Effects of graphite fluoride nanoparticles on the tribological properties of lithium composite grease
摘要
The effects of graphite fluoride (FGi) nanoparticles on the tribological properties of lithium composite grease were investigated with a four-ball tester. When the mass fraction of FGi was 0.2 wt%, it had the best tribological performance, and the friction coefficient and the wear-spot diameter were reduced by 12.9 % and 13.3 %, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to observe the steel-ball wear spot. These results showed that FGi nanoparticles filled the surface of the wear spot and generated FeF3 film during the friction process.
