T1 - Verification of nanometre-scale modelling of tribofilm sliding behaviour JF - Tribology International N2 - A model based on movable cellular automata has been applied to study the sliding behaviour of tribofilms formed during automotive braking. Since it is not possible yet to determine the composition of real tribofilms quantitatively, final verification of modelling results is needed. This was done by preparing artificial third bodies with compositions and nanostructures matching the ones assumed for modelling. Pin-on-disc tests were performed while applying the artificial third bodies to the contact. The results revealed that not only the structure of the third body but also the amount of the applied normal pressure determines the COF obtained by modelling and that much better correlation between experimental and modelling results was obtained while assuming high normal pressures at asperity contacts.

T1 - Tribological screening tests for the selection of raw materials for automotive brake pad formulations JF - Tribology International N2 - A modified pin-on-disc test was applied to determine tribological properties of typical brake pad constituents. Ball-milling of these ingredients together with iron oxide and graphite provided model materials displaying the main features of real third bodies. Solid lubricants like graphite affected the friction and wear behaviour of Fe3O4 powders considerably whereas further addition of hard nanoparticles induced only minor effects. This was corroborated by comparison with modelling results. MoS2 played a dual role. Depending on special conditions, this ingredient either reduced or increased friction. The latter could be explained, after nanoscopic characterization, by oxidation and destruction of the wear-protecting tribofilm.

T1 - Towards a better understanding of brake friction materials JF - Wear N2 - This work focuses on surface changes induced by repeated brake applications and tries to provide explanations, how such material modifications might affect friction and wear properties of automotive disc brakes. Surface films were investigated locally by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after having prepared thin cross-sections with a focused ion beam instrument (FIB). Since the observed friction layers revealed a nanocrystalline structure, modelling with the method of movable cellular automata (MCA) was performed by assuming an array of linked nanometer-sized particles. In spite of complicated material combinations at the pad surface, two very characteristic features were always observed at both the pad and disc surface, namely a steel constituent—either ferritic (pad) or pearlitic (disc), partly covered with patches of nanocrystalline iron oxide, on a zone of severe plastic deformation with fragmented grain structure. When using an automata size of 10 nm, reasonable values for the mean coefficient of friction (COF) were obtained, namely 0.35 and 0.85 for oxide-on-oxide and metal-on-metal contacts, respectively. Immediately after brake application mass-mixing and bond-breaking was observed within a narrow zone at both surfaces.

T1 - The role of solid lubricants for brake friction materials JF - Lubricants special issue "tribofilms and solid lubrication" N2 - This review article comprises of three parts. Firstly, reports of brake manufacturers on the beneficial impact of solid lubricants for pad formulations are surveyed. Secondly, since tribofilms were identified to play a crucial role in friction stabilization and wear reduction, the knowledge about tribofilm structures formed during automotive braking was reviewed comprehensively. Finally, a model for simulating the sliding behavior of tribofilms is suggested and a review on modelling efforts with different model structures related to real tribofilms will be presented. Although the variety of friction composites involved in commercial brake systems is very broad, striking similarities were observed in respect to tribofilm nanostructures. Thus a generalization of the tribofilm nanostructure is suggested and prerequisites for smooth sliding performance and minimal wear rates have been identified. A minimum of 13 vol.% of soft inclusions embedded in an iron oxide based tribofilm is crucial for obtaining the desired properties. As long as the solid lubricants or their reaction products are softer than magnetite, the main constituent of the tribofilm, the model predicts smooth sliding and a minimum of wear.

