The improvement of drilling rig systems to ensure a reduction in unproductive time spent on lowering and lifting operations for replacing drilling tools and restoring the performance of drilling equipment units is an important task. At the same time, considerable attention is paid to the reliable and efficient operation of the braking systems of drilling rig winches. In the process of operation, the polymer pads periodically come into contact with the outer cylindrical surface of the metal pulley during braking, work in extreme conditions and wear out intensively, so they need periodic replacement. Tests were carried out on a modernized stand and in industrial conditions for the brakes of drilling winches. A methodology for evaluating the degradation of the brake pad friction surface during its operation is proposed. The assessment of the degradation degree is carried out based on the image of the brake pad surface using image processing techniques. Geometric transformations of the input image were performed to avoid perspective distortions caused by the concave shape of the brake pads and the spatial angle at which the image is acquired to avoid glares. The crack detection step was implemented based on the scale-space theory, followed by contour detection and skeletonization. The ratios of the area and perimeter of segmented and skeletonized cracks to the total area were chosen as integral characteristics of the degradation degree. With the help of scanning electron microscopy, the character of the destruction of the friction surface and the degradation of the polymer material was investigated. Experimental studies were performed, and the application of the proposed method is illustrated.

With sustainability dominating the industry, recycling the generated waste from different processes is becoming increasingly important. This study focuses on recycling waste generated during aluminum anodizing waste (AAW) in friction material formulations for automotive braking applications. However, before utilization, the waste needs to be pre-treated, which mainly involves drying. Hence, four different industrial drying methods were studied to dry the AAW, and the corresponding characteristics were observed by evaluating its residual humidity and crushability index. The waste powders were further characterized using FT-IR and SEM/EDXS to understand their constituents. The initial analysis showed that the waste subjected to the drying process P2 and P1 with the lowest final humidity fetched the most desirable results, with P1 having the simpler drying procedure. The AAW powders were added in a commercial friction material formulation at 6 and 12 wt.% and subjected to friction, wear, and non-exhaust particulate matter analysis. The worn surfaces were analyzed using SEM/EDXS evaluation to understand the extension and composition of the deposited secondary contact plateaus. It was seen that the 12 wt.% addition of waste processed using the P1 technique provided the most satisfactory friction, wear, and emission characteristics, along with expansive secondary contact plateaus with a good contribution of the waste in its formation. This study showed a good relationship between the processing method and a formulation’s tribological and emission characteristics, thereby paving the way for using this drying method for other waste requiring pre-treatment.

Monolayer (CrN, AlTiN) and bilayer (CrN/AlTiN) coatings are formed on the surface of conventional heat-treated and gas-nitrided X45CrMoV5-3-1 tool steel via Cathodic Arc Physical Vapor Deposition (CAPVD), and the adhesion characteristics and room- and high-temperature wear behavior of the coatings are compared with those of the un-nitrided ones. Scratch tests on the coatings show that the bilayer coating exhibits better adhesion behavior compared to monolayer ones, and the adhesion is further increased in all coatings due to the high load carrying capacity of the diffusion layer formed by the nitriding process. Dry friction tests performed at room temperature reveal that, among ceramic-based coatings, the coating system with a high adhesion has the lowest specific wear rate (0.06 × 10−6 mm3/N·m), and not only the surface hardness but also the nitriding process is important for reducing this rate. Studies on wear surfaces indicate that the bilayer coating structure has a tendency to remove the surface over a longer period of time. Hot wear tests performed at a temperature (450 °C) corresponding to aluminum extrusion conditions show that high friction coefficient values (>1) are reached due to aluminum transfer from the counterpart material to the surface and failure develops through droplet delamination. Adhesion and tribological tests indicate that the best performance among the systems studied belongs to the steel–CrN/AlTiN system and this performance can be further increased via the nitriding process.

