The tribological properties of hybrid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/aramid fibers 1414 (Kevlar) fabric self-lubricating composite under different conditions was studied. To improve tribological properties and the bonding performance of PTFE, the hybrid Kevlar/PTFE fabrics were treated by sodium-naphthalene complex liquid. PTFE/Kevlar fabric composite was prepared by phenolic-epoxy (6:4) resin. Tribological properties of the composite, friction coefficient and wear amount, were analyzed using varying loads and speeds on a friction and wear testing machine. Worn surface morphology and transfer film were observed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the coefficient of friction decreased with the decrease of load and the increase of rotating speed. In addition, the composites with higher PTFE content showed better lubricating behavior. The friction coefficient of the composites reinforced by modified fabrics were more stable and the PTFE transfer film remains more complete.

Corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of W doped DLC coating in artificial seawater

Electroless nickel boron (Ni-B) coatings are finding their applications in the aerospace, automotive, chemical and electrical industries due to their properties such as high hardness and high wear resistance. However, Ni-B coatings generally show high friction. They also suffered from severe attacks in aqueous solution containing Cl− ion. In this paper, the experiments are carried out to reduce the friction and improve corrosion resistant properties of Ni-B coating by PTFE impregnation. It is found that Ni-B coating after impregnated by an aqueous solution containing 40 wt% PTFE nanoparticles is able to withstand a rubbing test duration of 3600 s with the coefficient of friction as low as

Corrosion and tribological performance of PTFE-coated electroless nickel boron coatings

Titanium alloy shows a poor tribological performance even under lubrication. In this paper, we report the formation of carbon-based tribofilms from poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) base oil molecules on Ti6Al4V (Ti64) samples after thermal oxidization treatment, where PAO enabling base oils to provide not only the fluid but also the solid tribofilm. Ball-on-disk tests at contact pressures of 2.0 GPa reveal that these carbon-based tribofilms on thermally oxidized Ti64 samples decrease the friction coefficient by about 3 times and wear rate by up to 2 orders magnitude as comparing to untreated one.

Lubricating behavior of Submicrometer carbon spheres as lubricant additives

Increasing wear resistance of aluminum alloys is of great importance for their practical application. In this paper, we have studied the tribological performance of the assembly of stearic acid on aluminum coated by sol–gel-derived alumina film. The samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and a macro-friction and wear tester. The results show that the combination of stearic acid modification and sol–gel-derived alumina film can create superhydrophobic surfaces with a water contact angle of 155° and a sliding angle of 25°. As-obtained superhydrophobic surface can effectively reduced friction and largely increased antiwear life of aluminum, due to the combined beneficial effects of antiwear performance of sol–gel-derived alumina film and nanolubrication of self-assembled stearic acid overcoat.
