Tribological profile of hydraulic oils by using SRV. The determination of a set of critical, tribological by using different SRV-based test methods. The SRV-based concept of tribological profile generates the wear volumes on two triboelements (specimen), the extreme pressure properties and friction under different contact pressures.
Thus, the benchmark and validation of hydraulic oils bear on a wider range of tribological properties.
The RR2016 extends with six hydraulic oils to other base oil types including biodegradable fluids, which were all tested according to ASTM D7043 in order to consolidate the correlation between SRV and V104C.
Actions from the meeting in April 2016: 1. Four SAC test methods are in place and were revised: SH/T 0721 (Grease, coefficient of friction and wear), SH/T 0784 (Grease, pass load/O.K. load), SH/T 0847 (Oil, coefficient of friction and wear) and SH/T 0882 released by 11-2014 (Oil, pass load/O.K. load). 2. New test method to evaluate anti-fretting properties of greases based was approved by SAC TC280 and will be released. 3. SAC TC280 accepted the project “Simulation of synchronizer by using SRV”. Draft text to be submitted by 03-2017. Discussions on a parallel ASTM test method. 4. A procedure for “Wear Volume” is under development for SAC TC280.
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.
Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron (CADI) microstructures containing eutectic carbides can be produced by the addition of carbide stabilizing elements, such as chromium. Carbides formed from the addition of Cr are eutectic of M3C type. The presence of such hard phases can enhance the abrasion wear resistance of ductile iron. A new CADI can be produced by the addition of Nb. Niobium carbide particles are formed in the beginning of solidification and remain stable once they are insoluble in solid iron matrix. The dry sand abrasive wear resistance of ductile irons alloyed with 1.0, 1.8, and 2.4 wt% Nb were tested in both “as-cast” and “heat treated” conditions using standard ASTM G65. Results were compared to abrasive wear data obtained on ductile iron alloyed with 1 wt% Cr, CADI (1 wt% Cr), and the basic composition of iron without carbide stabilizing elements. In the “ascast” condition, the addition of Nb did not lead to a reduction in wear, while CADI with Nb is a promising substitute for CADI with Cr addition, because both materials showed very similar values of abrasion resistance.
Micro-ploughing and micro-cutting mechanisms were observed on the worn surfaces of ductile irons. Abrasive wear resistance of these alloys was correlated with the volume fraction of carbides.
The process window and range of functional properties of NbC is wide, because micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear resistance, elastic modulus and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb ratio, because Nb4C3, Nb6C5 and other short and long range ordered phases occur in the region of homogeneity of NbCx (0,75≤ x ≤1.0) in the binary Phase diagram, and by the type of binder. Further improvements enable the addition of secondary carbides. Supporting results from literature and different grades with varying C/Nb ratio or binder types were illuminated. Thus, the NbC system offers to producers a wider process window, than WC. The impact of these tailored properties on sliding wear and cutting performance was illuminated by tribological and machining results. NbC can be synthesized by carbothermal conversion of Nb2O5 or be metallurgically grown in melts and leached out as coarse NbC cubes. NbC provides comparably lower friction in many relevant tribo-contacts and displays low wear. NbC and Nb2O5 have so far no REACH classification related to human toxicology and are not listed as substances of very high concern contrary to WO3 and Co3O4.
The cause and type of solid particle erosion varies across different industries and locations in plants, for instance the particles could be volcanic ash in aero-engines, fly ash in boilers, exfoliated scale in steam turbines or mineral matter in oil excavation. In all cases the durability of materials can be improved through better surface engineering and coatings, but the development of these is restricted also due to lack of generic models. In this respect, the simulation of a single impact with finite element methods using 100.000 knots would take about 15 minutes. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, up to one billion of such impacts would have to be considered. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, the current work presents an alternative approach capable of calculating about half a billion impacts on a substrate in less than six hours on a standard PC. The predictions of the simulation will be compared to a steel sample at 600°C eroded by aluminum oxide particles with a velocity around 210 m/s.
