balance equations, we can obtain k1 (v0 t − x1 ) = F + m1 ẍ −F = k2 x2 + mL ẍ + c2 ẋ (21–4) or ẍ = − k1 k F(|ẋ − ẋ |) ẋ + v0 t − m1 m1 m1 ẍ = − c2 k F(|ẋ − ẋ |) ẋ − x − m2 m2 m2 (21–5) The above differential equations can easily be solved by the method of differential calculus We assume that the initial state of the system is as shown in Figure 21.8, where k and k are in the natural states, and m1 and m2 are stationary When the velocity is v0 and if the driving force on m1 is not large enough to overcome the static friction force between m1 and m2 , m1 has no relative motion to m2 Therefore, the two objects are in the “stick” stage If m1 starts to move relatively to m2 because the driving force on m1 begins to be larger than the frictional force, the load on the spring k begins to be reduced, that is, the system is in the “slip” stage At this stage, the driving force will gradually drop When the driving force on m1 drops to less than the dynamic frictional force, it will be in the second “stick” stage This again causes the driving force to increase until the second “slip” stage starts So this continues to alternate By the above simple qualitative analysis, it can be seen that when the relative velocity v is equal to zero, the motion is determined by the frictional force, but when the relative velocity v is not equal to zero, it is determined by the relationship of the frictional force and the velocity v, that is, F = f (v) 21.3.2 Friction-Induced Noise of Wheel-Rail A train often makes a screaming sound while it moves along the rails The friction-induced noise level is about 120 dB with the frequency of 4000–8000 Hz As a typical example, the noise spectrums of a train travelling along a railway track with a radius of curvature of 193 m are represented in Figure 21.9 Research on the forces and motion between the wheels and the train frame through a corner showed that for a railway gauge of l.435 m, if the radius of the railway is less than 500 m, there Figure 21.8 Frictional-mechanical system model [13] Ecological Tribology Figure 21.9 Noise spectrums of wheel-rail [14] will be a lateral sliding between wheel and rail For the train velocity of 15 m/s and a radius of 200–500 m, the lateral sliding velocity vt is in the range of 0.1–0.3 m/s The lateral slip and interfacial friction will bring about stick-slip of the wheel-rail system to cause the vibration Then, noise will be induced After analyzing the causes of noise in the frictional-mechanical system, another important task is to reduce it The noise can be thought as the “output loss” caused by the tribo system The following method describing a friction-induced noise system can be used to study the correlations between the parameters of noise Then, the parameters can be modified to reduce the noise sources According to the contents in Section 21.3.1, the noise induced by friction can be written as Z = f (X, S) where, Z is noise volume; X are the working parameters; S are the structural parameters X and S are vectors There are several sub-factors in each of them as follows 1) Working parameters X = {W , V , T}: W is the load (or vehicle weight), V is the velocity (train velocity, lateral sliding velocity or etc.) and T is temperature (depending on the current season) 2) Structural parameters S = {A, P, R}: A is the type elements including (1) wheel type, (2) track type and (3) environmental conditions P is the performance elements including the materials of wheel and rail, the geometrical designs of the wheel-rail and the geometries of the railway R is the relationship elements including all the tribo relationships of (1), (2) and (3) of A As an example, if we want to modify the sub-parameter A, it can be seen that (1) and (2) are mostly fixed by the standard of the train wheel-rail system Neither of them can be changed easily Therefore, the noise can only be limited by directly controlling (3) the environmental conditions, which are the noise sources on the interface during a friction process Experience has shown that spraying some phosphate solution on the rail, can significantly suppressed the noise From simulating a stick-slip process, it is known that the stick-slip effect depends on the velocity gradient Therefore, in order to clarify the possibility of eliminating 525 526 Principles of Tribology the noise caused by stick-slip, and the optimum conditions of the rail surface treatment, some research had carried on the stick-slip tests in the laboratory as follows [14] A plate and a ball of the actual wheel-rail materials was used in the simulation test under the working conditions similar to the actual ones, that is, pH = 50 × 107 N/m2 and v = 0.02–0.2 m/s The test results showed that noise is obviously influenced by surface treatment Through a surface treatment, although the static friction coefficient f s drops slightly, the dynamic friction coefficient f d can be increased significantly Therefore, their difference Δf = f s − f d drops If the difference is small enough, the stick-slip effect can be greatly reduced so that the friction-induced noise can be significantly controlled The typical results