Friction and Wear Performance of the New Ceramic Anti-Wear Agent Containing N-B-Mo under Various Loads

The friction and wear experiment employed M-2000 friction and wear tester which friction pair made up of Q235//GCr15 steel, and lubricating oil which contains 3% new N-B-Mo ceramic anti-wear agent was adopted as the medium. The effect of content of new ceramic anti-wear agent on friction and wear property was investigated by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM), et al, and the mechanism of ceramic anti-wear agent was also analyzed. The results showed that in the range of 50-300N load, the friction coefficient is basically related to the size of the load, and the greater the load, the greater the coefficient of friction, the size of the wear rate is not simply increased as the load increases. The wear rate was lowest when the load was 200N. Under this load, the new N-B-Mo ceramic anti-wear agent was generated BN phase which has self-lubricating property at worn surface, reduce the friction coefficient of Q235//GCr15 friction pair and the wear rate of Q235 steel, plays an anti-friction and anti-wear role.
