The results show that the shape of polarization curves changes with concentration. The critical 'passive' concentration is 0.009 mol/L for X80 pipeline steel in bicarbonate solutions. No anodic current peak exists in solutions when the concentration is lower than 0.009 mol/L, whereas there are one and two anodic current peaks when the concentration ranges from 0.009 to 0.05 mol/L and is higher than 0.1 mol/L, respectively. DEIS measurements show that there exist active dissolution range, transition range, pre-passive range, passive layer formation range, passive range, and trans-passive range for X80 pipeline steel in the 0.1 mol/L solutions. The results of DEIS measurements are in complete agreement with the potentiodynamic diagram. An equivalent circuit containing three sub-layers is used to explain the Nyquist plots in the passive range. Analyses are well made for explaining the corresponding fitted capacitance and impedance. The Mott-Schottky plots show that the passive film of X80 pipeline steel is an n-type semiconductor, and capacitance measurements are in good accordance with the results of DEIS experiment.展开更多

The experimental results show that the shear strength of polyurethane adhesive in salt water is decreased more quickly than that in water. Na^+ and Cl^- ions could make the polyurethane adhesive age faster and the interface metal corrosion. The high temperature accelerates the diffusion of water molecule, Na^+ and Cl^- ions and the degradation of the giant molecule.展开更多

Two patterns based on physical vapor deposition (PVD) TiN coatings were used, such as, in-lined (IN) and staggered (ST) spots. The tribological behaviors were evaluated by using a Cameron-Plint wear test rig. The M2 steel discs deposited TiN coatings with IN and ST patterns slid against the ASSAB 17 tool steel pins at a speed of 0.23 m/s, in Shell Tellus T32 lubricant and were loaded with 900 N. The testing results on disc specimens with two types of PVD TiN spot patterns, all coated with a bias voltage of-180 V and slid for 4, 8 and 11 h respectively, were presented. The results revealed that the in-lined coatings possessed relatively better wear behaviors than the staggered pattern coatings. Mechanisms for such superiority and for the cause of peeling were discussed. A relevant design approach was suggested for the application of such patterned coatings.展开更多

The effect of gas pressure and environmental condition on performance of materials is usually not considered. Thus, data from friction tests are not precise. In this paper, a new atmosphere tribometer is developed to study the tribological behavior of materials under severe rugged atmosphere. A fail-safe analysis is performed through reproducibility, comparability, and sensitivity tests. The tribometer allows tests to be performed in block-circle disc line contact, pin-circle disc line contact, and block-circle disc face contact configurations at controlled atmosphere and gas pressure. A self-centering plant is designed to settle the poor contact problem. A pin-on-disk test is conducted, and the test results indicate that the proposed design is efficient. A combined sealing style is introduced to control gas leaks. Compared with other sealing styles, the combined sealing is found to meet the experiment requirements best. And the reproducibility, comparability, and sensitivity tests validate the performance of the tribometer. The designed atmosphere tribometer reliably simulates the friction test under extremely harsh conditions, enhances the ability for material tribological properties test, and ensures accuracy of the tribological data.展开更多

Then the molecule orientation principle of nonpolar and polar functional groups in the polymers was analyzed. And the contact angles of pure water drops on the surfaces of various fluoro-monomer homopolymers and interpolymers were measured. So the relation of polymers' fluoro-content with the surface energy was determined. The distribution of fluoric functional groups in the polymers was investigated. And the test results show that though the total fluorine content of the fluorocarbon polymers is relative few, their surface energy is really low due to the enrichment of fluoro-chains on the polymers surface.展开更多

The microstructure indicated that the infiltrated composite layer included surface composite layer and transition layer. Wear property was investigated under room temperature and 450 ~C. The results indicated that the abrasion volume of substrate was 8 times that of the infiltrated composite layer at room temperature. The friction coefficient of infiltrated composite layer decreased with the increasing load. The wear resistance of infiltrated composite layer with different ZrO2 contents had been improved obviously under high temperature. The friction coefficient of infiltrated composite layer was decreased comparing with that at room temperature. The oxidation, abrasive and fatigue abrasion was the main wear mechanism at room temperature. Oxidation abrasion, fatigue wear and adhesive wear dominated the wearin~ process under elevated temperature.展开更多

