Abstract

Purpose

This paper sets out to study tribological properties, anticorrosive performances and thermal stabilities of two novel S‐N type triazinyl‐containing polysulfides {Bis[2,4‐bis(diethylamino)‐s‐triazin‐6‐yl] polysulfide (BBET‐PS) and Bis[2,4‐bis(di‐n‐butylamino)‐s‐triazin‐6‐yl] polysulfide (BBBT‐PS)} as additives in biodegradable grease, and to estimate the tribochemical mechanism.

Design/methodology/approach

Extreme pressure (EP) and anti‐wear (AW) properties of two compounds at different addition concentration were evaluated using a four‐ball machine. Their wear scar was analyzed with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and a scanning electron microscope.

Findings

Two novel S‐N type triazinyl‐containing polysulfides possess excellent load‐carrying capacity, good AW and show good corrosion‐inhibiting performance. The thermal stability of BBB‐PS is better than that of BBE‐PS. According to the XPS results, the triazinyl‐containing polysulfides react with the metal to generate a surface protective film consisting of sulfate, FeS and absorbed compounds containing organic‐N.

Research limitations/implications

The antioxidant and biodegradability of the two novel compounds were not investigated.

Practical implications

Two effective EP and AW additives were synthesized, and maybe potentially industrial applied lubricating grease additives.

Originality/value

The achievement of this study is the synthesis of two triazinyl‐containing polysulfides, which can be effective additives to improve the tribological performance of biodegradable grease.

Abstract

Purpose

To study some tribochemical properties of tetrazole derivatives, n‐hexadecanyl (1H‐tetrazol‐1‐yl) acetate (HTA) and 1‐phenyl‐5‐(octylthio)‐tetrazole (PCT) as lubricating oil additives in hydrogenised oil, and estimate the action mechanism.Design/methodology/approach – The two tetrazole compounds were synthesized, and added them in hydrogenised oil with different concentrations. Their anti‐wear properties were evaluated with a four‐ball machine, the wear scar was analyzed with a X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).Findings – The novel compounds possess good anti‐wear, friction reduction properties and good load‐carrying capacity. According to the XPS results, the novel compounds were migrated onto the surface of the steel balls and adsorbed on the surface. The two additive compounds, themselves, and their decomposers contributed to the corresponding tribological performances. With S element contained in the compound PCT, the influence on the load‐carrying capacity of the base oil was enhanced. It may be due to the formation of S2− and SO42− compounds on the worn surface which could form a protective film.Research limitations/implications – Their antioxidant, anticorrosion, anti‐wear properties are not estimated.Practical implications – Two useful EP and AW lubricating oil additives were synthesized, and maybe it is the potential industrial applied lubricating oil additives.Originality/value – This paper provided a study way of some N‐containing heterocyclic compounds as lubricating oil additives.

Abstract

Purpose

In order to develop novel high EP S‐containing additives and to meet the need of formulating GL‐5 gear oil or other high EP lubricating oils, aims to investigate the tribological behaviors and mechanism of a di(iso‐butyl)polysulfide (DIBPS), which was synthesized from some cheap materials at low temperature and under normal atmospheric pressure, as an additive in some mineral base oils compared with the traditional sulfurized olefin (SO) additive.

Design/methodology/approach

The DIBPS additive was designed and synthesized, of which the main composition is the di(iso‐butyl)trisulfide. Its load‐carrying capacity, anti‐wear and friction reduction properties as additive in some mineral base oils, compared with the traditional SO additive, were investigated using a four‐ball machine and a Timken tester according to relative testing standards. The tribological mechanism was discussed according to the SEM and XPS analytical data.

Findings

The results indicate that the four‐ball PD value and the Timken OK value of the prepared DIBPS in VHVIS500 is clearly better than that of the traditional SO; the anti‐wear property of DIBPS is equivalent to the traditional SO and the friction reduction effect of DIBPS is better than that of the traditional SO. The SEM and XPS data show that the DIBPS additive experiences different tribochemical reaction during tribological process compared with the traditional SO. The S active element of DIBPS reacted with surface metal mainly to form FeSO4 and/or Fe2(SO4)3 inorganic film, but the S active element of the traditional SO reacted with the surface metal mainly to form FeS inorganic film. This may be the chief reason why the prepared DIBPS possesses better EP properties than the SO.

Research limitations/implications

The results show that the polysulfide additive (DIBPS) possesses better extreme pressure property than the traditional SO. However, more experimental study such as the synergic effect with other additives must be performed, from which it will be clearly shown whether the novel polysulfide can be applied in industrial oils.

Practical implications

These results may be useful for the researchers to formulate some high EP industrial oils.

Originality/value

This paper proves that the designed polysulfide additive, of which the main composition is the trisulfide, possesses better extreme pressure property than the traditional SO, and its tribological mechanicsm is also different with that of SO. It is noticed that the preparative method of this novel polysulfide additive has some superiorities, such as: low‐experimental temperature, low‐experimental pressure and cheap materials.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new vibration probe sensor for measurement of particle mass flow rate in gas–solid two phase flow.

Design/methodology/approach

A new vibration probe sensor based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric film is designed. The particle impact model according to Hertz contacting theory is presented. The average amplitude, standard deviation and spectral peak at the natural frequency of the probe (21.2 kHz) of the signals acquired through experiments are chosen as characteristic quantities for further analysis.

Findings

Through experimental study of relation between three characteristic quantities and the mass flow rate and air flow velocity, a good regularity is found in the average amplitude and the spectral peaks at natural frequency of the probe. According to the particle impact model, the structure of quantitative model is built and parameters of two models are calculated from experimental data. Additionally, tests are made to estimate mass flow rate. The average errors are 5.85 and 4.26 per cent, while the maximum errors are 10.81 and 8.65 per cent. The spectral peak at natural frequency of the probe is more applicable for mass flow rate measurement.

Practical implications

The sensor designed and the quantitative models established may be used in dilute phase pneumatic conveying lines of coal-fired power plants, cement manufacturing facilities and so on.

Originality/value

First, the new sensor is designed and the quantitative models are established. Second, the spectral peak at natural frequency of the probe is found that can be used for measurement of mass flow rate.