In the present work an approach is presented which combines various aspects of the former models with probability considerations. It is used to simulate the impact of more than one billion Alumina particles onto a steel substrate. This approach permits the simulation of an entire erosion experiment on an average PC within about six hours.
This paper shows how Angle-Resolved Scattering can reveal wear on engineered surfaces. The samples studied, three discs made of steel 100Cr6H used in gear wheels in the automotive industry, were assessed after they had undergone ball-on-disc tests. Scattering maps recorded for spatial frequencies from 0.1 µm-1 to 2.7 µm-1 show a contrast inversion around 0.36 µm-1 revealing the wear trace. Besides measurements of rms roughness, where mean values are 20 nm and 24 nm depending on the locations considered, stationarity and isotropy, we demonstrate the ability of the technique to reveal localized wear on this type of surface in a rapid, robust and convenient way. We show that the tool trace is influenced by the load magnitude rather than by the number of oscillation cycles and highlight the key role played by surface roughness in how the sample responds to wear tests.
The tribotesting categories have different scopes with associated "pros" and "cons" and results obtained in one category cannot be simply transferred to another. The impact of design overrules in general the influence of the metallurgy or materials choice. The "cheap" test methods aim pre-screening and assessment of basic properties as well as use mainly for the test specimens SAE E52100 (100Cr6, SUJ2) ball bearing steel and carbon steels. The main test geometries are ball-on-flat/(disk) or block-on-ring apart 4-ball geometry. The tribological test conditions. This enabled "dynamic" testing, where during a test the "critical" solicitations were repeatedly and freely passed.
Automotive engine lubricants
(2019)
In 2003, ASTM Manual 37, Fuels and Lubricants Handbook: Technology, Properties, Performance and Testing, featured a chapter discussing automotive lubricants, including engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, manual transmission fluids, gear lubricants, and greases. This chapter, by Schwartz, Tung, and McMillan, surveyed all of these classes of lubricants, up to its publication in 2003.
More recently, the period between 2003 and 2010 has been addressed as part of a book copublished by ASTM and SAE International (coeditors Simon Tung and George Totten), where Fox surveyed the development of engine oil specifications that emerged during those years.
This chapter surveys the evolution of engine oil design and testing since 2002 and concludes with insights into future directions offered by recent tribological research. Our objective is to provide a reader new to the field with an understanding of the following:
- Engine oil composition and formulation
- North American engine oil specification development, and an outline of emergent European specifications
- How emergent specifications and legislative requirements are linked to the introduction of new engine hardware
- How tribological innovation can contribute to future enhancements in engine efficiency
In parallel, we will provide several tables comparing groups of contemporaneous specifications.
The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of high-performance coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents some recently developed DLC coatings (a-C:H and ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system (Zr(C,N)) in a benchmark test procedure under slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. Various coatings with different thickness, interlayer and substrates were evaluated for their slip-rolling resistance in different lubricants at ambient temperature and at 120 °C. Results indicate that some of these coating systems can withstand at least 10 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to Pmax = 3.500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions. Surface of the coatings and the counter bodies were analysed and compared with untreated substrates.
The research institution TEKNIKER has coordinated the EUROPEAN Project EREBIO, were different biodegradable lubricants have been formulated by FUCHS and BAM for heavy duty engines (GUASCOR), and passenger cars (RENAULT). In the frame of this article, it has been summarised the results obtained when developing biodegradable passenger car lubricants in combination with triboreactive materials.
Replacing hydrocarbon-based oils with biodegradable products is one of the ways to reduce adverse effects on the ecosystem caused by the use of lubricants. The application of low or no sulphur, ash and phosphorous (lowSAP) ester- or polyglycol-based oils, intended for passenger car engine lubricants as substitutes for hydrocarbon-based oils, required the preparation of a composition of lubricants with comparable tribological and functional properties.
