and excellent superhydrophobic effect.The modi fied membranes showed a high flux of 27.28 kg·m^(-2)·h^(-1) and simultaneously maintained an excellent retention rate of 99.99%,when used in vacuum membrane distillation process for treatment of a 1 wt% NaCl(75 °C) aqueous solution.These results suggested that superhydrophobic modi fication of ceramic surface is a facile and cost-effective way to achieve higher membrane distillation performance.The superhydrophobically-modi fied ceramic membrane with an excellent desalination capacity would show considerable potential in practical membrane distillation utilizations.

Effect of triple-phase contact line on contact angle hysteresis

Recent studies have shown that the triple-phase contact line has critical effect on the contact angle hysteresis of surfaces.In this study,patterned surfaces with various surface structures of different area fractions were prepared by electron etching on a silicon wafer.The advancing angle,receding angle and hysteresis angle of these surfaces were measured.Our experimental results showed that while the geometry of microstructure and contact line have a minor effect on the advancing angle,they have a significant effect on the receding angle and thus the hysteresis angle.We have shown that the effect of microstructure and the contact line can be described by a quantitative parameter termed the triple-phase line ratio.The theoretical predictions were in good agreement with our experimental results.

Quasi-static motion of microparticles at the depinning contact line of an evaporating droplet on PDMS surface

In this paper, evaporation of sessile water droplets containing fluorescent polystyrene （PS） microparticles on polydimethylsiloxane （PDMS） surfaces with different curing ratios was studied experimentally using laser confocal microscopy. At the beginning, there were some microparticles located at the contact line and some microparticles moved towards the line. Due to contact angle hysteresis, at first both the contact line and the microparticles were pinned. With the depinning contact line, the microparticles moved together spontaneously. Using the software Image J, the location of contact lines at different time were acquired and the circle centers and radii of the contact lines were obtained via the least square method. Then the average distance of two neighbor contact lines at a certain time interval was obtained to characterize the motion of the contact line. Fitting the distance-time curve at the depinning contact line stage with polynomials and differentiating the polynomials with time, we obtained the velocity and acceleration of both the contact line and the microparticles located at the line. The velocity and the maximum acceleration were, respectively, of the orders of 1 p.m/s and 20-200 nm/s2, indicating that the motion of the microparticles located at the depinning contact line was quasi-static. Finally, we presented a theoretical model to describe the quasi-static process, which may help in understanding both self-pinning and depinning of microparticles.
