Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The project dealt with a new branch of solid lubricants (CNP) and their use in a suitable basematerial (MMC) to create and understand self-lubricating surfaces. The work covers the complete process development from the synthesis and processing, experimental analysis and theoretical modeling, discussion and understanding of involved mechanisms up to the production of a prototype. Out of three investigated CNP (ND, OLC and CNT), CNT are identified as the most suitable solid lubricant for self-lubricating surfaces. In this regard, their large aspect ratio, flexibility as well as degradation mechanism are the most important aspects to consider. Being stored in a surface, CNT are continuously pulled into the contact by elastic compression and restoration. Due to their degradation mechanism, their lubrication activity is insensitive to variations in humidity, surface roughness, loading conditions and contact mechanics. The lubrication mechanisms of CNT was understood to be based on degradation towards nanocrystalline graphitic structures. Thus, if continuously provided to the contact area, CNT are able to adapt to the given situation by effectively combining different solid lubricant working principles, namely: rolling, sliding and shearing. As a result, permanent self-lubricating surfaces are successfully produced, allowing for a maximum reduction in friction and wear by a factor of 4 and 115, respectively. Our results highlight the suitability of the proposed integrated solution as a promising approach for self-lubricating surfaces subjected to unidirectional sliding under various operational conditions.
