Tribological Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene, Nano-Titanium Dioxide, and Nano-Silicon Dioxide as Additives in Mixed Oil-Based Titanium Complex Grease

چکیده
Eight titanium complex greases (i.e., benzoic acid/stearic acid and sebacic acid/stearic acid titanium complex greases, and greases containing PTFE, or nanotitanium dioxide, or nano-silicon dioxide) were synthesized using 3-L reaction vessel. Their physical characteristics were characterized and their tribological properties were evaluated by using a four-ball tester. Chemical compositions of the boundary films generated on worn surfaces were analyzed with the use of scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Results show titanium complex greases containing PTFE, or nano-titanium dioxide, or nano-silicon dioxide exhibited excellent tribological performance. The mechanism for the frictionreduction and antiwear effect of all titanium complex greases was also proposed and discussed from a tribochemistry point of view.

متن کاملA Characteristic-based Numerical Simulation of Water-titanium Dioxide Nano-fluid in Closed Domains
A new characteristic-based method is developed and used for solving the mixed and forced convection problems. The nano-fluid flow with heat transfer is simulated with a novel characteristic-based scheme in closed domains with different aspect ratios. For this purpose, a FORTRAN code has been written and developed. Water as a pure fluid and water-titanium dioxide as a nano-fluid were considered....
