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.
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.
OEMs perceive diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings as part of a strategy for low frictional tribosystems. Especially the automotive industry anticipates a benefit in applying such coatings in association with the lightweight construction of mechanical parts, for instance in gears and engines. In previous investigations it was shown, that DLC, amorphous carbon (a-C) and tetragonal amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings can be slip-rolling resistant at least up to ten million load cycles at Hertzian contact pressures P0max of 2.9 GPa lubricated by engine oil at 120°C, Further improvements in load carrying capacity up to P0mean of 2.62 GPa (FN= 5,000 N) were achieved with alternative, available Steel metallurgies as Substrates for thin film coatings. Additional factors, such as influences of the lubrication on the surface chemistry (additives and base oils), wear and friction behavior were investigated.
Leichtbaustrategien im Antriebsstrang erhöhen durch Downsizing die Hertz’schen Kontaktpressungen und die mechanischen Lasten. Dadurch müssen neben wälzbeständigen Stählen auch dazu passende reibungsmindernde Konzepte gefunden werden, in der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden alternative, hoch zähe Stähle mit einer Wälzbeständigkeit bis Pomax = 4,2 GPa untersucht, welche mit geeigneten Grundöl- und Additivkombinationen die Reibungszahlen herunter auf 0,025 reduzieren konnten. Diese alternativen Stahllegierungen erlauben nicht nur an der Zahnflanke sehr hohe Kontaktpressungen, sie bieten außerdem entsprechende Zähigkeits- und Festigkeitseigenschaften für den Zahnfuß. In vorangegangenen Untersuchungen wurde eine Vielzahl verschiedener Dünnschichten auf ihre Überrollbeständigkeit unter Extrembeanspruchungen validiert. Allerdings zeigte sich bei den meisten Dünnschichten ein Qualitätsunterschied von Charge zu Charge. Unter Verwendung verschiedener organischer, metallorganischer und anorganischer Additive konnten, sich daran anschließende Versuche, vielversprechende Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Sämtliche Versuche unter extremen Beanspruchungen wurden bei +120°C Öltemperatur auf Zwei-Scheiben-Tribometern vom Typ AMSLER und 2Disk von Optimol Instruments unter Misch-/Grenzreibungsbedingungen durchgeführt und die tribologischen Eigenschaften der neuartigen, unbeschichteten Stähle und in Relation zu leistungsstarken DLC-/ZrCN Dünnschichten gesetzt.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users perceive 'Zero Wear' differently. The 'Zero Wear' approach will be put into a general relation for different applications and illuminated by individual paths, either based on monolithic materials, thin film coatings or alternative base oils, featuring triboactive materials and lubricious oxides for tribological engine components and dry running foil bearings or specific DLC, ta-C and novel Zirconium-based thin film coatings for concentrated contacts above FZG 14 and alternative engine oils (NoSAP & bio-no-tox). The associated tribometric test equipments for these examples will also be detailed.
Some of the properties intrinsically present in the backbone of polyalkylene glycols (PAGs), which have nowadays attracted the automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), are presented, such as bio-no-tox properties, heat capacity, extended drains, low friction, low AlSi-liner wear, fuel economy, and very high viscosity indices, and are achieved with metal-, ash-, and polymer-free formulations, which guarantee no adverse contamination of the lambda sensor and the active centers of the catalyzer as well as not to increase the exhaust back pressure of the particulate filter through ash deposits. This paper illuminates the latest results from OEM's engine bench and road testing supporting the following functional benefits: (a) bio-no-tox, (b) improvements of fuel economy, even when compared with latest hydrocarbon-based prototype oils, (c) reduced wear, (d) reduced engine friction, (e) extended drains, (f) suited for bio-fuels, (g) no adverse effects on after-treatment devices through ash-, metal-, and polymer-free formulations, etc.
