Surface-modified serpentine powders with an average size of 1.0μm were dispersed into mineral base oil to improve the lubricating properties of oil, as well as to generate a thin tribofilm on the worn surface. SEM, TEM, nano-indentation and Stribeck testing were performed to study the morphology, microstructure, micromechanical properties and tribological behavior of the tribofilm, respectively. Results...
When rolling bearings are operated in the boundary and mixed friction regime, there is a risk of wear which can be minimized by the application of suitable lubricants with anti-wear additives. These lubricants form surface-bound additive-based tribolayers under tribological strain. The trend towards a reduction of additive concentration requires new methods of effective wear protection. In this study,...
Rain erosion of leading edges of wind turbine blades is caused by repeated high speed liquid droplet impacts, which causes damage in the form of pitting or peeling over time and can lead to a significant reduction in performance if left untreated. Due to an increase in the tip speed of modern wind turbine blades, rain erosion is becoming an increasingly prominent issue. Currently, polymeric coatings...
