The steam technology has attracted attention for recovering energy from waste heat in transportation systems. 40% of the calorific value of the fuel is wasted through the tailpipe. The use of waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) in cars and especially in trucks corresponds to possible energy savings in terms of less fuel consumption in the range of 7 – 18 %. This relates not only to the savings of fuel but also to the non-production of green house gas CO2. Steam expander form tribosystems, which can´t be lubricated with oils, as hot steam hydro-cracks these fluids. Suited tribomaterials as well as their tribo-oxidatively reaction layers must be first steam degradation resistant and for the tribotesting of such candidate material, tribological testing devices for a hot steam environment are needed. Not much is known so far about the tribological properties of any material system running under pressurized hot steam conditions. For these reasons and for being able to evaluate tribological properties in hot steam, BAM has developed and built a new and sealed tribometer for hot steam allowing evaluating tribological properties up to 700°C and 10 bars in gaseous atmospheres like hot steam or ethanol.
Experimental results on the wear of self-mated aluminum oxide and MgO-ZrO2 couples show that friction as well as wear is largely determined by the above mentioned hydro-thermal conditions. In this system the presence of water and its amount available in the system either in liquid or in gaseous form plays a key role for wear behavior and can beneficial. Ethanol and/or water-ethanol mixtures can form beneficial tribofilms, also on specific diamond-like carbon films.
The slip-rolling 2Disk tribometer from Optimol Instruments represented the technological evolution in tribotesting of the well-known AMSLER-type tribometer marketed in 1922. Both use two discs with the same outer diameter rolling against each other on their circumference. In the AMSLER, the lower disc dips into an oil reservoir, whereas in the 2Disk the oil is injected into the contact. The oil supply of the 2Disk is controlled by pump and temperature by a heat exchanger.
High-power piezo-electric motors with power densities of 1.4 kW/kg display a potential for substituting hydraulic actuators. For this application, two novel tribometers of the same type have been designed using commercially available components for sliding motion at 40 kHz with amplitudes between 2.5 µm and 5 µm. The tribometers are equipped with means to measure amplitude, frequency, power required to keep the samples in motion and load applied. The effective motion between the two contacting bodies is monitored in each of the tribometers. These data are used to evaluate the coefficient of friction. The wear rate was determined after the tests. The set-ups were tested using well-known 100Cr6H (AISI 52100) samples before investigating novel, non-commercial substrates such as AlFeCrTi-alloys and tungsten carbide-based coatings as well as Magnéli-type coatings (Tin-2Cr2O2n-1 and TinO2n-1). This paper presents the principle of the ultra-high frequency tribometers and first tribological quantities of materials and coatings tested up to and above 1011 cycles. Very low wear rates in the range 10-8 mm³/Nm down to 10-10 mm³/Nm were determined under dry oscillation in air.

Einen großen Beitrag zur Gewichtseinsparung leistet die Substitution von Grauguss-Legierungen durch moderne Aluminiumlegierungen für Pkw Kurbelgehäuse. Zur Erhöhung der tribologischen und thermomechanischen Belastungsgrenzen von Aluminiumoberflächen kommen thermisch gespritzte Schichten in Frage. Zielsetzung nachfolgender Untersuchungen ist es außermotorisch unter Misch-/Grenzreibung das tribologische Potenzial von thermisch gespritzten keramischen Schichtwerkstoffen auf Basis der Stoffsysteme Cr2O3, Cr2O3/TiO2, Cr3C2/NiCr, TiO2, TiO2/Al2O3 im Vergleich zu aktuell serienmäßig eingesetzten Graugusswerkstoffen zu ermitteln. Die Oberflächentopographien und die Schmierstoffe determinieren gegenüber GG26Cr die Verschleißsenkungspotenziale der keramischen Schichten. Eine Reduzierung der Reibungszahlen wird nicht durch keramische Oberflächenbeschichtungen, sondern durch den Einsatz von Polyglykolen als Schmiermedium erzielt.
