Book Self Lubricating Composites

Download or read book Self Lubricating Composites written by Pradeep L. Menezes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most tribological applications, liquid or grease based lubricants are used to facilitate the relative motion of solid bodies to minimize friction and wear between interacting surfaces. The challenges for liquid lubricants arise in extreme environmental conditions, such as very high or low temperatures, vacuum, radiation, and extreme contact pressure. At these conditions, solid lubricants may be the alternative choice which can help to decrease friction and wear without incorporating liquid lubricants. Challenges with solid lubricants are to maintain a continuous supply of solid lubricants on the contact surfaces to act as lubricous layer between two sliding surfaces. Such a continuous supply is more easily maintained in the case of liquid lubricants when compared to solid lubricants. The most innovative development to ensure a continuous supply of solid lubricant to the contact surface during sliding is to introduce solid lubricant as reinforcement into the matrix of one of the sliding components. Composite materials are engineered or naturally occurring materials which contain two or more distinct constituents with significantly different chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Composites consist of reinforcement and matrix (metal, polymer and ceramics). Among various reinforcements, recent emerging material, solid lubricant, is found to have many favorable attributes such as good lubrication property. Self‐lubrication is the ability of a material to provide lubrication to the contact surface to decrease friction and wear rate in the absence of an external lubricant by transferring embedded solid lubricants in the composite to the interface. Self-lubricating composites (SLCs) are an important category of engineering materials that are increasingly replacing a number of conventional materials in the automotive, aerospace, and marine industries due to superior tribological properties. In SLCs, solid lubricant materials, including carbonous materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are embedded into the matrices as reinforcements to manufacture a novel material with attractive self-lubricating properties. Several studies have been investigated the tribological properties of self-lubricating materials. This book fills that gap to have a reference book about self-lubricating materials and their properties to help scientists, engineers, and industries. This book discusses mechanisms of self-lubricating materials, self-lubricating properties and the applications for industries. The chapters will be written by authoritative expertise in the field. Additionally, this book will demonstrate fundamental study and most advanced innovations in self-lubricating materials as regards to friction and wear. The chapters also include tribological properties of composites and coatings and some practical applications of self-lubricating materials.

Book Molybdenum Disulphide Lubrication

Download or read book Molybdenum Disulphide Lubrication written by A.R. Lansdown and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-05-28 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s and the early 1980s there was an enormous volume of research and development into the subject of molybdenum disulphide lubrication, much of which was supported by national governments for the benefit of defence, aviation or space activities. There were already some well-established practical guidelines for deciding when and how to use molybdenum disulphide, but there was still a considerable lack of universally-accepted theoretical understanding of some of the important and fundamental aspects of molybdenum disulphide technology. However, the state of knowledge was growing rapidly. In the past fifteen years the situation with regard to the technology of molybdenum disulphide lubrication has stabilised in many respects, and a measure of consensus has been reached about some of the mechanisms involved. The use of molybdenum disulphide has become routine in some industries, and there are many well-established and reputable commercial products available. Except in the high-technology field of physical deposition techniques, especially sputtering, the output of new research publications has fallen from perhaps two hundred a year in the 1970s to fewer than ten a year in the 1990s. In spite of this maturing of the subject, it is clear that there are still many aspects in which disagreements persist about the mechanisms involved, and which as a result are unclear or misunderstood among current, and perhaps even more importantly, potential users. One of the primary objectives of this book is to analyse the various aspects of molybdenum disulphide lubrication technology about which there are still disagreements or controversy, and to attempt to come to firm conclusions about some of the mechanisms involved. In particular, it will place emphasis on the importance and effects of burnishing and film consolidation.

Book Self lubricating Composites of Porous Nickel and Nickel chromium Alloy Impregnated with Barium Fluoride calcium Fluoride Eutectic

Download or read book Self lubricating Composites of Porous Nickel and Nickel chromium Alloy Impregnated with Barium Fluoride calcium Fluoride Eutectic written by Harold E. Sliney and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-lubricating composites were prepared by vacuum-impregnating porous nickel or Inconel X-750 (nickel-chromium alloy) with a barium fluoride - calcium fluoride eutectic composition. Density measurements and photomicrographs of the resulting composite structures demonstrated that this process completely filled the voids of the porous metals with the fluoride eutectic. The compressive yield strength of the nickel composites was quite low (about 30 000 psi); therefore, in order to avoid severe plastic deformation during the friction and wear experiments, it was necessary to employ moderate contact stresses. However, alloy composites were comparatively resistant to plastic deformation; the compressive yield strength was 78 000 pounds per square inch or about 75 percent of the strength of the age-hardened alloy in the dense, wrought form. The air at moderate contact stresses, the friction and wear properties of nickel composites were only slightly inferior to those of the alloy composites. Oxidation of nickel composites becomes serious at 12000 F, however, and limits the usefulness of this material in air to a maximum temperature of about 11000 F. The corresponding temperature limitation of the alloy composites in air was about 1350 F. In a hydrogen atmosphere, the alloy composites performed satisfactorily to 15000 F and may be suitable to somewhat higher temperatures. The frictional properties of the composites were significantly improved by the application of a thin, sintered coating of the eutectic fluoride to the bearing surfaces of the composites.
