Ultralow friction of PVD TiN coating in the presence of glycerol as a green lubricant
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Recently, glycerol has raised great interest among researchers as an environmentally-friendly lubricant. Low friction, even super-lubricity, can be achieved when glycerol is used with diamond-like carbon coatings. Though TiN coatings are currently widely used in improving the tribological performance of forming tools, cutting tools, and machine elements, no literature exists on the tribological performance of a PVD TiN coating under glycerol lubrication. This paper investigates the combination of TiN coatings with glycerol. The results show that glycerol exhibits excellent lubrication performance, which is stronger in the steel/TiN than in the steel/steel tribopair. The action mechanism of glycerol in steel/TiN tribopair is also proposed.