T1 - The role of carbon fibers and silica nanoparticles on friction and wear reduction of an advanced polymer matrix composite JF - Materials and design N2 - Excellent tribological properties of an advanced polymer matrix composite were obtained by a combination of micro- and nano-sized fillers. Surface features and the nanostructure of tribofilms were characterized by advanced microscopic techniques, and correlated with the macroscopic behavior in terms of wear rate and friction evolution. A model based on movable cellular automata was applied for obtaining a better understanding of the sliding behavior of the nanostructured tribofilms. The failure of the conventional composite without silica nanoparticles could be attributed to severe oxidational wear after degradation of an initially formed polymer transfer film. The hybrid composite preserves its antiwear and antifriction properties because flash temperatures at micron-sized carbon fibers, lead to polymer degradation and subsequent release of nanoparticles. It has been shown that the released particles are mixed with other wear products and form stable films at the disc surface thus preventing further severe oxidational wear. Furthermore, the released wear product also is embedding carbon fibers at the composite surface thus preventing fiber fragmentation and subsequent third body abrasion. With nanoscale modelling we were able to show that low friction and wear can be expected if the nanostructured silica films contain at least 10 vol.% of a soft ingredient.

In spite of a number of positive features copper usage in brake pad formulations has recently become the subject of considerable discussions, primarily due to concerns about potential risks related to environmental impacts of copper particles. So, for developing new pad formulations with possible replacements of copper content, it is very important to understand the functionality of copper additions to brake friction materials. In the paper theoretical investigation of the role of copper as a pad ingredient was carried out on the basis of modelling by the method of movable cellular automata (MCA). Our previous studies show that copper as a constituent of the tribofilm formed during braking provides smooth sliding by forming a granular layer of mechanically mixed materials from the friction layers. In the present study the concentration of copper particles in a Fe3O4-matrix was varied systematically in the range 5.5-28 vol. % and compared to mixtures with the same amount of graphite nanoparticles. The sliding simulations were performed while assuming material properties at 500°C in order to assess the beneficial role of copper during severe braking conditions corresponding to fading cycles during dynamometer testing.

A1 - Kloß, Heinz T1 - Possible impacts of third body nanostructure on friction performance during dry sliding determined by computer simulation based on the method of movable cellular automata JF - Tribology International N2 - The tribological properties of nanostructured surface films formed during dry sliding, for example during automotive braking, were determined by modelling using the method of movable cellular automata. Starting from a basic model structure, consisting of magnetite with 13% graphite inclusions, the impact of additional soft and hard particles of different size and volume fraction was studied systematically. It was revealed that agglomerates of soft particles decomposed and finally mixed with the oxide in the same way as single nanoparticles. On the other hand, agglomerates of hard particles mixed with the other components without decomposing. Whereas increasing the amount of soft components in the third body lowered the coefficient of friction, the opposite occurred with the hard particles. The boundary conditions for obtaining smooth sliding conditions with minor fluctuations between friction forces at successive time steps could be defined. In addition to features of the nanostructure, the applied normal pressure impacted modelling results. Within the parameter range of smooth sliding behaviour, increasing pressure induced thicker granular interface layers, which lead to a slight decrease of the coefficient of friction. Changing the amount of soft or hard particles did not change this pressure dependency but only the friction level.

The processes taking place at local contacts in an automotive brake system are analysed. Based on microscopic and micro-analytical observations, the following contact situations were simulated: (i) a couple of ferritic steel against pearlitic steel, both covered by an oxide layer mixed with graphite nanoparticles and (ii) the same situation but without oxide layers. The results of calculated mean coefficients of friction of the oxide-on-oxide contact correspond well to expected values for a real braking system, whereas steel-on-steel contact are twice as high. This allows one to make some conclusions; for example, oxide formation will take place more quickly than friction layer elimination, and finally this is responsible for the stabilisation of the coefficient of friction.

Whereas MCA considered the tribofilm as an agglomerate of silica nanoparticles released from the composite and mixed with graphite particles, MD simulated the sliding behavior of an amorphous silica layer supported by stiff crystalline substrates on both sides. The MCA model provided reasonable quantitative results which corroborate experimental findings at moderate stressing conditions. The very low coefficient of friction observed experimentally under severe stressing conditions was not explained by this model. This could be attributed to the lack of mechanical data at the high temperature expected under these conditions. Although based on a simpler assumption of the tribofilm composition, MD-modelling could be easily applied to the expected high flash temperature and was able to predict friction reduction and smooth sliding under these conditions.

