Исследование антифрикционных и противоизносных свойств смазочных материалов судового назначения, содержащих слоистый модификатор трения

Abstract

The paper highlights the results of anti-friction and anti-wear tests of samples of lubricating media containing a layered friction modifier - molybdenum diselenide. The main variable test conditions are the load on the test samples, volume concentration of the layered friction modifier in the lubricating oil, preliminary storage time of the lubricating composition before testing. The main evaluation criteria are the mass wear of samples, wear intensity, friction coefficient. Each of the eight test cycles was implemented on a tribotechnical installation of an original design using a cylindrical contact type. The resource indicators transferred from the model conditions of the tests to the real tribological unit “ring-cylinder” of a marine diesel engine 6ChSP 18/22 were evaluated. According to the results of tribological studies, the effect of increasing the load on the model friction unit of the installation, containing a cylindrical wear pair of alloyed gray cast iron, was revealed, as a result of which the mass wear of the annular movable sample increases, and the resource transferred to the real tribological interface of the marine diesel engine “ring-cylinder” decreases in 1.13-1.23 times. The greatest influence on the wear indicators of model samples and the resource transferred to the real “ring-cylinder” interface of a marine diesel engine is the time of preliminary storage of a lubricant composition containing molybdenum diselenide as an additive. It has been proven that the deterioration of anti-friction properties (an increase in the average surface temperature of a segment sample and the friction force) is largely affected by a decrease in the volume concentration of an anti-wear additive in the oil. It has been found out that serious changes in the indicated estimated parameters are valid for the smallest loading step on the samples. General recommendations are formulated for the use of antiwear additives considered in the studies. It has been proved that storing lubricating compositions with additives is possible for a period of no longer than 3-4 days at given volume concentrations in the range of 0.5-1.0%, since if this period is exceeded by 25-40%, the diesel CPG resource may be halved with increased wear of its piston rings and cylinder liners.
