Abstract :
The effect of surface-coated ultrafine powders (UFPs) of serpentine suspended in lubricants on the tribological behaviors of a mated 1045 steel contact was investigated. Through the addition of serpentine UFPs to oil, the wear resistance ability was improved and the friction coefficient was decreased. The addition of 1.5 wt% serpentine to oil is found most efficient in reducing friction and wear. The nano-hardness and the ratio of hardness to modulus of friction surface are observably increased. Such effects can be attributed to the formation of a tribofilm of multi-apertured oxide layer, on which the micrometric alumina particles embedded and serpentine nano-particles adsorbed.
