Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of tribological chemistry synthesis and lubrication technology, and particularly relates to a long-acting lubrication method for in-situ forming transition metal sulfide on surface. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tribological chemistry is an interdisciplinary subject of chemical synthesis and tribology. In the process of collision and friction shear, in addition to the flash temperature caused by the contact of surface micro-convex and concave, the fresh substrate surface exposed to stress causes lattice distortion and has greatly improved chemical activity. At the same time, due to the existence of various mechanical stresses including pressure and shear force, the high pressure generated by local high mechanical stress can also directly act on the reactant molecules to cause the change of chemical potential energy surface, and the introduction of mechanical energy reduces the activation energy, so that the chemical reaction no longer follows the reaction mechanism based on thermodynamics, and the reactant molecules only need to overcome a smaller chemical reaction barrier to form a local high-energy state and then transform into a product, ultimately showing a faster chemical reaction rate and special reaction selectivity. The reaction products that cannot be obtained based on thermal chemical process under the same temperature conditions can be prepared by tribological chemical reaction.

[0003] Transition metal sulfide represented by molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide is a widely used high-performance solid lubricant. Due to its poor dispersibility in lubricating fluid, it is mainly used in the form of solid lubricating coating. At present, the main means for preparing solid lubricating coating are physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and bonding technology. These technical means depend on expensive and precise synthesis equipment, and the whole preparation process is time-consuming and energy-consuming, and the generation of sulfur-containing waste is also inevitable. Moreover, the hardness of the transition metal sulfide solid lubricating coating itself is small, and it is lost with friction and wear during use, resulting in a significant deterioration and failure of performance. Therefore, the transition metal sulfide solid lubricating coating has always had the problems of limited service life and difficulty in repairing after loss. If the low friction state is to be maintained, the entire moving part has to be frequently disassembled and replaced, which brings the problems of low use efficiency, time-consuming and laborious maintenance process and high cost. In summary, according to the interface design theory of in-situ generation, it is of great significance to develop new lubrication methods and technologies. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a long-acting lubrication method for in-situ forming transition metal sulfide on surface. The present application uses a sulfur-containing eutectic solvent with tribological chemical activity as a lubricating fluid, and in-situ forms transition metal sulfide with excellent lubrication performance on the surface of a substrate material containing a transition metal element through a tribological chemical reaction, without the need for external supplementation, thereby meeting the requirements of continuous lubrication of the friction interface.

[0017] Preferably, the load of the friction is 1-1000 N, and the sliding speed is 0.05-30 cm / s.

[0018] The application provides a long-acting lubrication method for forming transition metal sulfide in situ on a surface, comprising the following steps: mixing an active sulfur-containing hydrogen bond donor with a hydrogen bond acceptor to obtain a sulfur-containing deep eutectic solvent; forming a sliding friction pair by combining a base material with a counterpart, adding the sulfur-containing deep eutectic solvent to a contact area of the sliding friction pair to reach a submerged state, and performing friction, wherein the base material contains a transition metal element.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The application forms transition metal sulfide with excellent lubricating performance in-situ on the surface of a substrate material containing transition metal elements by tribological chemical reaction using a sulfur-containing eutectic solvent with tribological chemical activity as a lubricating fluid, without external supplement, to meet the requirement of continuous lubrication of the friction interface, compared with the conventional application form of lubricating coating, the in-situ generation system of transition metal sulfide provided by the application can adapt to complex and changeable working conditions, solve the problems of irreversible damage caused by friction loss and lubrication failure in a short period, the in-situ formed transition metal sulfide can continuously repair and supplement in the friction interface area, has excellent tribological performance, and realizes continuous and long-acting lubrication of the friction interface.

[0021] Further, since the eutectic solvent has a certain viscosity, it is a fluid with a certain lubricating capacity, and the application takes advantage of the adjustable composition and wide selection range of components to realize in-situ generation of molybdenum disulfide or tungsten disulfide on the surface of a substrate material containing transition metal molybdenum or tungsten elements, which has important practical application value in energy saving and emission reduction and prolonging the lubrication life of mechanical equipment.

Further Raman spectroscopy tests were performed on the wear tracks of Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 after friction. The test results are as follows... Figure 10 As shown, by Figure 10 It can be seen that at 407cm -1 and 378cm -1 The presence of molybdenum disulfide characteristic peaks indicates that during the friction process, the betaine / thiourea eutectic solvent undergoes a tribochemical reaction with the molybdenum trioxide substrate, generating molybdenum disulfide in situ, thus exhibiting good tribological properties. Figure 11The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) scan of the wear track on a molybdenum trioxide substrate under lubrication with a betaine / thiourea eutectic solvent, as shown in Example 3, reveals obvious molybdenum and sulfur enrichment signals in the wear track region, while oxygen levels decrease, indicating that molybdenum trioxide has transformed into a dense layer of molybdenum disulfide.

Further Raman spectroscopy tests were performed on the interfaces of Comparative Example 4 and Example 5 after friction. The test results are as follows... Figure 17 As shown, by Figure 17 It can be seen that at 424cm -1 and 361cm -1 The presence of a characteristic peak of tungsten disulfide indicates that a tribochemical reaction occurs between the eutectic solvent and the tungsten substrate during the friction process, resulting in the in-situ formation of tungsten disulfide, which exhibits excellent tribological properties.