The study is focussed on passenger car motor oils (PCMO) with reduced metal-organic additives. This is necessary in order to reduce the ash build-up in the after treatment system and therefore improve its efficiency and lifetime. High fuel efficiency and long drain intervals are requested, as well. To follow a line in a consequent way, these oils have to be biodegradable and non-toxic to the aqueous environment according to the directive EC/1999/45, coherent with other international standard. In a modern diesel or gasoline engine, the engine oils has to fulfil quite a number of different functions, such as lubricating and cooling the system, wear protection, soot and particle handling with less deposit tendency and so on.
In the paper a study of the biodegradability, toxicity and the tribological properties has been carried out for new developed prototype engine bio-oils. Also, some different plasma sprayed triboreactive coatings have been deposited on cast iron piston rings, being studied also their tribological properties. Finally, the behaviour of the new bio-oils selected and plasma sprayed triboreactive coatings on piston rings have been screened in a real engine.
Biolubrifiants
(2011)
Un point de départ pour la mise en route des lubrifiants « neutre à l'environnement » ont été les huiles perdues et les fuites accidentelles, les lubrifiants perdus rejoignant les sols et les eaux (voir lac de Constance).
Même en prenant en compte les voies du recyclage, la combustion dans les moteurs et les fuites connues, environ 30 % (entre 20 % et 40 %, selon les études) du volume de lubrifiants entre dans l'environnement par des voies non attribuables ou est probablement mis en décharge de manière illégale.
Avec de tels chiffres publics, les arguments des lobbyistes de l'industrie pétrochimique, affirmant que, dans la plupart des applications, les fluides sont enfermés dans des réservoirs clos et étanches, ne convainquent pas les politiques. C'est aussi peut-être parce que, en Allemagne, environ 60 % des particuliers changent leur huile eux-mêmes.

Les huiles perdues, les fuites accidentelles et les lubrifiants perdus rejoignant les sols et les eaux (comme ce fut le cas pour le lac de Constance par exemple) sont l'un des points de departs de la mise en route des lubrifiants « neutres pour l'environnement».
Meme en prenant en compte les voies du recyclage, la combustion dans les moteurs et les fuites connues, environ 30 % (entre 20 % et 40 %, selon les etudes du votume de lubrifiants entrent dans l'environnement par des voies non maitrisees ou sont probablement mis en decharge de maniere illegale. Avec de tels chiffres publies, les arguments des lobbyistes de l'industrie petrochimique, affirmant que, dans la plupart des applications, les fluides sont enfermes dans des reservoirs dos et etanches, ne convainquent pas les politiques. C'est aussi peut-etre parce qu'en Allemagne, environ 60 % des particuliers changent leur huile eux-memes.
Dans une annee d'economie normale, environ 4,5 millions de tonnes de lubrifiants neufs sont vendues dans l'Europe des 15.
The frictional response of molybdenum bis(C11-14 branched and linear alkyl) carbamodithioate oxo thioxo complex (Mo-dttc) versus bismuth dimethyldithiocarbamate (Bi-dtc) and bismuth dodecylbenzene Sulfonate (Bi-ddbsa) slip-rolling under mixed/boundary lubrication (T=120°C, n=10 millions of cycles, P0max=2.25 GPa) in PAO-based formulation against three different steel alloys were compared.
Costs reduction is one of the major objectives in mechanical applications with a parallel increase of the power output. Another driver represents new environmental standards and their increasing restrictions in the automotive industry leading to the question, if materials based concepts may substitute harmful EP/AW additives in lubricants. This paper presents the slip-rolling resistance of different DLC/THC coatings on steel substrates with a definite slip rate of 10%. Industrial DLC coatings of ta-C and a-C:H types from various manufacturers were deposited on steels SAE 52100 and AMS 5898 to compile the slip-rolling resistance under initial average Hertzian contact pressures between 1.5 GPa and 2 GPa. The tests were carried out on Amsler-type twin disc tribometer under the regime of mixed/boundary lubrication in unadditivated paraffinic oil (ISO VG 46) and a factory fill engine oil. The spherical steel sample was uncoated and the cylindrical coated with DLC. Some coatings achieved 10 million cycles without any damage under a maximal Hertzian contact pressure Pmax well over 2.25 GPa, thus exceeding FZG 12.