Samples with an amorphous layer of pure nickel and nickel-phosphorus compound were considered. The analysis showed that forces of shear resistance in the sample with an amorphous layer containing phosphorus in about 3 times less than the sample with a layer of pure nickel. Thus, it was shown that nickel-phosphorous coating in amorphous-like state may exhibit low friction properties, and, therefore, serve as the solid lubricant material.

A1 - Österle, Werner T1 - Molecular dynamics modeling of the sliding performance of an amorphous silica nano-layer - The impact of chosen interatomic potentials JF - Lubricants N2 - The sliding behavior of an amorphous silica sample between two rigid surfaces is in the focus of the present paper. Molecular Dynamics using a classical Tersoff’s potential and a recently developed ReaxFF potential was applied for simulating sliding within a thin film corresponding to a tribofilm formed from silica nanoparticles. The simulations were performed at different temperatures corresponding to moderate and severe tribological stressing conditions. Simulations with both potentials revealed the need of considering different temperatures in order to obtain a sound interpretation of experimental findings. The results show the striking differences between the two potentials not only in terms of magnitude of the resistance stress (about one order of magnitude) but also in terms of friction mechanisms. The expected smooth sliding regime under high temperature conditions was predicted by both simulations, although with Tersoff’s potential smooth sliding was obtained only at the highest temperature. On the other hand, at room temperature Tersoff-style calculations demonstrate stick-slip behavior, which corresponds qualitatively with our experimental findings. Nevertheless, comparison with a macroscopic coefficient of friction is not possible because simulated resistance stresses do not depend on the applied normal pressure.

I. A1 - Österle, Werner T1 - Modelling the sliding behaviour of tribofilms forming during automotive braking: impact of loading parameters and property range of constituents JF - Tribology Letters N2 - The impact of pressure, sliding velocity and property variation of constituents on the sliding behaviour of a model tribofilm was studied with the method of movable cellular automata (MCA). Whereas a clear pressure dependency of the coefficient of friction (COF) was always observed and could be correlated with the structure formation in terms of varying thickness of a mechanically mixed layer, the impact of the other parameters was either negligible or rather weak. Only if a brittle-to-ductile Transition of the oxide-based tribofilm was assumed, a significant decrease in the COF level was predicted. Temperature-dependent property changes can be neglected during MCA modelling, unless this transition takes place. For magnetite-based tribofilms, the transition temperature is beyond 800 °C, i.e. a temperature leading to fading effects during braking anyway. Thus, it could be concluded that, except for very severe braking conditions, sliding simulations with the MCA method yield meaningful results without considering temperature-dependent mechanical properties.

T1 - Modelling mechanical friction and wear behaviour using numerical results of the movable cellular automata (MCA) method T2 - 19th International colloquium tribology - Industrial and automotive lubrication N2 - In the mechanical friction and wear process, normal and tangential (shear) forces cause elastic and plastic deformations, generate cracks and form loose wear particles through fracture processes. Depending on the working conditions, the material properties and the real contact Situation (topography), a third body is formed as a mechanical ly mixed layer, which determines different running-in and steady-state behaviours. Two dimensional (2D) MCA Simulation results will be described via empirical equations, which are related to the incubation time (period without wear) and the following running-in wear rate (kinetic concept of strength, fatigue wear model). In order to understand the running-in and steady-state wear, kinetic model equations for mass balance of the third body are useful and are therefore to be included in the investigation. For a more complex material behaviour, numerical Simulation results are also presented for friction at the pad-disk interface of automotive brakes.

The size of the elements used for modelling was fixed at 10 nm, corresponding approximately to the diameter of the filler particles. Since not only the stress-strain response of the two constituents but also debonding of neighboring particles and granular flow was taken into account, plastic deformation as well as crack initiation and propagation could be simulated with the model. Modelling results were compared with tensile test results of both, pure epoxy as well as the epoxy-6 vol. % SiO2 composite. Since assuming bulk properties of the two constituents did not yield satisfactory results, slight modifications of the nanoparticle response functions and nanostructures were tested numerically. Finally, it was observed that only the assumption of slightly increased strength properties of the epoxy yielded good correlation between experimental and modelling results. This was attributed to an increased cross linking of the epoxy caused by the presence of silica nano particles.