And its molecular structure is confirmed by IR and multielement oil analyzer (MOA). The tribological performances of the organotin as lubricant additive are evaluated with a four-ball friction and wear tester. These experiments indicate that the wear scar diameter (WSD) and friction coefficient are diminished while the load-carrying capability increased by comparison with that of base oil. The elemental composition of the boundary lubricating film is examined by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Synergistic effect is found in the load-carrying capability of the complex of SN and sulfured olefin. The analytical results of AES indicate that the good performance of stannous naphthenate is attributed to the formation of a boundary lubricating film containing Sn on the rubbed surface.展开更多

Correlation coefficient of the cross-validation (include internal q2 and external qpred 2 ) and conventional correlation coefficient showed the model to be both stable and good predictive. The electron-donating group and larger steric effects group are adopted at the para-position or meta-position of amido on the benzene ring, and suitably decreasing the branch chain near the para-position, these indicate that the antioxidant performance of amine additives can be enhanced. The results not only can help us understanding the rule of antioxidant performance, but also providing guidance(s) to predict antioxidant performance of existing amine additives and to design or modify new amine additives in lubricating oil.展开更多

文摘The passivation process of X80 pipeline steel in bicarbonate solutions was investigated using potentiodynamic, dynamic electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS), and Mott-Schottky measurements. The results show that the shape of polarization curves changes with concentration. The critical 'passive' concentration is 0.009 mol/L for X80 pipeline steel in bicarbonate solutions. No anodic current peak exists in solutions when the concentration is lower than 0.009 mol/L, whereas there are one and two anodic current peaks when the concentration ranges from 0.009 to 0.05 mol/L and is higher than 0.1 mol/L, respectively. DEIS measurements show that there exist active dissolution range, transition range, pre-passive range, passive layer formation range, passive range, and trans-passive range for X80 pipeline steel in the 0.1 mol/L solutions. The results of DEIS measurements are in complete agreement with the potentiodynamic diagram. An equivalent circuit containing three sub-layers is used to explain the Nyquist plots in the passive range. Analyses are well made for explaining the corresponding fitted capacitance and impedance. The Mott-Schottky plots show that the passive film of X80 pipeline steel is an n-type semiconductor, and capacitance measurements are in good accordance with the results of DEIS experiment.

文摘The Ni/ZrO2 was used as raw materials to fabricate the surface infiltrated composite layer with 1-4 mm thickness on cast steel substrate through vacuum infiltrated casting technology. The microstructure indicated that the infiltrated composite layer included surface composite layer and transition layer. Wear property was investigated under room temperature and 450 ~C.

The wear resistance of infiltrated composite layer with different ZrO2 contents had been improved obviously under high temperature. The friction coefficient of infiltrated composite layer was decreased comparing with that at room temperature. The oxidation, abrasive and fatigue abrasion was the main wear mechanism at room temperature. Oxidation abrasion, fatigue wear and adhesive wear dominated the wearin~ process under elevated temperature.
文摘Oil-soluble stannous naphthenate (SN) is synthesized by using naphthenatic acid and SnO. And its molecular structure is confirmed by IR and multielement oil analyzer (MOA). The tribological performances of the organotin as lubricant additive are evaluated with a four-ball friction and wear tester. These experiments indicate that the wear scar diameter (WSD) and friction coefficient are diminished while the load-carrying capability increased by comparison with that of base oil. The elemental composition of the boundary lubricating film is examined by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Synergistic effect is found in the load-carrying capability of the complex of SN and sulfured olefin. The analytical results of AES indicate that the good performance of stannous naphthenate is attributed to the formation of a boundary lubricating film containing Sn on the rubbed surface.

