Anti-Wear and Reduce-Friction Ability of ZrO₂/SiO₂ Self-Lubricating Composites

Abstract:

In this paper, the author does research on the surface modified of nanometer ZrO2/SiO2 composite and makes it a good dispersivity in organic solvents. As lubricating oil additive, added it into the base oil with different concentration. Anti-wear and reducing friction performances measured by the four ball test and the thrust-ring tribotester. The results showed that the average friction coefficient decreased 21.14%, the weight lost of the thrust-ring was no wear or negative wear when the additive concentration was 1wt%. The worn surfaces were quite different compared without additive, the grooves formed during the friction experiment become smooth and finally a narrow wear scar. There were many white particles and dimples on gray surface, the white particles were higher than those of gray parts. The white particles was ZrO2/SiO2 composites according to EDS and XRD analysis. The Si and Zr elements appeared on the worn surfaces can not be cleaned out in petroleum ether and ultrasonic ambiance, this is a dynamic self-healing mechanism .
