In this study, willow catkins/MoS2 nanoparticles (denoted as WCMSs) have been prepared using a hydrothermal method. The WCMSs were modified with oleic acid (OA) to improve dispersion in base oil. The friction and wear properties of WCMSs in liquid paraffin (LP) for steel balls were investigated using a four-ball wear tester. The results have shown that at a high reaction temperature, willow catkins (being used as a template) and urea (being used as a nitrogen resource) can effectively decrease the wear scar diameters (WSDs) and coefficients of friction (COFs). At a concentration of 0.5 wt.%, the WSD and COF of steel balls, when lubricated using LP containing modified WCMS with urea, decreased from 0.65 mm and 0.175 of pure LP to 0.46 mm and 0.09, respectively. The addition of urea and hydroxylated catkins can generate a significant number of loose nano-sheets and even graphene-like sheets. The weak van der Waals forces, decreasing the shear forces that the steel balls must overcome, provide effective lubrication during rotation. On the other hand, the tribo-films containing MoS2, FeS, azide, metal oxides and other compounds play important roles in reducing friction and facilitating anti-wear properties.

The Three-Piece Oil Control Ring (TPOCR) is becoming a viable option for heavy duty gas and hydrogen engines due to the low particle concentration in these engines. Although direct oil leakage from the gap is not likely to happen with the misalignment of the upper and lower rail gaps, there exist other less-apparent oil leaking mechanisms through the TPOCR. This work is targeted at understanding the oil leakage’s source and destination through the rail and liner interfaces across the whole cycle. The 2D Laser Induced Fluorescence technique was applied on an optical engine to study the oil transport behavior. Combined with a TPOCR model for dynamics and lubrication, the mechanisms that cause rail twist and oil scraping by the upper rail were analyzed. It was found that the symmetrical rail can scrape the oil up in the up-strokes. The scraped oil first accumulates in the clearance between the upper rail and groove, as well as at the upper corner of the rail Outer Diameter before being transferred to both the third land and liner when the piston changes direction at Top Dead Center. Rails with an asymmetrical profile can reduce or enhance these effects depending the orientation of the rails. This study provides findings that could help design the engine to better control Lubricate Oil Consumption and properly lubricate the Top Dead Center’s dry region at the same time.

In order to accurately and efficiently analyze the distribution law and motion status of lubricating oil in the spiral bevel gearbox of the electric multiple unit (EMU), a high-fidelity 3D CFD model of the spiral bevel gearbox of the EMU was established for the first time. The moving particle semi-implicit method was used to visualize the lubricating-oil flow field distribution characteristics of the gearbox. The distribution characteristics of lubricating oil in the gearbox with varying gear rotation speeds, initial lubricating-oil volume levels and oil temperatures were analyzed. It was found that the initial lubricating-oil volume is the factor with the largest influence, while the influences of gear rotation speed and oil temperature are relatively small. By analyzing the churning loss under various simulation conditions, it was found that the churning loss is positively correlated with the gear rotation speed and initial oil volume, and is more affected by the initial oil volume. The churning loss is negatively correlated with the oil temperature, and both are nonlinear relationships. The proportion of churning loss related to the driven gear is higher compared to that of the driving gear. These results can provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent optimization of the gearbox.

Aerostatic bearings are crucial support components in ultra−precision manufacturing equipment. However, improvements in the load−carrying capability (LCC) of aerostatic bearings often lead to higher intensity nano−vibrations. This paper introduces a novel primary and secondary orifice restrictor (PSOR) designed to simultaneously enhance the LCC and mitigate nano−vibrations in aerostatic bearings. The static performance of complex turbulent flows occurring within the chamber of aerostatic bearings with PSORs was investigated. The dynamic performance of the turbulent flows was analyzed through 3D transient numerical simulation using the large eddy simulation method. The LCC and nano−vibration acceleration were measured experimentally, and the results indicated that the design of the secondary orifice diameter could enhance LCC and mitigate nano−vibrations, consistent with theoretical predictions. The accuracy of the proposed model was validated, confirming the effectiveness of PSOR. In the experiments, an aerostatic bearing with a secondary orifice diameter of 0.1 mm exhibited the lowest LCC and largest nano−vibration. Conversely, an aerostatic bearing with a secondary orifice diameter of 0.26 mm exhibited the highest LCC and weakest nano−vibration. This study provides insights into the formation mechanism of turbulent vortex and interaction mechanism among the primary orifice and secondary orifices in aerostatic bearings with a PSOR.

Due to the large size of the bottom surface, the slipper pair of the large displacement piston pump (LDPP) will form a larger linear speed difference in the inner and outer positions of the slipper relative to the center of the swash plate during high-speed rotation. It is more likely to lead to the slipper overturning, which makes the slipper partially worn. To make improvements, the comprehensive performance of the slipper pair of the LDPP, the motion law of the slipper pair of the LDPP was explored. Firstly, a mathematical model of the oil film thickness of the slipper pair of the LDPP under the state of residual compression force is established, based on the consideration of the linear velocity difference formed by the high-speed rotation of the large bottom surface slipper and the theory of dynamics and thermodynamics. Secondly, the impact of rotational speed, piston chamber pressure and oil temperature on the oil film thickness of the slipper pair was simulated and analyzed. Finally, to measure the oil film thickness of the slipper pair, oil film thickness measuring equipment was created, and the accuracy of the mathematical model was verified. The study revealed the changing rules of the oil film thickness and tilt angle of the bottom surface of the slipper pair under various working conditions. The consistency of the simulation and test findings demonstrates that the mathematical model can accurately describe influencing elements and changing rules of the LDPP slipper pair’s oil film lubrication characteristics.