for the stick-slip effect before and after carrying out the surface treatment are shown in Figure 21.10 Through the systematic research, it has been found that phosphate solution can be prepared for the practical purpose of reducing friction-induced noise The solution should be sprayed on the rail in a timely way in order to effectively reduce the noise which is caused by stick-slip of the wheel-rail system 21.3.3 Friction-Induced Noise of Rolling Contact Bearing 21.3.3.1 Sources of Noise Rolling contact bearings are often the main noise sources in machines Friction and vibration are the main causes of the bearing noise, and they often affect each other Vibration will increase friction, and vice versa Therefore, both of them will amplify the bearing noise The main cause of noise noise in a sliding bearing is poor lubrication, which increases the friction between the shaft surface and the bearing surfaces In order to reduce the noise of a sliding bearing, a thick oil film should be maintained between the two frictional surfaces Because the noise level of a sliding bearing is much less than that of a rolling contact bearing, only the noise of rolling contact bearings is dealt with here [15] The poor lubrication of a rolling contact bearing is mainly caused by geometric errors and poor surface quality of the bearing parts Geometric errors may bring about radial runout and vibration Because the inner ring, the outer ring and the rolling bodies are now generally machined to ultra-high precision, the noise of a rolling contact bearing due to geometric errors has been significantly reduced However, the effect of the geometric error cannot be completely eliminated Figure 21.10 Influence of surface treatment on stick-slip [14] Ecological Tribology High-level noise may also be caused by resonant frequencies during operation Even though a rolling contact bearing has no surface imperfections, no geometric errors and a very low surface roughness, the vibration may still be induced due to inherent elastic deformation affecting the assembly clearances between the rolling elements and the raceways In the contact area, elastic deformation of the raceways and the rolling bodies is generated by the load The elastic deformation is maximum if there is only one rolling body at the bottom, as shown in Figure 21.11a, but elastic deformation is minimum if the distances between the two rolling bodies relative to the load vertex are equal, as shown in Figure 21.11b Therefore, this vibration frequency is equal to the number of rolling elements passing through a fixed point of the outer raceway per time Obviously, the noise of a rolling contact bearing is related to the friction of the parts of the bearing The surface damage caused by wear and tear is seriously harmful to the smooth motion so as to increase the vibration Any damage of the bearing can bring about significant vibration and noise When a rolling contact bearing is correctly installed and operating, its surface damage is mainly caused by plastic deformation and wear, particularly due to the contact fatigue 21.3.3.2 Influence Factors of Noise 1) Influence of bearing types: Rolling elements are the main components that cause friction-induced noise in a rolling contact bearing If the shapes of the rolling bodies are different, the relative motions between them and the inner rollway or the outer rollway are different This will result in different kinds of noise levels Comparison tests have been carried out for types 32220/P5 and 32218/P5 tapered roller bearings, types 6220 and 6218 deep-groove ball bearings and types 7220AC and 7218AC angular-contact ball bearings on the front and rear spindles of a C6150 lathe The experimental results are shown in Table 21.12 The noise levels of the ball bearings are nearly dBA lower than those of the tapered roller bearings Therefore, in order to reduce the noise of the rolling contact bearing, ball bearings should preferably be chosen if other requirements can been met 2) Influence of cage accuracy: The bearing cage is often made of low carbon steel plate When a rolling contact bearing is running, the friction between the rolling bodies and the cage is sliding friction with impacts, so that a high noise level will be created The experiments showed that reducing the gap between the cage and the rolling bodies can reduce about dBA of the bearing noise level In addition, the cages of high velocity and high precision bearings are in the form of a solid structure and are usually made of phenolic adhesive plaster, bronze or aluminum alloy These bearings have significantly lower noise 3) Influence of pre-tightening force: Setting the pre-tightening force can usually improve the rigidity of the support for the bearings Studies on machine noise sources have shown that Figure 21.11 Elastic deformation of rolling contact bearing [15] (a) (b) 527 528 Principles of Tribology Table 21.12 Comparisons of noise levels of

