O maior uso do concreto de alta resistência, o uso de desmoldante e/ou o emprego de fôrmas plastificadas são fatores que cada vez mais contribuem para a superfície do concreto tornar-se lisa e de baixa porosidade superficial. Dessa forma, há prejuízo da absorção capilar que deve existir na camada superficial da base, de modo a permitir a penetração e a ancoragem dos produtos de hidratação da argamassa de revestimento no interior do substrato, garantindo a ancoragem mecânica. Neste sentido, a presente dissertação é resultado de um trabalho experimental realizado para investigar a influência da rugosidade gerada pelos tratamentos superficiais realizados nos substratos de concreto, com ou sem desmoldante, tais como lavagem por hidrojateamento, escovação, lixamento, apicoamento e uso de retardador de pega de superfície, na aderência do revestimento de argamassa. Para atender os objetivos propostos, moldaram-se prismas de concreto em três níveis de resistência fc28 (25 MPa, 35 MPa e 45 MPa), cujas superfícies foram tratadas e preparadas com chapisco convencional, traço 1:3 e chapisco adesivo. A argamassa de revestimento empregada foi industrializada. O programa experimental envolveu primeiramente a caracterização inicial dos materiais utilizados na confecção dos prismas de concreto, bem como das argamassas empregadas. Como caracterização dos substratos tratados, foram realizados ensaios para caracterizar a superfície, quanto à rugosidade e sucção capilar. A rugosidade foi avaliada em duas dimensões, através de perfis, de acordo com parâmetros normalizados, e também em três dimensões, através da superfície específica. Após o tratamento dos substratos, foi feita a aplicação da camada de chapisco, convencional e industrializado, e posteriormente, a aplicação da argamassa de revestimento, em camada única. Por fim, os revestimentos aplicados foram avaliados quanto à resistência de aderência e extensão de aderência. Com os resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que o uso do desmoldante prejudica a sucção capilar de substratos de concreto de fc28 igual ou inferior a 35 MPa. Conclui-se também que concretos de fc28 igual a 25 MPa possuem porosidade suficiente para garantir ancoragem mecânica, não necessitando de tratamento superficial, assim como quando se utiliza chapisco industrializado em qualquer concreto. Ao se utilizar chapisco convencional, a resistência de aderência aumenta a medida que se aumenta a rugosidade da superfície. / The widespread use of high resistance concrete , the use of lubricant and the employment of plastic-coated molds are factors that more and more contribute to the flat surface and low porosity of the concrete. Thus, there is damage of the capillary absorption that should exist in the substrate superficial layer, in order to allow the entrance and the anchorage of the hydration products of the coating mortar inside the substrate, guaranteeing the mechanical anchorage. In this way, the present dissertation resulted as experimental work realized to investigate the influence of the rugosity generated by the superficial treatments in the concrete substrate, with or without lubricant, such as wash with high pressure water jetting, brushing, grinding, milling and use of retarder of surface, in the adherence of the coating mortars. To reach the proposed objectives, concrete prisms were molded in three levels of resistance fc28 (25 MPa, 35 MPa and 45MPa), its surfaces were treated and prepared with conventional slurry mortar and adhesive slurry mortar. The coating mortar was industrialized. The experimental program involved the initial characterization of the materials used in concrete and mortars. To characterize the concrete surface tests were realized to characterize the rugosity and sorptivity. The rugosity was