Abstract

The development of green lubrication requires nano-lubricants to possess more environmentally friendly fabrication modes and materials with superior tribological properties. This study investigates the tribological properties of nano-biochar in PAO6 base oil and in combination with different additives. The effect of adsorption on friction reduction and anti-wear performance is demonstrated by replacing the friction sub-materials in the four-ball friction test. Based on the comparison of wear region characterization, the incorporation of nano-biochar improves the friction reduction performance of detergent and dispersant base oils with a reduction in coefficient of friction (COF) by 16.7% and 19.0%, respectively, and produces a synergistic effect on the anti-wear performance. When nano-biochar is compounded with anti-wear agents and friction reducer, there is a synergistic effect on friction reduction performance, and COF decreases by 9.4% and 4.5% compared with anti-wear agents and friction reducer base oils, respectively. A method to analyze the friction reduction and anti-wear mechanism of nano-additives in complex lubrication system is proposed, which reveals in depth the interaction law and synergistic lubrication mechanism between NBC and additives in the friction process.
