A Failure Criterion of Friction Pair under Boundary Lubrication

Abstract:

The formation and lubrication mechanism of boundary lubricating film were discussed. The boundary lubricating film includes adsorption film and chemical reaction film, and has respective temperature operating range. The adsorption film adsorbed in metal surface by Van-der Wads, and the parenchyma is the external friction between adsorption molecule layers. The chemical reaction film is made by the reaction between metal and extreme pressure additive in base oil, and the anti-wear capability is realized by the low-melting point eutectic alloy. The temperature is regarded as a judge criterion for failure of boundary lubrication. The failure model for boundary lubricating film is established. According to the failure model, the failure criterion proposed is effective by analysis of the spiral bevel gear using the finite element method. These results provide a basis for the application of boundary lubrication.
