Abstract
AbstractTo study the synergistic lubricating effects of graphene oxide (GO) and lanthanum fluoride (LaF3), and find a new anti‐wear additive, oleic acid surface‐modified graphene oxide‐lanthanum fluoride (OA‐GO‐LaF3, OGL) composite nano‐additive was prepared by hydrothermal method by using oleic acid as the modifier. The morphology, structure, composition, element valence, thermal stability and tribological properties of nano additives were characterised by a series of modern characterisation methods. Results show that OGL has a higher degree of graphitization, smaller particle size, more homogeneous disperse, higher LaF3 load and stronger thermal stability than that of GL. The tribological properties of OGL which is modified by oleic acid are better than unmodified GL. Analysis of the friction mechanism shows that both OGL and GL can generate LaF3 physical adsorption films through adsorption during the friction process and tribochemical reactions film containing lanthanum compounds, carbon oxide compounds, and iron oxide compounds on the friction surface. These physical adsorption films and chemical reaction film can improve lubrication.