In this study, a multi-objective optimization regarding the tribological characteristics of the hybrid composite with a base material of aluminum alloy A356 as a constituent, reinforced with a 10 wt.% of silicon carbide (SiC), size 39 µm, and 1, 3, and 5 wt.% graphite (Gr), size 35 µm, was performed using the Taguchi method, gray relational analysis (GRA), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) decision-making methods. Tribological tests were carried out on a “block on disc” type tribometer with lubrication. Load, sliding speed, and graphite mass concentration were analyzed as input parameters. As output parameters, wear rate and coefficient of friction were calculated. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to identify all parameters that have a significant influence on the output multi-response. It was found that the normal load has the highest influence of 41.86%, followed by sliding speed at 32.48% and graphite addition at 18.47%, on the tribological characteristics of composites. Multi-objective optimization determined that the minimal wear rate and coefficient of friction are obtained when the load is 40 N, the sliding speed is 1 m/s, and the composite contains 3 wt.% Gr. The optimal combination of parameters achieved by GRA was also confirmed by the TOPSIS method, which indicates that both methods can be used with high reliability to optimize the tribological characteristics. The analysis of worn surfaces using scanning electron microscopy revealed adhesive and delamination wear as dominant mechanisms.

In order to optimize sealing performance, a novel labyrinth seal with semi-elliptical teeth (SET) structure is proposed in this paper, which includes semi-elliptical teeth and a series of cavities. The simulation results calculated by the numerical methods are compared with the experimental and theoretical results, and static and dynamic characteristics of the novel SET structure are further investigated. The numerical simulations of labyrinth seals with the SET structure demonstrate high accuracy and reliability, with a maximum relative error of less than 6% as compared to experimental results, underscoring the validity of the model. Notably, leakage rates are directly influenced by pressure drop and axial offset, with optimal sealing achieved at zero axial displacement. The direct damping coefficient increases as the pressure drop increases while the other dynamic coefficients decrease. Additionally, the stability results show that the novel SET structure exhibits higher stability for positive axial offsets. The novel model and corresponding results can provide a meaningful reference for the study of sealing structure and coupled vibration in the field of fluid machinery.
为了优化密封性能，本文提出了一种新型半椭圆齿迷宫密封（SET）结构，其中包括半椭圆齿和一系列空腔。将数值方法计算出的模拟结果与实验和理论结果进行了比较，并进一步研究了新型 SET 结构的静态和动态特性。采用 SET 结构的迷宫密封件的数值模拟结果表明，与实验结果相比，最大相对误差小于 6%，具有很高的准确性和可靠性，这突出表明了模型的有效性。值得注意的是，泄漏率直接受压降和轴向偏移的影响，在轴向位移为零时可达到最佳密封效果。直接阻尼系数随着压降的增大而增大，而其他动态系数则减小。此外，稳定性结果表明，新型 SET 结构在正轴向偏移时具有更高的稳定性。该新型模型和相应结果可为流体机械领域的密封结构和耦合振动研究提供有意义的参考。

With the aim of improving the tribological properties of low-viscosity gear oil for automobiles, an acrylate of dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid (ADDP) with strong polar groups was synthesized. The tribological behavior of ADDP combined with molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) in gear oil was systematically studied. Tribological performances of gear oil containing different additives were assessed using a four-ball friction and wear tester. The obtained tribological characteristics reveal that ADDP and MoDTC can significantly improve the antiwear and antifriction performance of low-viscosity gear oil. Moreover, compared with using MoDTC or ADDP alone, the average friction coefficient and wear scar diameter of ADDP combined with MoDTC further decreased by 2.41–19.15% and 5.00–18.19%, respectively. Analysis of the worn surface showed that the structural characteristics and physical synergistic lubricating actions of the ADDP with MoDTC additives during the friction process can contribute to the exceptional tribological properties of the hybrid additives.

