摘要

Structural ceramics are considered as potential candidate materials for use in hybrid bearings in rocket turbopumps, operated under high stress in cryogenic environment. The friction and wear-related surface failure is considered as one of the critical factors in selecting the materials for cryo-turbopumps of Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME). To obtain fundamental understanding of the tribological properties of ceramics in cryogenic environment, a very first set of sliding wear tests were carried out on self-mated A1_2O_3, a model brittle ceramic material, in liquid nitrogen (LN2) under varying load (2-10 N) and high rotational speed of 2550 rpm, using a newly designed cryogenic tribometer. The present research attempts to answer some important questions: (i) What would be the influence of LN2 on frictional and fracture behavior at sliding contacts? (ii) How does the material removal process occur in LN2 environment? Our experimental results reveal that self-mated alumina exhibits low steady-state coefficient of friction -0.13-0.18 and suffers from high wear rate (10~(-5) mm~3/Nm) under the selected testing conditions. The novelty of the present work also lies in presenting some interesting results, for the first time, concerning the deformation and fracture of alumina at cryogenic temperature under high speed sliding conditions. Detailed scanning electronic microscope observation of the worn surfaces indicates that severe damage of both ball and flat occurs in cryogenic environment by transgranular and intergranular fracture. The observed wear behavior is explained in terms of thermal heat dissipation and brittle fracture of alumina in LN2.

(ii)在LN2环境中如何进行材料去除过程?我们的实验结果表明,自交配氧化铝在选定的测试条件下具有较低的稳态摩擦系数-0.13-0.18,并具有较高的磨损率(10〜(-5)mm〜3 / Nm)。本工作的新颖性还在于,首次提出了一些有趣的结果,涉及在高速滑动条件下在低温下氧化铝的变形和断裂。对磨损表面进行的详细扫描电子显微镜观察表明,在低温环境下,经晶和晶间断裂会严重破坏钢球和扁钢。观察到的磨损行为是根据LN2中氧化铝的散热和脆性断裂来解释的。
