The friction and strength properties of diamond

Hayward, I. P. January 1987 (has links)
Diamonds have many extreme physical properties that lead to a host of technological applications. Their main use as a tool or abrasive for the machining of hard materials involves diamonds rubbing against the material being worked and often against each other. The strength and frictional properties of diamond are thus of great practical, as well as academic interest. Studies of the reciprocating sliding of one diamond on another for extended periods have shown that the changes in friction and wear are linked with the formation of debris. Analysis of the debris shows it does not consist of diamond fragments. Investigations of the effect of low-pressure gases on diamond friction also indicate debris plays an important role, and that the friction and wear are markedly dependent on the state of adsorbants on the diamond surface. Details are also given of the friction and wear of steel, glass and sintered diamond in contact with diamond. An associated study of the solid particle erosion of diamond has shown that cracking can occur at impact velocities of 25 m s<SUP>-1</SUP>. To facilitate the friction studies two existing friction apparatus have been automated. Computer control now allows data to be collected and analysed more rapidly and thoroughly than was possible before. The equipment has also been adapted to extend the conditions under which friction studies can be made.

Graphene and graphene oxide as new lubricants in industrial applications

Andersson, Fredrik January 2015 (has links)
This master thesis report evaluatesthe lubricating effect of graphene (G)and graphene oxide (GO). Thesematerials have been added, in particlecondition, in Ag-based slidingcontacts and lubricating greases. Thework focuses on the tribologicalevaluation of these materials,especially friction, wear and contactresistance analyses. The friction andwear behaviors of Ag-based contactscontaining of a wide concentrationrange of graphene and graphene oxideare tested against pure silver using atest load of 2 and 10 N at a constantspeed of 5 cm/s. It was revealed thatsmall amounts of G and GO are able tosignificantly reduce the frictioncoefficient and wear rate. Contactresistance measurements revealed thatresults similar to pure Ag can beachieved with G content up to 10vol%.Possible mechanisms, which maycontribute to this tribologicalbehavior are the Ag-C interactions andthe lubricating nature of graphene.Friction tests with G and GOcontaining lubricating greases showinconsistent results, and both greasesand corresponding test methods forevaluation require furtheroptimization. The overall, promising,tribological behavior of G and GOholds for the implementation invarious industrial applications. Thereis no doubt that these kinds ofmaterials can play an important rolein ABBs future work. This masterthesis report shows yet anotherapplication area for theseextraordinary materials.

Investigating the effect of linear velocity in reciprocating contacts

Kleynhans, christo January 2021 (has links)
In Tribology, the well-known Stribeck curve is often used to relate friction behaviour to the properties of a system. Richard Stribeck, (Jacobson, 2003), (Stribeck, 1902) developed these curves while researching various bearings and found that the Stribeck curve can be generated for all tribological contacts of the Hertzian type. These curves give a relation between the coefficient of friction and the Sommerfeld number for a lubricant and given surfaces. All his test work was done on contacts that move in a single direction, unidirectional motion. This leaves the question, could Stribeck curves be applied to reciprocating contacts and how does linear velocity affect wear in these contacts? This research project is aimed to further the knowledge on how linear velocity affects reciprocating contacts with a focus on Stribeck curves and lubricity. Tests were conducted on two reciprocating instruments using ball and disk configurations. Two parameters were varied to change the linear velocity, namely oscillating frequency, and stroke length. To shift focus away from viscosity, n-Hexadecane was used as the base fluid due to its lack of lubrication properties. To improve the base fluid lubricity 3 carboxylic acids with 3 different chain lengths were used as additives. / Dissertation (MEng (Chemical Engineering)) Univercity of Pretoria, 2021. / Chemical Engineering / MEng (Chemical Engineering) / Restricted

Orientador: Sandro Donnini Mancini / Banca: Sandra Andrea Cruz / Banca: Maria Odila Hilario Cioffi / O programa de Pós Graduação em Ciencia e Tecnologia de Materiais PosMat tem carater institucional e integra as atividades de pesquisa em materiais de diversos campi da UNESP / Resumo: Termoplástico de muitas qualidades, em especial a manutenção das propriedades mecânicas sob temperaturas medianas, a poliftalamida - PPA, é uma das muitas alternativas para a substituição de materiais metálicos em aplicações que envolvam desgaste, resistência térmica, estabilidade dimensional e química, exigência de baixo peso e custo, além de flexibilidade de design. Neste trabalho foram analisadas, visando à substituição de materiais metálicos tradicionais usualmente empregados em bombas de óleo de motocicletas, diversas propriedades de compósitos tendo como matriz a poliftalamina: um deles com a fibra de vidro como reforço e outro com a fibra e com politetrafluoretileno - PTFE. O estudo foi dividido em duas grandes partes, sendo uma a caracterização do comportamento tribológico do compósito em três diferentes testes, objetivando determinar as taxas de desgaste sobre pressão e velocidades controladas, e outra, a caracterização de propriedades gerais após submteter cada compósito e envelhecimento em óleo e temperatura. Cm relação à segunda parte, análises de DSC e TG foram realizadas antes e após o envelhecimento, enquanto propriedades mecânicas como tração, impacto e dureza foram medidas para avaliar a manutenção das mesmas após envelhecimento. A técnica de análise dinâmico-mecânica foi utilizada para obter valores dos módulos elástico, de dissipação viscosa e complexo. Os resultados dos ensaios de desgaste demonstraram o bom comportamento do compósito frente aos materiais metálicos com redução na taxa desgaste, sobretudo frente ao alumínio. Os ensaios de tração, impacto, densidade, DSC e TG demonstraram a manutenção das propriedades mecânicas e térmicas, mesmo após envelhecimento em óleo.
