Note générale : Tribology Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Water/oil-graphite  emulsions  Graphite-based  lubricants  Boron-nitride-silicone  lubricants Résumé : Although water/oil-graphite emulsions are widely used in warm forging processes, they carry environmental concerns. In an attempt to replace graphite-based lubricants in warm forging of aluminum alloys, two variants of boron-nitride-silicone lubricants were formulated. The two variants were made by dispersing boron nitride powder in polydimethyl siloxane oil at concentrations of 1% and 8%. The formulated lubricants were initially tested for their thermal degradation characteristics using a thermogravimetric analyzer and compared to the thermal degradation behavior of graphite and silicone oil lubricants. Ring compression tests were then carried out at 260°C and 370°C. Boron-nitride-silicone lubricant variants did not show significant difference in performance as die temperature was increased from 260°Cto370°C. This is in contrast to graphite, which performed much better at 260°C than at 370°C, due to thermal oxidation. On the other hand, silicone oil exhibited the worst performance at 260°C and the best performance at 370°C. In both boron nitride lubricant variants, the polydimethyl siloxane facilitated hydrostatic/hydrodynamic lubrication at 260°C, with boron nitride acting as a barrier film that reduced friction. However, the lubrication mechanisms changed at 370°C, where the depolymerization of polydimethyl siloxane led to formation of silica due to thermal oxidation. Silica, together with boron nitride, acted as a film barrier with low shear strength. The dual lubrication mechanisms make boron-nitride-silicone lubricants suitable for a wide range of aluminum forging temperatures.
