Abstract
A controllable and variable magnetic field was got by improving the oil cup of a MS-800 four-ball tester. By this improved four-ball tester, the tribological properties of Mn 0.78Zn 0.22Fe 2O 4 magnetic fluid in the magnetic field were tested. The worn surfaces of the steel balls lubricated with 6 wt% Mn 0.78Zn 0.22Fe 2O 4 magnetic fluid under different magnetic fields were observed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the elemental compositions of the wear scars were analyzed by means of energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). It was found that the Mn 0.78Zn 0.22Fe 2O 4 nanoparticles had a diameter about 20 nm. Under magnetic field, the 46 # turbine oil containing 6 wt% Mn 0.78Zn 0.22Fe 2O 4 nanoparticles showed much better friction-reducing and anti-wear abilities compared with lubrication without magnetic field. The worn surface, lubricated by 6 wt% Mn 0.78Zn 0.22Fe 2O 4 magnetic fluid lubricated under the effect of magnetic field, is smooth and the plowing is almost disappeared. Moreover, it is found that 22 mT magnetic induction is the optimum magnetic induction. Form theory study we found that under the effect of magnetic field, the bearing capacity increasing with the increasing of magnetic induction. When the eccentricity is small, the side leakage is highly decreased.
