Tribological behavior of vegetable oil-based lubricants with nanoparticles of oxides in boundary lubrication conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work studied the development of vegetable based lubricants and the addition of oxides nanoparticles (ZnO and CuO) as additive for extreme pressure (EP), exploring the EP and oil base influence in tribological behavior. The results showed that with the addition of nanoparticles to conventional lubricant, the tribological properties can be significantly improved. A smoother and more compact tribofilm has formed on the worn surface, which is responsible for the further reduced friction and wear. Also, lubricants developed from modified vegetable oil can replace mineral oil, improving the tribological and environmental characteristics. However, the addition of nanoparticles in vegetable base lubricants is not beneficial to wear reduction. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملEvaluation Of Vapor Pressure And Ultra-High Vacuum Tribological Properties Of Ionic Liquids (2) Mixtures and Additives
Ionic liquids are salts, many of which are typically viscous fluids at room temperature. The fluids are characterized by negligible vapor pressures under ambient conditions. These properties have led us to study the effectiveness of ionic liquids containing both organic cations and anions for use as space lubricants. In the previous paper we have measured the vapor pressure and some tribologica...
متن کاملBasic study on the influence of liquid lubricant on contact state in cold forging processes
In cold forging processes the tribological conditions are very important for process feasibility and tool lifetime. Since boundary and mixed lubrication conditions are predominant in cold forging processes, the appearing real contact area which is influenced significantly by the topography of tool and workpiece has a major impact on the friction conditions. Against the background of current tre...
