Abstract
The embedding situation between various nanoparticles and rough surfaces affects the lubrication characteristics of rolling bearings. If not properly handled, this can easily lead to wear damage of rolling bearings. Therefore, the friction and wear mechanism of nano-lubricated high-speed rolling bearings under various nanoparticle embedded states is studied in this manuscript. Mixed oils containing different sized SiO2 nanoparticles and dispersants are prepared, and then the tribology test of nano-lubricated high-speed rolling bearings considering the interaction between various nanoparticles and the rough surfaces is conducted. The friction and wear properties such as coefficient of friction, wear volume and real-time temperature rise of high-speed rolling bearings under different embedding conditions are revealed, and the anti-wear mechanism of the nano-lubricated high-speed rolling bearings is obtained. The results show that compared to the complete non-embedded state, the complete embedded state of different nanoparticles effectively improves the anti-wear effect of the bearing. When the nanoparticle mixed oil is added, the bearing still has good anti-wear performance under the conditions of high speed and lack of oil. As for the light loaded rolling bearing adopted with nano-mixed oil, the coefficient of friction is appropriately increased, as well as the skid reduced, while the wear of the rolling bearing is effectively reduced. This research will provide theoretical basis and important reference for nano-lubrication and its application in aviation rolling bearings.
