Abstract

Searching for new effective ways of increasing the wear resistance of power transmissions and improving their durability, the authors propose a device for enriching the lubrication system of power transmissions with copper-alloying elements. The tribochemical processes have been studied and the components of the lubricating composition have been selected to provide for the self-organized selective transfer in the “steel-steel” friction couples accompanied by the formation of a servovit film. The authors developed a utility model for enriching the lubricating system oil with copper-alloying elements for power transmission. For testing the effectiveness of the proposed additive and the method of forming the servovit film during operation, a roller test bench was used. It provided for synchronous measurement of the wear rate and the friction force moment during the whole experiment without disconnecting the friction zone. The friction zone (test contact) was formed by the cyclic surfaces of a roller with a diameter of 70.0 ± 0.1 mm made of steel 45 (HRs 50) and a homogenized pad with a radius of 35.0 ± 0.1 mm and dimensions (plan view) of 2.01 mm (along the sliding line) and 7.27 mm (across the sliding line). The friction area was 0.1461 cm2. A set of normal forces: 730; 925; and 1130 N – was experimentally determined to ensure that there was no seizure. The shaft speed of 100 min-1 (a linear velocity of 0.37 m) was experimentally chosen under the condition of guaranteed absence of the hydrodynamic lubrication mode. The presented method of cladding additive production is easily implemented in the transmission units and also prevents the sedimentary instability of the lubricating composition. The device for enriching the lubricating system oil with copper alloying elements in the process of operation provides for a stable and self-organized mode of selective transfer. The results of tribological studies have shown the high efficiency of the cladding additive – the wear rate in the range of the normal force of 720 to 1130 N has reduced in 2.8…7 times.