Magnesium has been a focal point of significant exploration in the biomedical engineering domain for many years due to its exceptional attributes, encompassing impressive specific strength, low density, excellent damping abilities, biodegradability, and the sought-after quality of biocompatibility. The primary drawback associated with magnesium-based implants is their susceptibility to corrosion and wear in physiological environments, which represents a significant limitation. Research findings have established that plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) induces substantial modifications in the surface characteristics and corrosion behavior of magnesium and its alloy counterparts. By subjecting the surface to high voltages, a porous ceramic coating is formed, resulting in not only altered surface properties and corrosion resistance, but also enhanced wear resistance. However, a drawback of the PEO process is that excessive pore formation and porosity within the shell could potentially undermine the coating’s corrosion and wear resistances. Altering the electrolyte conditions by introducing micro- and nano-particles can serve as a valuable approach to decrease coating porosity and enhance their ultimate characteristics. This paper evaluates the particle adhesion, composition, corrosion, and wear performances of particle-incorporated coatings applied to magnesium alloys through the PEO method.

MoS2 lithium-based grease is suitable for lubrication protection between bearings at high temperatures and loads due to its excellent tribological properties. However, there is little research on the influence of different addition methods of MoS2 additive on its tribology and corrosion properties. In this work, eco-friendly vegetable oil was selected as the base oil, with MoS2 powder as the additive to synthesize lithium-based grease. The effects of different adding modes of MoS2 on the tribology and corrosion properties of the grease were studied. The experimental results showed that adding 0.01 wt% MoS2 before thickening (Method D) was more conducive to improving the tribological properties of lithium grease. The average friction coefficient was reduced by 26.1%, and the average wear scar diameter was reduced by 0.16 mm. After grinding and adding (Method B) 0.01 wt% MoS2, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the steel sheet was as high as 96.97%. The reason was that the tribochemical reaction of MoS2 evenly distributed throughout the grease during friction, forming a thin friction film, reducing friction and wear. The protective film formed by MoS2 and GCr15-bearing steel improved the corrosion inhibition performance of the grease.

To improve the tribological characteristics of materials employed in spatial mechanisms, there is a significant requirement to develop solid lubricating composites with superior performance. This study investigates the tribological characteristics of composites consisting of a nickel matrix combined with silver molybdate and barium molybdate. The experimental analysis focuses on evaluating the tribological behaviors of these composites from 25 °C to 800 °C. The findings indicate that the combined application of silver molybdate and barium molybdate resulted in enhanced self-lubricating properties of the composites, particularly at temperatures over 400 °C. The inclusion of both silver molybdate and barium molybdate in the composite resulted in the achievement of a low friction coefficient (0.34–0.5), as well as a wear rate ranging from 0.47 to 1.25 × 10−4 mm3 N−1m−1, within the temperature range of 400 to 800 °C. Furthermore, an analysis was conducted to examine the wear processes of the composites at various sliding temperatures. This analysis was based on the evaluation of the chemical composition and morphologies of the sliding surfaces, which were verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Raman spectroscopy.

To meticulously examine the repercussions of nonlinear vibrations on fretting damage within aero-engine involute spline pairs, a dynamic model was constructed rooted in well-established theories and methodologies. MATLAB was engaged to resolve the model, where the vibration displacement function was treated under Fourier transformation. The emergent sub-model was then integrated into finite element analysis software to scrutinize the distribution curves of fretting damage over the external spline tooth surface. The analysis included a comprehensive comparison of the axial and radial distributions, in addition to scenarios with and without vibration interferences. Further, an empirical platform was devised to authenticate the outcomes harvested through finite element simulation. The results indicate that the principal mode of fretting damage failure in aero-engine involute spline pairs fundamentally comprises fretting wear. This wear occurs throughout the rotational period of the fretting cycle and reciprocally interacts with fretting fatigue phenomena. Significantly, it was ascertained that acute nonlinear vibrations escalate the magnitude of fretting damage and the quantity of worn teeth within aero-engine spline pairs. Beyond that, angular misalignment was recognized as an aggravating factor that compounds fretting damage in the secondary bond teeth of involute spline pairs. These newfound insights are of paramount significance for the strategic design of involute splines to combat wear.

The forthcoming revolution in mobility and the use of lubricants to ensure ecological friendliness intensifies the pressure on tribology for predictors in new life cycles, mainly addressing wear. The current paper aims to obtain such predictors by studying how the wear processes that occur in a standard FE8 bearing test rig under thin film lubrication are conducted by the properties of the lubricant rather than simple viscosity parameters. Assuming that the activity of a lubricant with respect to the temperature, surface, and chemicals is a matter of its chemical potential, the results show that the nature of the base oil is a key parameter, apart from the chemical structure of the additives. Moreover, it becomes clear that chemical predictors are changing by altering the conditions they are exposed to. As an important result, the lubricant is effective in the prevention of wear if it has the capacity to uptake and transmit electrical charges due to its polarisability during a wear process.

The current paper aims to obtain such predictors by studying how the wear processes that occur in a standard FE8 bearing test rig under thin film lubrication are conducted by the properties of the lubricant rather than simple viscosity parameters.
