The tribological performance of lubricating oils containing combined nanoparticles were determined by four-ball friction and wear tester, and the chemical composition of steel ball with worn surface were analyzed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectrurn（XPS）. The results showed that the lubricating oils containing combined nanoparticles had good anti-wear and friction reducing effects, and the tribological properties were optimal when WCeO2＋CaCO3=0.6%, WCeO2：WCaCO3=1：1. The extreme pressure value increased by 40.25%, the wear spot diameter reduced by 33.5%, and friction coefficient reduced by 32% compared with 40CD oil. The coordinated action of big and small particles made anti-wear and friction reducing effective. Tribological chemical reactions resulting from the friction surface formed metal calcium, metal cerium and oxides film, and they could fill up the concave surface and protect the worn surface.展开更多

The morphologies and chemical species of the worn surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscope （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope （XPS）, respectively. The test results indicated that the three fatty acyl amino acids could effectively improve the anti-wear and friction-reducing abilities of the HVI 350 mineral oil. The improvement in anti-wear and friction-reducing abilities of the mineral oil by the related amino acids was mainly ascribed to the formation of a composite boundary lubrication film due to the adsorption of amino acids on the friction surfaces.展开更多

Finally, correlation of the testing peak area and the fuel pollution level of corresponding samples were analyzed, and the regression equation was proposed. The results show that determining jet fuel pollution level of aviation lubricating oil by FTIR is feasible and reliable.

文摘The development of gradient lubrication materials is critical for numerous biomedical applications,particularly in magnifying mechanical properties and service longevity.Herein,we present an innovative approach to fabricate biomimetic gradient lubrication hydrogel through the synergistic integration of three-dimensional(3D)printed metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)nanoparticle network hydrogel skeletons with bioinspired lubrication design.Specifically,robust hydrogel skeletons were engineered through single or multi-material 3D printing,followed by the in situ growth of MOFs nanoparticles within this hydrogel network to create a reinforced,load-bearing architecture.Subsequently,biomimetic lubrication capability was enabled by mechanically coupling another lubricating hydrogel within 3D-printed MOFs nanoparticle network hydrogel skeleton.The superficial layer is highly lubricious to ensure low coefficient of friction(~0.1141)and wear resistance(40,000 cycles),while the deeper layer is stiffer to afford the obligatory mechanical support(fracture strength~2.50 MPa).Furthermore,the gradient architecture stiffness of the hydrogel can be modulated by manipulating the spatial distribution of MOFs within the 3D-printed hydrogel skeleton.As a proof-of-concept,biomimetic gradient hydrogel meniscus structures with C-and O-shaped configurations were constructed by leveraging multi-material 3D printing,demonstrating exceptional lubrication performance.This innovative biomimetic design opens new avenues for creating implantable biomedical gradient lubricating materials with reinforced mechanical and lubrication performance.

文摘Early knee osteoarthritis(KOA)is characterized by progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage,synovial inflammation,and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS).At present,intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid(HA)is widely used to alleviate symptoms;however,its lubrication persistence,antioxidant,and anti-inflammatory abilities are limited,and it is difficult to effectively delay the early process of cartilage degeneration.Based on this,hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid(HA-LA)was synthesized by esterification reaction,and HA-LA microspheres were prepared by a reversed-phase emulsion method,which was combined with a macromolecular HA-LA solution to form injectable hydrogels.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an injectable hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid microspheres(HA-LA MS)for the treatment of KOA and to verify its injectability,lubricity,reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects.The results show that the HA-LA MS hydrogel has excellent shear thinning characteristics and continuous injectability,and its microsphere structure significantly reduces the interfacial friction coefficient through the rolling effect.In vitro experiments have shown that the hydrogel can efficiently scavenge ROS,reduce the expression of inflammatory factors,and is non-cytotoxic.The HA-LA MS injectable hydrogel has excellent lubricity,ROS scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo,which can effectively delay the degeneration of early KOA cartilage,and its efficacy is significantly better than that of traditional hyaluronic acid,making it a promising intra-articular injection preparation.
文摘Floating ring bearings are widely used in high-speed turbomachinery such as turbochargers and turbogenerators.Research-ers have recently explored various surface texturing strategies on the inner surface of floating rings to enhance bearing performance.In this study,the herring patterns are textured on the inner surface of the floating ring.This pattern is inspired by the secondary flight feathers of the Indian pigeon,which aid the bird in reducing viscous drag during flight.The result-ing Herringbone Textured Floating Ring Bearing(HTFRB)is investigated for its potential application in locomotive turbo-chargers.The HTFRB is numerically modeled using the Reynolds equation to evaluate the bearing's pressure distribution and static characteristics,including load-carrying capacity,power loss,and side leakage.Dynamic characteristics are determined by solving the zeroth-and first-order perturbed Reynolds equation.A Sobol sensitivity analysis is conducted to quantify the influence of groove parameters-helix angle,groove depth,groove width ratio,and number of grooves-on bearing performance metrics.An artificial intelligence-based optimization framework,integrating artificial neural networks and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems,is developed to maximize load carrying capacity while minimiz-ing power loss,side leakage,and friction coefficient.The optimized texture parameters obtained from this framework are employed to validate the ANN model and evaluate the static and dynamic characteristics of the HTFRB.The dynamic coefficients of the HTFRB are further employed to evaluate the stability and robustness of the turbocharger rotor-HTFRB system.This study underscores the potential of combining bio-inspired texture design with numerical modeling and AI-based optimization to develop high-performance HTFRB.