evaluated in two dimensions, through profiles, in accordance with parameters normalized, and also in three dimensions, through specific surface. Slurry mortar industrialized and conventional was applied after the substrate treatment, and the covering mortar was applied after in only one layer. Finally, the coverings applied were evaluated on the bond strength and adherence extension. The results obtained showed us that the use of the lubricant damages capillary suction on the concrete substrate 35MPa. Concretes 25MPa possess enough porosity to guarantee mechanical anchorage, not needing superficial treatment, as well when slurry mortar industrialized is used in any concrete. The resistance of adherence increases when the rugosity of the surface increases.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Este trabalho relata a sÃntese, caracterizaÃÃo e anÃlise de compostos fosforados com potencial lubrificante, obtidos a partir do LCC, um subproduto da indÃstria de processamento da castanha. Os quatro compostos sintetizados [Dietil-3-n-pentadecilfenol tiofosfato (1), Dietil-3-n-pentadecilfenol fosfato (2), Difenil-3-n-pentadecilfenol fosfato (3) e Tri-3-n-pentadecilfenol fosfato (4)] utilizaram como precursor o 3-n-pentadecilfenol (cardanol hidrogenado) e foram caracterizados por um conjunto de tÃcnicas experimentais (RMN 1H, 13C e 31P, infravermelho e CG/EM) que revelaram a pureza dos mesmos. A estabilidade tÃrmica dos compostos foi verificada atravÃs de vÃrios estÃgios de degradaÃÃo tÃrmica. Os compostos (1) e (2) sÃo menos estÃveis que (3) e (4), no entanto, todos eles apresentaram-se dentro da faixa da temperatura de degradaÃÃo para os aditivos de lubricidade comerciais similares. A estabilidade oxidativa foi avaliada utilizando mÃtodo do oxigÃnio ativo. Todos os Ãleos aditivados apresentaram diminuiÃÃo no Ãndice de acidez caracterizando-os como potenciais antioxidantes, especialmente no que se refere à relaÃÃo custo/benefÃcio, fator importante na escolha de um aditivo ressaltando-se o excelente desempenho do composto (1). A anÃlise do potencial lubrificante revelou diminuiÃÃo no desgaste das esferas cobertas com os Ãleos aditivados quando comparados ao padrÃo (sem aditivo). O teste de lubricidade revelou que todos compostos encontram-se dentro dos parÃmetros exigidos pela legislaÃÃo em vigor na concentraÃÃo de 2%. / This work repots the synthesis, characterization and analysis of the phosphorous compounds with lubricant potential, obtained from CNSL, a byproduct of cashew nut processing industries. The four synthesized compounds [Diethyl-3-n-pentadecylphenol thiophosphate (1), Diethyl-3-n-pentadecylphenol phosphate (2), Diphenil-3-n-pentadecylphenol phosphate (3) and Tri-3-n-entadecylphenol phosphate (4)] used 3-npentadecylphenol (hydrogenated cardanol) as forerunner and were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (NMR 1H, 13C and 31P, infrared and GC/MS) that revealed their purity. The thermal stability of all compounds was verified by several steps of thermal degradation. Compounds (1) and (2) were less stable than (3) and (4), but, all of them showed degradation temperatures in the similar range of commercial lubricity additives. The oxidative stability was evaluated using the active oxygen method. All the additivated oils showed a decreasing in the acid scale , characterizing the compounds as potential antioxidants, especially relative to the cost/benefit ratio, emphasizing the excellent performance of the compound. The analysis of the lubricant potential revealed a diminution in the wear of the spheres covered with additivated oils when compared to the standard (without additive). The test of lubricity revealed that all compounds are inside the parameters required by the present legislation in the concentration of 2 %.

