In this study, polydopamine and silver-modified graphene oxide (Ag/PGO) were prepared using a one-step method, and the effects of Ag/PGO as a lubricating oil additive on the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and lubricating performance of lubricating oil were studied. The influence of additive lubricating oil on the temperature increase and vibration of a high-speed motorized spindle was studied through a motorized spindle experiment. The results showed that the addition of Ag/PGO nanocomposites could improve the thermophysical properties and lubricating properties of the lubricating oil. The Ag/PGO nanoparticles deposited on the friction surface formed a friction protective film, which prevented direct contact between the friction pairs and effectively reduced the heat generated through friction and micro-peak collision during bearing operation. The lubricating oil containing Ag/PGO had high thermal conductivity and a good heat dissipation effect in convection heat transfer in the bearing cavity. The deposition and repair of nanoparticles could improve the micro-morphology of the friction surface and reduce the high-frequency amplitude of the motorized spindle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
