Purpose To study the effect of oleic acid surface modi ed RGO/MoS 2 composite lubricating additives on the friction and wear properties of 10 # White Oil (10 # WO).Method The in uence of different concentrations of reduction graphene oxide/molybdenum disul de (RGO-MoS 2 ) and oleic acid surface modi ed reduction graphene oxide/molybdenum disul de (OA-RGO-MoS 2 ) on the lubricating properties in 10 # WO was investigated by using a four-ball long-term friction and wear tester. The microscopic morphology, lattice structure, composition and element valence of the prepared material were characterized by scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, element analyzer and other instruments. The diameter, structure, morphology, composition and element valence state of the wear scar were obtained by multifunctional universal tool microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Result In the RGO-MoS 2 white oil system, when 0.4 wt% RGO-MoS 2 was added, the anti-friction effect was the best, and the average friction coe cient (AFC) reduced by 21.8%. When 0.2 wt% RGO-MoS 2 was added, the anti-wear effect was the optimal, and the average wear scar diameter (AWSD) decreased by 12.4%. In the OA-RGO-MoS 2 white oil system, when 0.2 wt% OA-RGO-MoS 2 was added, the anti-friction and anti-wear effects were the best, and the AFC reduced by 33.3%, and AWSD reduced by 14.1%.
ConclusionCompared with RGO-MoS 2 , OA-RGO-MoS 2 has a higher degree of graphitization, larger interlayer spacing, lower degree of layered accumulation, higher MoS 2 load, and weaker thermal stability.Both lubricating additives have good anti-friction and anti-wear effects at low concentrations, and the anti-friction and anti-wear effects are more prominent after being modi ed by oleic acid. Analysis of friction mechanism shows that a lubricating protective lm containing iron, oxygen, molybdenum, carbon, and sulfur is formed through adsorption or tribochemical reaction during the friction process, which improves the lubrication state and plays a role in reducing friction and anti-wear.
