Investigation of Action Mechanism of Additives from Mineral Raw Materials
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2011, Vol 33, Issue 3
Abstract
The structural changes of friction surfaces and assosiated changes of main tribological characteristics (coefficuient of friction, weight wear) taking place as a result of introduction of additive into the lubricating oil were investigated. It is shown that the mechanism of additive action is based on its specific composition and dispersity. The positive effect of the additive is demonstrated by structural examinations with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), profile recording and microhardness measurements as well as by tribological tests conducted using the pair of “cast iron - chromium” (typical friction pair of the cylinder-piston assembly in the most modern engines).

A Comparative Study on Wear Properties of As Cast, Cast Aged and Forge Aged A356 Alloy with Addition of Grain Refiner and/or Modifier
In the present work, a comparative wear behavior study of three categories of materials viz, as cast, cast aged (casting followed by T6) and forge aged (forging followed by T6) has been investigated. Neither melt treatme...
Tribological Characterisation of PBT + Glass Bead Composites with the Help of Block-on-Ring Test
The materials involved in this research study were produced by die moulding in order to obtain bone samples type 1A (SR EN ISO 527‐ 2:2003). These composites have a matrix of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) commercial g...
Monitoring Physical and Chemical Characteristics Oil for Lubrication
Different technical systems require for the appropriate lubricant to be used at the appropriate place, at the appropriate time and in an appropriate quantity. Determination of technical systems condition has very importa...