The aim of this research is to characterize a surface that has experienced low wear on asperities. The procedure used is similar to an Abbott-Firestone approach and based on functional bearing of projected area, surface area and material volume. Surface features extracted from surface height maps provide more comprehensive information about topography changes due to wear. Thus, they were used to detect low wear volumes on the top of asperities.
The tribological behaviour under dry sliding conditions of Magneli phase Ti4O7 and e-phase Ti2Cr2O7 with α-alumina as a sliding partner has been characterised at room temperature by oscillating sliding. The mechanical properties as well as Vickers hardness measurements do not reveal big differences between the materials, and 4-point bending strengths are around 200 MPa for both materials. Although the friction coefficients are in the medium range of 0.6 and do not differ much between the materials, the wear behaviour is very different. At room temperature, the wear coefficient of Ti2O7 is strongly dependent on relative humidity, and wear is highest under dry conditions when relative humidity is low as it is typically found for many ceramic materials. Ti2Cr2O7 shows remarkably different wear behaviour with the lowest wear in dry conditions. The measured coefficients of wear at low relative humidity of 4% are more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than those for Ti2O7.
Coatings for slip-rolling
(2014)
The automotive industry places significant importance on downsizing components to achieve greater efficiency. The goal of reducing CO2 emissions has led to the development of lightweight materials that are also able to enhance performance. In light of these aspirations, the aim of this study is to characterize two novel, high-performance steels, as well as a 'classical' gear steel for comparison with each other and currently applied materials. The gear steel underwent carburization and subsequent deep freezing treatments in an attempt to yield discrete sample groups with respect to residual austenite. The high-performance steels were heat treated as recommended by their respective manufacturers, and were not carburized. Elemental analyses were conducted by multiple methods to ensure accurate results. Residual austenite contents of the steels and the depth profiles of residual stresses were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Hardness profiles were taken from the testing surfaces into the material core. The carburization of 20MnCr5 led to higher hardness and the greater concentration of carbon in the carburization zone more representative of a hardened SAE E52100, or 100Cr6/102Cr6, than of a non-carburized 20MnCr5. Residual austenite contents ranging from approximately 6–14 vol% were generated, though effectively providing only two, rather than the desired four discrete sample groups. Residual stresses from machining and carburization were measured directly at the sample surface, and from carburization alone below the surface. The high-performance steels fulfilled manufacturer expectations in terms of elemental content, hardness between 50 and 55 HRC and strongly martensitic microstructure character. Finally, slip-rolling endurance testing (T=+120 °C, 10,000,000 cycles, approximately 19 days in a factory fill engine oil) was carried out on all materials, whereby coefficient of friction distributions during testing and wear coefficients after testing were calculated. Testing was performed up to and including P0Mean=1.94 GPa (P0Max=2.91 GPa, FN=2000 N). Ultimately, the non-carburized high-performance steels showed competitive wear performance and better friction behaviour than the carburized 20MnCr5, which has been attributed to their work hardening capability.
The aim of the study presented in this paper is to highlight the potential of niobium carbide cutting tool inserts for machining and to compare their performance to commercially available tungsten carbide inserts. In this work, a comparison between a conventional Wc-Co insert and NbC-Co inserts was carried out under hard machining conditions on specimens made of 100Cr6 bearing steel grade (SAE 52100).
