Friction and Wear Performances of n-Na2B4O7/Ion Nitrocarburized Duplex Layer at Different Frequences

The paper studied the friction and wear performances of n-Na2B4O7/ion nitrocarburized duplex layer at different frequences. It is found that at frequence 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 30 Hz, respectively, the friction factor and volume loss of the duplex layer is 64%, 60%, 50% and 97%, 91%, 95% less than that of the intermediate frequency quenched surface, respectively, which indicates that the n-Na2B4O7/ion nitrocarburized duplex layer has more excellent friction reduction and wear resistance performances than the intermediate frequency quenched surface under CD15W-40 oil lubricating at different frequences. This because that the chemical reaction films including oxide, BN and so on formed on the friction surface play the solid lubrication function, and the n-Na2B4O7 particles on the friction surface play the "Micron nanobearing" function.