This work studied the influence of the voltage parameters on the friction and superlubricity performances of LiPF6-based ionic liquids (ILs). The results show that the voltage direction and magnitude greatly affected the friction performances of ILs and that macroscale superlubricity can be achieved with a stimulation of −0.1 V. The surface analysis and experiment results indicate that the voltage magnitude influences the coefficient of friction (COF) by determining the types of substances in the tribochemical film formed on the ball, while the voltage direction influences the COF by affecting the adsorption behavior of Li(PEG)+ ions on the ball. At −0.1 V, the cation group Li(PEG)+ adsorption film and FeOOH-containing tribochemical film contribute to friction reduction. The formation of FexOy within the tribochemical film results in an increase in friction at −0.8 V. The limited adsorption of Li(PEG)+ ions and the formation of FexOy contribute to the elevated COF at +0.1 V. This work proves that the friction performances of LiPF6-based ILs could be affected by voltage parameters. A lubrication model was proposed hoping to provide a basic understanding of the lubrication mechanisms of ILs in the electric environment.
这项工作研究了电压参数对基于 LiPF6 的离子液体（ILs）的摩擦和超润滑性能的影响。结果表明，电压的方向和大小对离子液体的摩擦性能有很大影响，在-0.1 V的电压刺激下可以实现宏观超润滑。表面分析和实验结果表明，电压大小通过决定球上形成的摩擦化学膜中的物质类型来影响摩擦系数（COF），而电压方向则通过影响 Li(PEG)+ 离子在球上的吸附行为来影响摩擦系数。在-0.1 V电压下，阳离子团Li(PEG)+吸附膜和含FeOOH的摩擦生化膜有助于降低摩擦。摩擦化学膜中 FexOy 的形成导致 -0.8 V 时摩擦力增加。Li(PEG)+ 离子的有限吸附和 FexOy 的形成导致 +0.1 V 时 COF 升高。这项研究证明，基于 LiPF6 的 IL 的摩擦性能可能受到电压参数的影响。我们提出了一个润滑模型，希望能为了解电环境下 IL 的润滑机理提供一个基础。

The study of lubricating oil is paramount for the optimal functioning of modern engines, and it has generated intensive research in the automotive industry. The aim is to improve the tribological properties of lubricants by including nanomaterials as additives in base oils. This article presents an exhaustive bibliographic review of the experiments carried out to optimize the tribological properties of nano-lubricants in order to identify the nanoparticles and experimental processes used and analyze the results obtained. The methodology adopted combines inductive and deductive elements. It begins with the formulation of a general theory on the application of nanoparticles in lubricants, followed by the collection of specific data on the conceptualization and preparation of nano-lubricants. A total of 176 articles focused on the application of nanoparticles in lubricants, especially to reduce the coefficient of friction, are reviewed. These works, with impact levels Q1 and Q2, delve into the application and are analyzed to review the obtained results. Most researchers worked with a nanoparticle concentration range of 0% to 1% by volume.

The paper compares the performance of two bio-ester and two mineral-oil emulsion metalworking fluids (MWFs) in finish turning an Inconel 718 alloy bar with a high hardness (HB 397–418). In this study, a coolant with a lean concentrate diluted at 6.5% to create an emulsion with stabilised water hardness was used to prepare each MWF. The finish-turning method used a small tool nose radius (0.4 mm) and small depth of cut (0.25 mm) to turn down 52.5-mm diameter bars in multiple passes to reach a maximum tool flank wear of 200 µm. In each MWF turning test, the tool flank wear, cutting forces, and surface roughness were measured against cut time. Chips from each MWF turning test were also collected at the same cut time instances. The surface and subsurface integrity on a workpiece obtained from each MWF turning test were compared by using a new unworn tool. Overall, for the machining parameters studied, the findings suggest the bio-esters were capable of equivalent machining performance as the mineral-oil emulsions, apart from one bio-ester that displayed improved surface roughness. Common to all MWF turning tests was a change in the chip form at low flank wear, which is discussed. Further findings discussed include the sensitivity of the concentration of the MWF diluted in the emulsion and the effect of the workpiece hardness within the batch used, with useful recommendations to improve the finish-turning method for the assessment of MWFs.