temperature will increase also However, if there is no pre-tightening force, that is, if a gap exists, the noise level will increase by 2dB Therefore, in order to control the noise of the bearing, the pre-tightening force should be controlled to a reasonable value An axial pre-tightening structure can ensure that the bearings experience a normal pre-tightening force [15] As shown in Figure 21.12, the springs on the circumference have been used to make the axial force uniform on the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing Because the bearing always runs under an adjustable pre-tightening force, noise can be kept to a very low level all the time 4) Influence of bearing accuracy: Generally speaking, the higher the accuracy of the bearing, the lower the noise Table 21.13 gives experimental data for a pair of roller contact bearings 32220 and 32218 with combinations of different accuracies in the inner ring, the outer ring and the rollers at a speed of 1250 rpm It can be seen that if the accuracy of the rollers is increased by one grade, the noise of the bearings will decrease 7–10 dBA Therefore, the roller precision is one of the main factors affecting bearing noise 21.4 Remanufacturing and Self-Repairing Remanufacturing is a method of reducing the material loss Furthermore, if certain special additives are put into lubricants, a worn surface can be repaired by itself during working; this is, referred to as self-repairing In the following, these two technologies are introduced briefly Ecological Tribology Table 21.13 Effects of different combinations of

through surface damage, such as wear, corrosion and high temperature oxidation Local damage of a surface often causes a part to fail or even the whole machine Therefore, improving surface properties is an effective way to prolong the service life of equipment, save resources and reduce environmental pollution The aim of surface engineering is to prepare a functional surface layer using various methods to greatly improve the properties of the surface The thickness of the layer is generally from just a few microns to a few millimeters – a small percentage of the structure size However, it enables the part to have high resistance to abrasion, corrosion and/or high temperature The average efficiency increase of surface engineering technology is to 20 times Surface engineering can directly and locally enforce, repair and protect important parts from rapid failure or recover the use of failed parts According to reports, tens of billions RMB have been saved in manufacturing industries in China through application of surface engineering since the 1980s Furthermore, there are growing problems of waste disposal and resource shortage due to rapid development For example, it was estimated that about 700 million of cars were abandoned in 2015 in China, and more than 200 million electronic products, such as computers, televisions, air conditioners and refrigerators, were abandoned in 2015 in China, about half the total waste electronic products for the whole world In order to alleviate the shortage of resources, reduce environment pollution due to waste products and utilize waste materials effectively, remanufacturing engineering became a hot topic at the end of the twentieth century Remanufacturing technology uses advanced processing methods to recover waste products so that it will regain its original technical performance, and be able to work again and thus prolong the service life of the part If a mechanical part has become worn or corroded, the most widely used repair methods are surface coating or heat-treating It is reported that the life of the overflowing parts, such as blades, of a turbine can increase 3–5 times after being repaired by the flame spray welding technology with oxygen acetylene turbine [16] Furthermore, by using the plasma spraying technology to repair a truck part, the wear-resistance of its surface can be improved about 1.4–8.3 times, more than that of new products, while the repair cost is only 10–12% of its original price There are many different remanufacturing technologies, just a few of which are introduced here due to space limitations 21.4.1.1 Laser Remanufacturing Technology The lLaser remanufacturing is a new repair technology, which combines laser cladding, material science and various other techniques, to make a broken or worn part regain its original 529 530 Principles of Tribology Figure 21.13 Main process flow of laser remanufacturing dimensions and performance, so as to reach or even exceed the original product specification The core of the laser remanufacturing technology is laser cladding, which refers to putting a cladding material on the surface of the matrix and melting it with high energy density laser to form a highly strengthened thin layer so as to repair the worn part and improve its surface properties The processing flow of laser remanufacturing is shown in Figure 21.13 21.4.1.2 Electric Brush Plating Technology The anode of the power source is connected to the brush plating pen, and the cathode of the power source is connected to the part The plating pen usually uses high purity fine graphite as the anode material and the graphite block is wrapped in a layer of cotton and anti-wear polyester cotton During plating, the pen is dipped in