Abstract

In this work, we examine pure water and water with nanoparticles to investigate water lubrication characteristics and the effect of nanoparticles as lubricant additives for different substrates. We test carbon-based coatings and metals such as high-speed steel and stainless steel in pure deionized (DI) water and DI water with nanoparticles. We investigate water lubrication characteristics and the effect of nanoparticles based on the friction coefficient and wear rate for different substrates. The investigation reveals that nanoparticles enhance the friction and wear properties of high-speed steel and stainless steel. The friction coefficient and wear rate of both high-speed steel and stainless steel decreases in DI water with nanoparticles compared with the results in pure DI water. The presence of nanoparticles in water show good lubricating effect at the contact area for both high-speed steel and stainless steel. However, for carbon-based coatings, nanoparticles do not improve friction and wear properties. Rather, the friction coefficient and wear rate increases with an increase in the concentration of nanoparticles in case of water lubrication. Because carbon-based coatings already have good tribological properties in a water environment, nanoparticles in water do not contribute toward improving the friction and wear properties of carbon-based coatings.
