TEMPERATURE STABILITY OF LUBRICATION LAYERS DURING FRICTION OF ALLOYED ALUMINUM ON STEEL,

Abstract

The effect exerted by various alloying elements added to AV000 aluminum on the thermal stability of the outer layer formed by D-1 lubricating oil containing 0.1 percent stearic acid was studied. The oil was spread on the aluminum surface during the frictional motion of a ShKh-9 steel ball on a circular aluminum bearing race. The chemical composition and some of the mechanical properties of the experimental specimens are summarized. All the experiments were conducted within the temperature interval of 20-360C, with the temperature changed in steps of 10-20C and the duration of each temperature step approximately 1 min. The addition of alloying elements increased the thermal longevity of the outer lubricating layer, the magnitude of the effect being proportional to the concentration of the added alloying element.
