Influence of the Processes Occurring in the Movable Interfaces of the Parts of Transport Machines Under the Action of the Components of the Geomodifier on the Efficiency of Tribotechnologies of Running-in and Recovery

Abstract

It is shown that the effectiveness of the implementation of tribotechnologies for running-in and restoration of systems and assemblies of transport machines depends on the preparation of the working environment in which the running-in of tribocouplings of parts takes place. When using a geomodifier to add to engine and transmission oil, it is important to refine the particles of its components and obtain special properties of their surfaces. The properties of the main components of the KGMT-1 geomodifier: SiO2, MgO, Al2O3, Fe2O3 are considered. Their activation during grinding and feeding into the friction zone is substantiated. The change in the size of the particles of the components of the geomodifier on the duration of the test under various operating conditions and within the limits of the strength intervals was investigated. The course of various physical processes according to nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the realization of states and processes of self-organization are considered. It was found that, depending on the degree of fragmentation, the particles of the components exhibit different activity, and therefore, different conditions for the formation of protective coatings on the working surfaces of parts and tribomechanical and tribophysical effects on particles are realized. It is shown that the latter manifests itself during the formation of defects, specific surface area, and duration of mechanical activation. It was revealed that for the materials of the KGMT-1 geomodifier components with strongly homeopolar bonds, such as SiO2, SiC, and the aluminosilicate mineral kaolinite, an amorphization process is observed. The influence of the α-Si-k-Si phase transformation in the materials of the KGMT-1 additive on the efficiency of the implementation of tribotechnologies has been determined. It is shown how physical processes in a composite oil cause tribochemical reactions and formation of coatings on the working surfaces of interfaces of parts of systems and aggregates of transport machines.

Creation of theoretical bases of tribotechnologies of running-in and restoration as means of effective increase of operational wear resistance of motor transport and mobile agricultural machinery

“…According to the results of studies [15,[17][18][19][20] related to the introduction of tribotechnologies of runningin and recovery, the best effect can be achieved with an average degree (up to 50%) of wear and tear of engines and transmissions of motor vehicles and mobile agricultural machinery. In practice, engines whose oils are treated with a tribocomposition of additives before running-in, or in the process of running-in have 3 times more service life and no breakdowns, in contrast to untreated motor oil [1,[21][22][23].…”
