Corrosion is a major challenge in various industries and can cause significant damage to metal structures. Organic corrosion inhibitors are compounds that are used to reduce or prevent corrosion by forming a protective film on metal surfaces. The pre...
Bearings are crucial components that decide whether or not a wind turbine can work smoothly and that have a significant impact on the transmission efficiency and stability of the entire wind turbine’s life. However, wind power equipment operate...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, exhibit exceptional chemical stability and resistance to environmental degradation thanks to their strong C-F bonds and nonpolar nature. However, their widespread use and pe...
Graphene is a single atomic plane of sp2-bound carbon that has attracted considerable interest in various technologies. On the basis of its unique physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, graphene is a potentially strong candidate as a lubrican...
This paper introduces an experimental approach to study the distribution of power losses in an oil jet-lubricated planetary gear set, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of these gearboxes. A thermal model is developed to estimate power losses...
Vegetable oils have been used as metalworking fluids (MWFs) for many years, particularly in small-scale metalworking operations and in industries where environmental regulations are strict. Before the development of modern MWFs, vegetable oils were o...
Reducing friction and wear by improving the tribological properties of liquid lubricants with additives is one of the most important research goals in tribology. Graphene is a typical two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, which has outstanding tribologi...
Lubricating oils play an important role in friction-reducing and anti-wear, as well as enhancing mechanical efficiency. To improve the oxidation stability and service life of lubricating oils, the composition and structure of antioxidants should be s...
Surface wear caused by contact between crane wire rope and a pulley seriously affects the mechanical properties of the wire rope. In this study, the tribological behavior of wire rope was investigated using a homemade rope–pulley sliding fricti...
Increasingly restricted availability and environmental impact of mineral oils have boosted the interest in sustainable lubrication. In this study, the thickening properties of sodium carboxymethyl celluloses (CMCs) were investigated in order to asses...
