Effects of nanostructured additives on boundary lubrication for potential artificial joint applications / Alice Pendleton in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of tribology, Vol. 132 N° 3 (Juillet 2010)

Note générale : Tribology Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aluminium  alloys  Friction  Fullerenes  Lubrication  Nanoparticles  Titanium  alloys  Vanadium  alloys  Viscosity Index. décimale : 621.5 Energie pneumatique. Machinerie et outils. Réfrigération Résumé : Water-based fluids containing nanostructured fullerene C60 and 18-crown ether-6 were investigated. The effects of those nanostructured additives on the tribological performance of titanium and its alloys as potential biomaterials were analyzed. Experimentally, tribology tests were conducted using a Ti–6Al–4V ball against a disk made of pure titanium as a simplified model of the material rubbing pair. Lubrication mechanisms were studied by comparing the nanostructures, viscosities, and frictions. Results showed that the fullerene C60 in deionized water provided the lowest viscosity and friction. Crown ether, on the other hand, provided high friction and shear. Our analysis indicated that the fullerene was weakly interacted with water compared with the crown ether, resulting in an extended low friction in the boundary lubrication regime. The crown ether required extra energy in order to slide or roll. This led to a high friction. This finding opens the possibilities for lubrication design and optimization for biological and engineering applications in general.

Formation and characterization of tribofilms / Prasenjit Kar in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of tribology, Vol. 130 N° 4 (Octobre 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of tribology > Vol. 130 N° 4 (Octobre 2008) . - 6 p. Titre : Formation and characterization of tribofilms Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Prasenjit Kar, Auteur ; Pranay Asthana, Auteur ; Hong Liang, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : 6 p. Note générale : Tribology Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Particulate  matter  Lubricants  Tribological  films  Mineral  oil  Steel  Petroleum  Wear  Temperature Résumé : Fundamentals of tribofilm formation and their properties were studied. In order to understand the effects of lubricants on tribofilms, four base oils were investigated. Lubricants include castor oil, polyethylene glycol, mineral oil, and margarine. These oils were chosen based on their molecular structure, polarity, utility, and biodegradability. Experiments were conducted using a ball-on-disk tribometer to form tribofilms. Surface characterization was carried out using a stylus profilometer, a scanning electron microscope, and a transmission electron microscope. Results showed that oils with high polarity such as castor oil enhanced the formation of a transfer layer on the steel surface, whereas nonpolar oils such as mineral oil failed to do so. Oils with high polarity act as effective base oils to prevent metal hardening and bond debris particles to the metal surface. Oils with nonpolar components, on the other hand, generate abrasive nanoparticles during rubbing. Experiments with margarine at elevated temperature resulted in the formation of a hard and thick tribofilm. An adsorption model is illustrated to highlight the effects of lubricant molecules.