文摘The pursuit of simultaneously high wear resistance and excellent lubrication in multi‐principal element alloy(MPEA)composites is often hindered by a fundamental trade‐off,which is exacerbated by the agglomeration of high‐content graphene reinforcements.This compromise becomes particularly severe in composites with high‐content graphene reinforcements,whose agglomeration leads to embrittlement and lubrication failure.Here,a flake powder-metallurgy strategy is developed to construct a self‐assembled lamellar structure in graphene/CoCrNi MPEA composites(Gr/MPEA_(AL)).This approach enables the uniform dispersion of a high graphene content(3.0 wt%),which is unattainable by conventional methods.The resulting composite exhibits a rare dual enhancement in performance:an order‐of‐magnitude improvement in wear resistance coupled with a low coefficient of friction.Intriguingly,the tribological behavior shows significant anisotropy,with optimal performance observed when sliding perpendicular to the lamellae.Through a multi‐scale methodology combining molecular dynamics simulations,finite element analysis,and systematic experiments,it is revealed that this exceptional performance stems from the synergy of high‐density deformation nanotwins,efficient strain delocalization,and abundant graphene‐derived lubricating sites.This work establishes a general paradigm for designing composite architectures that reconcile traditionally incompatible properties,offering broad implications for developing next‐generation structural materials with integrated mechanical robustness and surface functionality for safety‐critical applications.

文摘The aging behaviors and mechanism of fluoroelastomer(FKM)under lubricating oil(FKM-O)and air(FKM-A,as a comparison)at elevated temperatures were studied from both physical and chemical viewpoints.The obvious changes of mechanical and swelling performances indicate that the coupling effect of lubricating oil and temperature causes more serious deterioration of FKM-O compared to that of FKM-A.Meanwhile,much stronger temperature dependence of both bulk properties and micro-structures for FKM-O is found.Three-stage physical diffusion process is defined in FKM-O due to the competition between oil diffusion and elastic retraction of network.FTIR results reveal that the dehydrofluorination reaction causes the fracture of C-F bonds and produces a large number of C=C bonds in the backbone.The coupling effect of oil medium and high temperature could accelerate the scission of C=C bonds and generate a series of fragments with different molecular sizes.The TGA results,crosslinking density Ve,and glass transition temperature Tg derived from different measurements coherently demonstrate the network destruction in the initial stage and the simultaneous reconstruction occurring at the final stage.The newly formed local network induced by reconstruction cannot compensate the break of the original rubber network and thus only provides lower tensile strength and thermal stability.

文摘The ceria （CeO2） nanoparticles and calcium carbonate （CaCO3） nanoparticles were chosen as additives of anti-wear and extreme pressure for lubricating oils, and the morphology and sizes of nanoparticles were examined using Transmission Electron Microscope （TEM）. The tribological performance of lubricating oils containing combined nanoparticles were determined by four-ball friction and wear tester, and the chemical composition of steel ball with worn surface were analyzed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectrurn（XPS）. The results showed that the lubricating oils containing combined nanoparticles had good anti-wear and friction reducing effects, and the tribological properties were optimal when WCeO2＋CaCO3=0.6%, WCeO2：WCaCO3=1：1. The extreme pressure value increased by 40.25%, the wear spot diameter reduced by 33.5%, and friction coefficient reduced by 32% compared with 40CD oil. The coordinated action of big and small particles made anti-wear and friction reducing effective. Tribological chemical reactions resulting from the friction surface formed metal calcium, metal cerium and oxides film, and they could fill up the concave surface and protect the worn surface.

文摘The friction and wear characteristics of lauroyl glutamine, lauroyl glycine and lauroyl alanine, used as green additives in HVI 350 mineral lubricating oil, were evaluated on a four-ball tribotester. The morphologies and chemical species of the worn surfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscope （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope （XPS）, respectively. The test results indicated that the three fatty acyl amino acids could effectively improve the anti-wear and friction-reducing abilities of the HVI 350 mineral oil. The improvement in anti-wear and friction-reducing abilities of the mineral oil by the related amino acids was mainly ascribed to the formation of a composite boundary lubrication film due to the adsorption of amino acids on the friction surfaces.