the plating bath and moved on the surface of the work-piece at a certain relative speed, and under an appropriate pressure The plating metal ions diffuse into the surface of the work-piece under the action of the electric field, and they deposit on the surface to form a coating When the coating has grown thick enough, the worn part has been repaired 21.4.1.3 Nano Brush Plating Technology The nano brush plating technology was developed from traditional electric brush plating It adds nano particles with certain specific properties into the brush plating solution so as to obtain a composite brush plating solution During plating, the nano particles, under the action of the electric field or the clamping force of the complex ions, deposit metal ions onto the surface to form a coating Because the nano particles disperse into the composite coating, they can improve the performance of the surface 21.4.1.4 Supersonic Spray Coating Technology The supersonic spray coating technology use an electric arc formed on the end of a wire to melt the wire and, through a Laval nozzle, to accelerate the melted wire into a fine supersonic airflow to spray the surface of the work-piece to form a coating It has advantage such as high strength, low porosity and low surface roughness In addition, before determining whether a worn part can be repaired or not, many other tasks should be carried out at the very beginning The steps of the remanufacturing processing Ecological Tribology Figure 21.14 Remanufacturing routine routine are given in Figure 21.14, where the steps belonging to remanufacturing or traditional manufacturing have been divided 21.4.2 Self-Repairing The self-repairing technology is a method for adding special additives into a lubricant and, through the action of friction, to repair a worn part Therefore, the additive is the key to realizing self-repair Usually, nano copper powder is used as the additive to repair the worn surfaces of mechanical parts under the condition of friction The diameter of the nano copper particles is usually 20–80 nm and 0.5% of the base oil Before it is used, ultrasonic vibration should be applied for about 60 to disperse the powder uniformly in the lubricant For example, the wear of the cylinder and the piston of an automobile engine will increase with increased mileage When the wear gap reaches a certain value, the performance of the engine will be seriously reduced If adding some appropriate repair additives into the engine lubricating oil, the worn parts can be self-repaired as the engine works In their studies, Jiang et al used a copper type additive to repair the surface [17] The recovered height H has been estimated by calculation, as shown in Figure 21.15a Their experimental results showed that the frictional force decreased with running time increasing, as shown in Figure 21.15b These results meant that the sealing performance of the cylinder had been improved Therefore, the service life of the cylinder was prolonged The mechanisms of a self-repair additive can be classified into two kinds as follows 21.4.2.1 Spreading Film Under the action of affinity between the additive molecules and the metal surface, the additive molecules show polarity under the action of friction They spread to the microcosmic surface of the friction pair to form a spreading film, which is of anti-friction and wear-resistance 21.4.2.2 Eutectic Film Under the condition of boundary lubrication, the local high temperature caused by friction will prompt the additive particles to combine with worn particles to form some small eutectic spheres They may form a protective film with a lubrication function on the contact surface Therefore, self-repair is achieved This film will fill in the micro valleys of the worn surface so as to improve its sealing performance, reduce the frictional force and prolong the life of the 531 532 Principles of Tribology Figure 21.15 Experiment and calculation results of self-repairing [17] parts The nanoparticles of some metals or metal alloys can achieve the mechanism of this theory Under conditions of a certain temperature and pressure, the surface experiences intensive friction and plastic deformation during a friction process The nanoparticles adsorbed on the friction surface will interact with the plastically deformed surface If the temperature of the surface is high enough, the intensity of nanoparticles will decrease to form a eutectic film with the microscopic particles of the metal surface It fills in the micro valleys of the surface to form a repair film It should be pointed out that self-repairing is a dynamic process because it must occur under the friction condition With increasing friction and temperature, the film may increase but the normal wear also exists The repair film is also worn at the same time, even during the self-repairing process, so the repaired thickness will be limited, and it is impossible to compensate completely for the worn volume while the wear process and the self-repairing process are balanced References Luo Jianbin, Shi Bing, Qian Linmao et al., (1997) Recent advances and mechanism discus- sion of
