低温重载工况下自润滑材料摩擦磨损机理和轴承服役性能研究

The project focuses closely on the national strategic requirement “Design and construction of large cryogenic high reynolds number (Re) wind tunnel”, aiming at solving the key challenge of preserving low friction under extreme conditions, e.g. low temperature and its large variation (110-323K) in nitrogen gas and in ambient air and heavy load, etc., suffered by the key tribopairs in the wind tunnel such as the spherical plain bearings for driving and support of flexible steel plate in wind tunnel nozzle and the heavy load sliding support for the internal segment. The project plans to develop technologies of on-line monitoring of friction and wear of self-lubricating materials across the length scales, and on-line monitoring of friction-induced transfer film thickness and chemical compositions in microdomains on the outer surface of inner ring of the spherical plain bearing with only half-outer ring. This will help to unravel new laws and mechanisms involving the tribochemistry and the formation and evolution of the transfer film, and help to establish the structure-property relationship between microstructure and tribological performance of self-lubricating materials. To develop the preparation scheme of polymer-based self-lubricating material with the construction of "surface lubricating layer-composite fiber fabric-adhesive resin" with low friction and high strength, as well as to develop the preparation method of strong and tough diamond-like carbon composite coatings with multi-phase and heterogeneous structures, modulated by using synergistic high-energy ion beam deposition and ion implantation. To carry out the service performance test in cryogenic wind tunnel on-site, aiming at achieving stable friction coefficient lower than 0.1 in full working temperature range of spherical plain bearings, and to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the design and preparation of self-lubricating materials and upgrading the performance of key tribopairs in large cryogenic wind tunnel in our country.
