Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of engineering materials, in particular to a low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of industrial technology, the service life of transmission components is continuously extended, and higher requirements are put forward for the mechanical and tribological properties of mechanical wear-resistant parts. Design and development of polymer coatings with excellent self-lubricating properties and reliable wear resistance have gradually become a research hotspot in various countries.

[0003] Phenolic resin (PF) is a high molecular material connected by benzene ring and methylene group and dibenzyl ether bond, which has excellent heat resistance. PF-based coating is often used to protect metal parts due to its adhesion to metal matrix. However, phenolic resin has high brittleness, poor toughness and poor wear resistance, which reduces its wear life and limits the application of lubricating coating in harsh working conditions. At present, transition metals are often introduced as lubricating oil additives to induce polyolefin oil dehydrogenation reaction, promote tribological chemical and tribological physical reaction, and thus promote the formation of friction film and improve the tribological properties, but the effect of improving wear rate is not obvious.

[0004] Therefore, in order to realize boundary lubrication in harsh working conditions and reduce wear rate, the coating material needs to meet the requirements of low friction coefficient and high wear resistance at the same time. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating with high wear resistance.

[0006] Another technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a preparation method of the low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating according to the present application is characterized in that the coating is made of the following components with mass fraction: 72% to 96.5% of phenolic resin, 1% to 10% of solid lubricant, 1% to 10% of functional nano filler, 1% to 5% of hard nano particle, and 0.5% to 3% of additive.

[0008] The phenolic resin is a thermosetting liquid phenolic resin.

[0009] The solid lubricant is molybdenum disulfide powder with particle size of 0.5 to 1.5 um.

[0010] The functional nano filler is sub-micron nickel powder and its derivatives with particle size of 0.5 to 1.5 um.

[0011] The hard nano particle is titanium dioxide with particle size of 200 to 300 nm.

[0012] The auxiliary agent is composed of 0.5-1 parts by mass of wetting dispersant and 0.5-1 parts of leveling agent.

[0013] The preparation method of the low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating as described above is characterized in that: firstly, the components are weighed according to the proportions; then the functional nano-filler, hard nano-particle, solid lubricant and auxiliary agent are simultaneously added into the phenolic resin, and a modified phenolic composite material is prepared through mechanical stirring and three-roll grinding; the modified phenolic composite material is added into the mixed organic solvent at a mass fraction of 25-75%, and after stirring and mixing for 5-30 min, it is filtered to obtain the product.

[0014] The mechanical stirring condition refers to using a negative pressure high-speed stirrer to continuously stir at a speed of 1500-2000 revolutions per minute for 5-10 min at 25℃.

[0015] The three-roll grinding condition refers to using a three-roll grinder to grind twice, with the first grinding to a material fineness of 15um-30um and the second grinding to a material fineness of 5um-10um.

[0016] The mixed organic solvent refers to a mixed solution obtained by uniformly mixing methanol, anhydrous ethanol or n-butanol with toluene, ethylbenzene or NMP at a volume ratio of 1:1-5:1.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Through the formula optimization of the functional nano-filler, hard nano-particle titanium dioxide and solid lubricant molybdenum disulfide, the catalytic decomposition of the functional nano-filler, the ball bearing effect of titanium dioxide and the easy-shearing lubricating characteristics of molybdenum disulfide are ingeniously utilized to synergistically promote the frictional physical and chemical effects of the phenolic resin and the filler on the friction interface, so as to generate a double-layer friction film with a carbon-based layer on the top and an organic-inorganic hybrid layer on the bottom on the surface of the mating metal, the friction film has high load-carrying capacity and self-lubricating characteristics, direct scraping of the friction pair is avoided, the friction coefficient of the coating is reduced, the wear rate of the coating is significantly reduced, and the service life is improved.

[0019] 2. The experiment proves that the phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating of the present application exhibits low friction coefficient and wear rate under harsh oil lubrication conditions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] A low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating is prepared from the following components by mass fraction (g): 72%-96.5% phenolic resin, 1%-10% solid lubricant, 1%-10% functional nano-filler, 1%-5% hard nano-particle and 0.5%-3% auxiliary agent.

[0028] Spray the obtained coating on the surface of substrate (such as aluminum plate), then solidify at 150℃ for 1h, prepare modified phenolic composite coating with thickness of 25-40um and surface roughness of 0.10-0.20um.

The modified phenolic composite is added into a volume fraction of 2:1 methanol / toluene mixed solvent, stirred and mixed for 10 min, then filtered to obtain a low-friction phenolic adhesive type solid self-lubricating coating.

[0031] The obtained coating is sprayed onto the surface of a substrate, then cured at 150°C for 1h to prepare a modified phenolic composite coating with a thickness of 25-40um and a surface roughness of 0.10-0.20um, then its tribological properties are investigated.

[0040] Comparative Example 3

[0041] Example 4 5g of titanium dioxide, 5g of molybdenum disulfide, 88.5g of liquid phenolic resin and 1.5g of additives (1g of wetting dispersant and 0.5g of leveling agent) were selected, and the method of Example 1 was repeated to prepare a modified phenolic composite coating, and then the tribological properties thereof were investigated.

[0042] Comparative Example 4

[0043] Example 4 5g of titanium dioxide, 5g of molybdenum disulfide, 88.5g of liquid phenolic resin and 1.5g of additives (1g of wetting dispersant and 0.5g of leveling agent) were selected, and the method of Example 1 was repeated to prepare a modified phenolic composite coating, and then the tribological properties thereof were investigated.

[0044] The above Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to a friction test. A high-speed ring-block tester was used for the test. The metal with the coating was mechanically processed into a 50x10x4mm 3 The counter part was a GCr15 bearing steel. The counter part was polished with sandpaper to obtain an average surface roughness Ra=0.25.

[0045] The test conditions were as follows: test load 100N, sliding speed 0.2m / s, duration 1h, and the pair was immersed in a cavity filled with polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil. After the friction test, the width of the wear scar was measured using an optical microscope, and the wear rate was calculated using the following formula.

[0046] The formula for calculating the wear rate is as follows:

[0047]

[0048] Wherein, L' is the width of the sample (mm), R is the diameter of the counter steel ring (mm), W is the width of the wear scar (mm), F is the normal applied force (N), and L is the sliding distance (m).

[0049] The average friction coefficient and wear rate of the materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples were determined and calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0050] Table 1. Average friction coefficient and wear rate of the materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples

[0051] coefficient of friction Wear rate (10 -6 mm 3 / Nm)]]> example 1 0.0108 1.476 example 2 0.0161 2.552 example 3 0.0136 1.891 comparative example 1 0.0982 3.991 comparative example 2 0.0361 8.812 comparative example 3 0.0214 3.640 comparative example 4 0.0307 3.417

[0052] As can be seen from Table 1, the high-toughness phenolic-based composite coating obtained by the present application (Examples 1-3) has significantly reduced friction and wear properties compared to conventional wear-resistant modified composite materials (Comparative Examples 1-4), and the wear rate is greatly reduced compared to the latter.

[0053] Therefore, by reasonable formulation design, clever use of the catalytic decomposition of nickel powder, the ball bearing effect of titanium dioxide and the easy shear lubrication characteristics of molybdenum disulfide, the formation and generation of the double-layer organic-inorganic hybrid friction film with high load capacity and self-lubricating properties are synergistically promoted in the friction interface, direct scraping of the friction pair is avoided, the friction coefficient of the coating is reduced, the wear rate of the coating is significantly reduced, and the service life is improved.