We review contact mechanics with emphasis on the rheological (time dependent) properties of polymers and their relations to surface roughness, material properties, and friction as well as wear behavior of rubbing polymer surfaces. The main concept of polymer mechanics related to tribology consists of three basic elements involved in friction: deformation resulting in the real area of contact of rough surfaces, contact adhesion, and shear and rupture of materials in the contact during the sliding friction. The results of classical work are included, which addresses the real contact area calculation and the description of adhesion interaction between rough surfaces. A brief review of experimental investigations concerning the surface characterization by means of bearing curves, the intermolecular force interaction using the adhesion parameter, the effect of temperature on the real contact area, the formation of transferred polymer film during friction, and tribological behavior of ultrathin polymer layers are presented and their implications discussed.
A correlation of adhesion force and electrical conductivity is established for a vanadium oxide and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Adhesion forces were determined by analysis of pull-off forces obtained from force–distance curves with atomic force microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum, on clean surfaces and with defined contact conditions. The investigated samples include (i) different stoichiometries of Magnéli-type vanadium oxides (V3O5, V4O7, V6O11, and V7O13), which undergo metal-insulator-transitions as a function of temperature, (ii) the (0001) basal plane and the (10–10) prism plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), which differ in their respective perpendicular-plane electrical conductivities by several orders of magnitude, and (iii) the (100) surfaces of pure metal single crystals, i.e., silver (Ag), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and gold (Au). It is shown, that the vanadium oxides as well as the graphite exhibit significantly lower adhesion forces in their electrical conductive state than in their non-electrical conductive state. The values obtained for the electrical conductive states are quantitatively confirmed by the measurements on the single crystal metals.
Le secteur automobile doit faire face actuellement à de nouveaux challenges au niveau de la construction allégée, des économies de carburant et des coûts. Ces exigences motivent la mise au point de tribosystèmes pouvant résister à des pressions de contact de plus en plus élevées avec de faibles coefficients de frottement. L'optimisation de systèmes existants par l'application de revêtements de surface performants représente une alternative intéressante. Ce texte présente les performances de couches minces dans des conditions d'essais de slip-rolling (roulement à composante de glissement) en présence de lubrifiants liquides. Après une première sélection à température ambiante, les revêtements les plus performants ont été testés à 120 °C. Il s'agit de revêtements DLC en carbone hydrogéné (a-C:H) et en carbone tétraédrique (ta-C) de dernières générations ainsi qu'un nouveau système « revêtement/substrat ». Certains des revêtements DLC développés récemment sont résistants en slip-rolling au moins jusq'à 10 millions de cycles à 120 °C dans l'huile moteur sous des pressions hertziennes de contact de P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. De plus, le nouveau système revêtement Zr(C,N)x/substrat peut résister au moins à 1 million de cycles sous des pressions hertziennes initiales de contact allant jusqu'à P0max = 3500 MPa et à des températures de lubrifiant d'au moins 120 °C. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of surface coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents thin film coatings performances in a bench mark test procedure exerting slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. After a first selection at room temperature, the most resistant coatings were evaluated at 120 °C. These are newly developed DLC coatings (a-C:H & ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system. Some of the newly developed DLC-coatings are slip-rolling resistant for at least up to 10 million cycles at 120 °C oil temperature) under Hertzian contact pressures of P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. Furthermore, this novel Zr-based thin film coating can withstand at least 1 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to P0max = 3500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions.
The present paper illuminates the metallurgical progress on niobium carbide based hard metal developments, which are characterized by: a.) the substitution of cobalt binder by nickel, b.) the change from SPS to conventional sintering and c.) by switching from lab to pilot scale. The toughness was increased in the frame of these developments without loosening the hardness level. The hardness-toughness profile of NbC grades match those of WC and cermet grades. Apart from the aforementioned parameters, the properties depend from the powder processing and sintering conditions.
The functional profile of nickel and NiMo bonded NbC versus cobalt bondedWC grades bonded by cobalt and nickel are benchmarked under dry sliding wear (T= 22/400°C; v= 0,1-10 m/s), abrasive wear (G65) and under dry turning and dry milling against different work piece alloys (C45E, 42CrMo4, 300WA, GG35, AlSi9Cu4Mg). The different elements explaining the wear resistance of NbC over WC will be illuminated.
