THE EFFECT OF WATER LUBRICATION WITH ADDITION OF NON-IONIC AND ANIONIC SURFACTANTS ON THE WEAR OF THE FRICTION PAIR WITH A CONCENTRATED CONTACT
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2017, Vol 274, Issue 4
Abstract
In order to minimize losses caused by friction, various technical solutions are applied. Most frequently, however, they are limited to proper lubrication. Two aspects of the problem have to be taken into consideration nowadays: ecology and an economic approach, which involves a possibility of the creation of the cheapest lubrication compositions. Therefore, new lubricants which have a neutral impact on the environment and are characterised by the lowest production costs and the highest effectiveness in the wear of co-operating elements are researched. The main purpose of this paper is an evaluation of the influence of water-based lubrication with an addition of non-ionic and anionic surface-active substances on the wear of a friction pair with a concentrated contact. Laboratory tests were carried out with the use of a T-02 four-ball wear tester and a digital microscope. A series of measurements were conducted in which a tribological connection was lubricated with water and a mixture of water and non-ionic and anionic surfactants of various mass concentrations in reference to water. The conducted research takes into account criteria connected with the minimization of the production costs of lubricating compositions and the minimization of their influence on the environment with a simultaneous limitation of the wear of the co-operating elements. The results obtained in the research enabled an analysis of the influence of the additions of detergents at various concentrations on water lubricating properties, water surface tension, and the volumetric wear of the analysed samples.
