Abstract

Graphene is an effective solid lubricant, which can significantly minimize the friction-induced material and energy loss in mechanical systems. In this study, the solution processed method combined with a specially designed coating device was used for the preparation of graphene films on steel-bonded carbide (GT35) disk samples. And the influence of preparation process on film distribution and corresponding lubrication performance was studied by using atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a pin on disk triboapparatus. It can be observed that after film deposition, graphene films are randomly distributed over sample surfaces. Under the influence of device coating process, a relatively uniform distribution of graphene films can be obtained. The unfolded graphene films would have sufficient contacts with surfaces, which can improve the macroscale lubrication performance of graphene films. The experimental measurements indicated that the lubrication performance of graphene films have a close relationship with its distribution and physical state.