O tratamento dos dados foi realizado empregando-se métodos estatísticos. Parâmetros como carga de trabalho, rotação, pressões, temperaturas, assim como a severidade do desgaste, podem não ser suficientes para manifestar a falha durante o tempo de exposição do motor ao ensaio, postergando a sua ocorrência para a planta do cliente (montadora) ou para o campo. O conhecimento da concentração dos elementos metálicos em óleo lubrificante é útil para a avaliação de desgastes de componentes específicos de motores permitindo uma intervenção preventiva a fim de evitar falhas catastróficas. A partir da análise dos dados históricos disponíveis na empresa definiu-se o conceito de assinatura de desgaste e buscou-se conhecer o comportamento dos resultados das análises de óleo, quando se constatou variabilidade significativa dos valores que pode ser explicada por erros sistêmicos e aleatórios. A validação da técnica por ICP-OES para detecção de desgaste prematuro em motores foi realizada a partir da reprodução do modo de falha mais comumente encontrado em motores de combustão interna, que é o engripamento de biela. Simulou-se a contaminação do sistema tribológico casquilho, moente e óleo, considerando-se o agente de contaminação externa proveniente da região de fechamento da capa da biela. Conforme esperado, os motores foram aprovados dentro dos parâmetros de controle existentes. Após a desmontagem dos motores evidenciouse que o sistema tribológico fora seriamente comprometido por desgaste do casquilho (bronzina), que apresenta um revestimento superficial de alumínio e estanho. Na análise univariada de metais dissolvidos no óleo lubrificante identificou-se a presença de estanho, o que não é esperado encontrar neste modelo de motor. No tratamento multivariado foi possível analisar a correlação dos metais dissolvidos no óleo cuja análise estatística possibilitou distinguir motores conformes de não conformes de forma quantitativa e objetiva. Desta forma, conclui-se que o método de análise de metais dissolvidos em óleo lubrificante por ICP-OES é eficaz, se mostrando sensível na detecção de desgaste do sistema casquilho-moente / Abstract: The main goal of this study is to evaluate if the determination of metal concentration in lubricant oil by ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) is capable to help on eventual wear failures diagnosis on Diesel engines that are not detected in the production test cycle (running in). The data processing was done using statistical methods. Parameters like load, engine speed, pressures, temperatures, as well wear severity, cannot be enough to show the failure during the engine test time postponing the failure occurrence to OEM or field. The metallic elements concentration knowledge in lubricant oil is useful to evaluate specific engines parts wear allowing a preventive action in order to avoid catastrophic failures. Starting from the historic data analysis available in the company it was defined the concept of wear signature looking for oil analysis results behavior understanding, where it was noticed significant values variability due to random and systemic errors. The ICP-OES validation for premature wearing detection on engines was done starting from most usual failure mode found on internal combustion engines that is connecting rod scuffing. The tribological system bearing, crankshaft pin and oil was set to simulate a failure by an external contamination coming from the connecting rod cracked assembly area. As expected, the engines were approved according to current controls. After engine disassembly it was noticed that the tribological system was heavy damaged due to bearing wear whose surface layer composition is made of aluminum and tin. In the univariate oil analysis of metals dissolved it was detected tin which is not expected to be finding in this engine model. In the multivariate data processing it was possible to analyze the dissolved metals correlation whose statistical analysis make possible to distinguish conforming engines from non-conforming engines in a quantitative and objective way. So it is possible to conclude that the ICP-OES method to analyze dissolved metal in oil is effective showing sensibility to detect wear between crankshaft pin and connecting rod bearing system / Mestrado / Projetos / Mestre em Engenharia Automobilistica

