Boundary lubrication: Influence of the size and structure of inorganic fullerene-like MoS2 nanoparticles on friction and wear reduction
Abstract
The use of Inorganic Fullerene-like (IF) nanoparticles in lubricants has proved extremely effective to reduce friction and wear under severe boundary lubrication conditions, It has furthermore been suggested that the synthesis of smaller nanoparticles containing many structural defects would benefit friction and wear reduction, as they would penetrate and exfoliate more easily in the contact, leading to the quick formation of homogeneous tribofilms. In this study, four different types of IF-MoS2 were synthesized so as to be able to differentiate the influence of both the size and the morphology of the nanoparticles on their tribological behavior. Pure-sliding, reciprocating tribological testing of these four types of nanoparticles revealed their excellent friction-reducing properties in severe boundary lubrication, with splash lubrication taking place for a high number of cycles. High wear reduction was also obtained and confirmed using optical profilometry. Although the nanoparticle structure was found to have an influence on their effectiveness in time, all the nanoparticles tested - regardless of size or crystallinity - were found to achieve the same performances as long as proper oil recirculation took place, ensuring a continuous feeding of the contact in nanoparticles. The formation of MoS2 tribofilms on the wear surfaces was confirmed using XPS analyses and observed on FIB cross sections, and their nature was discussed in the light of the associated tribological results. As the size and morphology of the IF-MoS2 did not affect their performance in the range studied, their friction reducing properties were compared to those of bulk h-MoS2 tested in the same conditions. The benefits of using spherical nanoparticles such as IF-MoS2 was clearly shown. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
