Sliding Friction of R6M5 Steel on Grade 45 Steel Using a Litol-24 Lubricant Modified by MoS2 Particles

Russian Metallurgy (Metally) volume 2022, pages 424–429 (2022)Cite this article

Abstract

The influence of adding 10 wt % MoS2 particles to a Litol-24 lubricant on the sliding friction of R6M5 steel on grade 45 steel according to the roller–roller scheme is studied at a load of up to 800 N and a rotation speed of 1500 min–1. The determined general laws of sliding friction are shown not to change in comparison with the previously established ones. The dependences of the frictional force on the normal force (load) have two linear sections, in which the Amonton–Coulomb law is valid. In general, the generalized version of the Amonton–Coulomb law also holds true. The addition of MoS2 increases the lubricant viscosity and the bearing capacity of the lubricant layer. In the load range 510–725 N, the critical load increases by ≈1.6 times and the best antifriction characteristics are achieved.
