Abstract
Current-carrying friction and wear issues have a significant impact on the performance and service life of electrical systems. This paper investigated lubricating behavior of gallium-based liquid metal (GLM) for the Cu/Al current-carrying tribo-pair. The results showed that when there is GLM lubrication, the coefficient of friction is in the range of 0.19–0.27, and the wear rate of Cu alloy is in the range of 0.87 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/Nm to 1.83 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/Nm. Compared without GLM lubricant, the coefficient of friction is decreased by approximately 1.3–2.5 times, and the wear rate is decreased by around 3.1 to 8.3 times. Its main lubrication mechanism is to generate a uniform and stable Ga-Al metal film at the friction interface, thereby effectively preventing the direct contact between the tribo-pairs and the occurrence of arc ablation.
期刊介绍：
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
