CHARACTERIZATION OF NANO-GROOVED SUPERFICIAL LAYER OF COMPUTER MICROBEARINGS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2011, Vol 240, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper presents the measurement of superficial layer properties for a new undamaged journal and sleeve microbearing surfaces occurring in computer ventilator Kama Flow SP0825FDB12H 80 mm, in computer ventilator Xilence Case Fan 92 mm, and in computer Hard Disc Driver 2.5” Samsung HM 160 HI, 5400 rpm, and computer Hard Disc Driver 3.5” Seagate Barakuda, 7200.10 ST 380815AS, 7200 rpm. Indentation of the points during the measurements of the modulus of elasticity of the superficial layer material was performed using the static-force spectroscopy mode of the AFM. Moreover, Vickers micro-hardness value studies for journal and sleeve surface using micro-hardness Tester PMT-3M-LOMO-Russia are presented. Developed measurements from scanning electron microscope and micro-X-ray analysis, using Mira TESCAN INCA, illustrating images of journal and sleeve work surfaces taking into account Microscopy system, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) roughness tests with 3D images of journal and sleeve work surfaces and profiles of their cross sections are also presented. The determined changes in the modulus of elasticity in the thickness of the superficial layer indicate the changes of the elasticity modulus on the nano-groove and nano-ridge surfaces. In the super thin microbearing gaps smaller than 1 micrometer, the oil dynamic viscosity depends on the modulus of elasticity of the bearing material laying on the micro bearing surfaces. Therefore, the oil dynamic viscosity changes in the boundary layers around the grooves and ridges on the bearing surface.