文摘Using special testers,the triboelectric behaviors of several materials were investigated in this paper under the conditions of high speeds and large currents.The obtained results revealed that the tribological behaviors and current-conducting characteristics have complicated interrelationships.Worsening in the servicing conditions can obviously deteriorate the tribological as well as electrical behaviors;high sliding speeds and large electrical currents can worsen the tribological and electrical conductivity properties,while an appropriate contact pressure can benefit the electrical contact properties.Further analyses reveal that the worsening effects of the above factors,such as frictional heat,arc discharge,arc heat,and surface morphology,result in poor triboelectric contact performance.Among these,the electric arc is one of the most serious factors,because the occurrence of an electric arc may cause severe oxidation,melting,and roughening of the contact surface,thereby causing deterioration in the current-conducting quality as well as material loss.

文摘Cutting is an essential and complicated process in many fields.Efficient and low-consumption cutting operations are of great significance for environmental protection and energy conservation.The development of high performance cutting parts relies on a deep understanding of the cutting process and cutting mechanism.In this research,a new type of cutting test bench with high-speed photography was developed,and the cutting tests were conducted on the jute fiber bundle from quasi-static cutting at 10 mm/s to dynamic cutting in the speed range of 0.6-2.4 m/s.The cutting process was captured by a high-speed camera.Analysis shows that compression exists before quasi-static cutting,and the compression force curve with respect to the compression ratio follows an exponential function.The cutting speed has a significant effect on cutting energy.The cutting energy consumption is not a monotonous function of cutting speed owing to the combined effect of elastic deformation and friction of fibers.The cutting energy increases with increasing cutting speed in the range of 0.6-1.2 m/s due to the increase of the friction within fibers and the friction between the blade and fibers.The cutting energy decreases with increasing cutting speed in the range of 1.2-1.8 m/s,and tends to be a fixed value when the cutting speed exceeds 1.8 m/s due to the stabilized elastic deformation and friction coefficient.From the perspective of energy saving,it is meaningless to increase the blade speed excessively when cutting fiber bundles.

文摘Seven kinds of used mineral lubricating oils,including hydraulic oils,film bearing oils,steam turbine oil and gear oils,were recycled by reclamation and adding additives.Physical and chemical properties of the recycled oils were measured and their lubrication performances were evaluated by the original and modified four-ball testers.Worn surfaces were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman microscope.The recycling costs of burning,re-refined and refortified were estimated.Results showed that physical and chemical properties of the refortified oils were improved effectively and became in the industrial access standard.With the different friction materials under different loads,refortified oils provided excellent lubrication performances,much better than those of fresh oils.Because of additives replenished,the different lubrication films could form on the worn surfaces.A rough financial calculation revealed that the refortification process could produce the most economic value among the three methods.

文摘A new laboratory evaluation method for the coating blade was developed,and the tribological properties of coating blades with different Ti-based coatings were studied by UMT-2 tribometer.Comparison between the areas of scratches before and after the cutting experiment was used to evaluate the cutting performance of the blades.Results showed that friction coefficient of TiAlCrN/TiAlN coating was significantly lower than that of TiAlSiN coating.Analysis of the worn surface revealed that the TiAlSiN and TiAlCrN/TiAlN coatings in the dry turning process exhibited sign of inhomogeneous adhesive wear and abrasive wear.TiAlCrN/TiAlN coating has a longer working life and better anti-wear property because of its duplex coating.

文摘Available model of 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR, the method of TopomerCoMFA) has been used to establish relationship between antioxidant performances of lubricating oil (trimethylolpropane trioleate, TMPTO) with 15 kinds of amine additives and its molecular structure. Correlation coefficient of the cross-validation (include internal q2 and external qpred 2 ) and conventional correlation coefficient showed the model to be both stable and good predictive. The electron-donating group and larger steric effects group are adopted at the para-position or meta-position of amido on the benzene ring, and suitably decreasing the branch chain near the para-position, these indicate that the antioxidant performance of amine additives can be enhanced. The results not only can help us understanding the rule of antioxidant performance, but also providing guidance(s) to predict antioxidant performance of existing amine additives and to design or modify new amine additives in lubricating oil.