The purpose of this thesis was to compare graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and WS2 as solid lubricant additives to aluminum in order to reduce friction and wear. The central hypothesis of this work relied on lubricating properties of 2D materials, which consist layers that slip under a shear force. Two aluminum composites were made (Al-2 vol.% GNP and Al-2 vol.% WS2) by spark plasma sintering. Tribological properties were evaluated by ball-on-disk wear tests at room temperature (RT) and 200°C. WS2 not only presented the lowest COF (0.66) but also improved the wear resistance of aluminum by 54% at RT. Al-2 vol.% GNP composite displayed poor densification (91%) and low hardness resulting in poor wear resistance. The wear rate of Al-2 vol.% GNP composite increased by 233% at RT and 48% at 200°C as compared to pure aluminum. GNP addition also resulted in lower COF (0.79) as compared to pure aluminum (0.87).

Over the years, different lubricants have been used to operate hip simulators. The current applicable ISO standard (ISO 14242-1:2002) recommends the use of 25% calf serum diluted with deionised water. The standard further recommends that the fluid be changed and the acetabular cup be weighed every 500 000 cycles. This procedure results in a loss of both the third body wear particles and the wear pattern. The purpose of this study was to develop a synthetic lubricant that would map the viscosity and lubricity properties of joint fluid (“synovial fluid”) over the whole duration of a simulator test, which is typically five million cycles. The first objective of this study was to find the effect of temperature increase on the viscous and lubricative properties of joint fluid retrieved from both primary and revision patients prior to surgery. The lubricity tests were done on a Linear-Oscillation Test Machine (SRV machine). Three test temperatures were used namely 38ºC, 50ºC and 60ºC. The load at failure and the average coefficient of friction were parameters measured during these tests. A decrease in the load at failure was found for an increase in test temperature, while the coefficient of friction stayed relatively stable. The viscosity tests were done using a Brookfield Viscometer. The three test temperatures mentioned above, were copied. The joint fluid tested showed pseudoplastic flow behaviour. An increase in the viscosity as a function of test temperature increase and a magnitude of shear rate was observed. The second objective of this study was to develop a synthetic lubricant that had the same average properties than that found for the retrieved joint fluid. A mixture of three different chemicals, namely Poloxamer 188, Xanthan Gum and Lube Boosterâ II was used to map the viscous and lubricative properties of the joint fluid. A comparative test using the synthetic lubricant and bovine serum was performed in a custom-built simulator. Wear debris was sampled at 500 000 cycle intervals up to 4 500 000 cycles. During these intervals the bovine serum stations were drained and washed with deionised water, but not stripped and weighed as specified in the ISO standard. This was done intentionally to preserve the wear pattern during the entire test. The synthetic lubricant stations were not stripped or drained during these intervals. This ensured that the wear pattern was maintained and that the effect of accumulative wear could be investigated throughout the duration of the test. The wear debris from the test was then compared to wear debris retrieved from scar tissue of revision patients. The wear debris that was found in the scar tissue retrieved from patients was similar in shape and size to that which was found in the simulator using bovine serum and the synthetic lubricant. It can thus be concluded that an acceptable lubricant had been developed to replace the current test medium in the simulators. / Dissertation (MEd (Mechanical Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering / unrestricted

The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the influence of individual operating parameters on thickness and temperature distribution of elastohydrodynamic contact under high slip ratio. In this work, the distribution of the lubricant film thickness is determined by optical interferometry and the temperature mapping in EHL contact is realized by infrared microscopy. Two optical filters were used to separate the radiation of contact surfaces and oil. Temperature of disk surface was measured using a sapphire disk with chromium layer that shielded radiation from ball and oil. The experimental device was modified to simulate the conditions of the various vectors between entrainment and sliding speed. The results extend existing information about behavior of EHL contact under high slip ratio conditions.

This diploma thesis deals with experimental study of the effect of surface grooves on distribution of lubricant film in elastohydrodynamic lubricated point contact. Lubricant film thickness was measured by ball-on-disc apparatus using an optical interferometry technique - thin film colorimetric interferometry. The effects of groove geometry, lubricant and operating conditions were studied in this diploma thesis. The effects of these variables are evaluated based on newly suggested parameter Rgi (groove influence ratio). Groove influence ratio is defined as an influenced film thickness influenced by groove divided by film thickness for smooth surfaces.

In today’s industry, the sustainable use of raw materials and the development of new green technology in mass production, with the aim of saving resources, energy and production costs, is a significant challenge. Deep drawing as a widely used industrial sheet metal forming process for the production of automotive parts belongs to one of the most energy-efficient production techniques. However, one disadvantage of deep drawing regarding the realisation of green technology is the use of lubricants in this process. Therefore, a novel approach for modifying the conventional deep drawing process to achieve a lubricant-free deep drawing process is introduced within this thesis. In order to decrease the amount of frictional force for a given friction coefficient, the integral of the contact pressure over the contact area has to be reduced. To achieve that, the flange area of the tool is macro-structured, which has only line contacts. To avoid the wrinkling, the geometrical moment of inertia of the sheet should be increased by the alternating bending mechanism of the material in the flange area through immersing the blankholder slightly into the drawing die.

Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance has been employed to investigate electro-responsiveness of an ionic liquid as an additive in lubricant oils on a gold surface. Polarisation of the surface reveals changes in frequency where an increase in magnitude amplified the observed response, corresponding to a controllable alternation of the ionic liquid configuration on the surface as a function of applied potential. The frequency changes are due to different packing of the anion and cation, respectively, on the surface as their mass densities and geometries are different. Relaxation of the system was reversible to the application of a potential and it was also found to be diffusion dependent, where the ratio between the ion diffusivities could be extracted from the results. Measurement of the system relaxation reveals a potential decay of that of a discharging capacitor, with an internal resistance inducing an initial potential drop due to the resistivity of the oil medium. The discharge behaviour was also proven to show high internal reproducibility validity within experiments. This newly discovered insight in responsive differences of ion packing is of importance, not only for ionic liquid additives in tribology, but for understanding and exploiting ionic liquids in an array of electrochemical applications.
