Abstract

A ball-on-disk type friction test rig was used to examine SUJ2/S45C rubbing pairs in boundary oil-lubricated condition. We investigated comprehensively the influences on traction characteristics of applied voltages, surface roughness and additive. Externally applied voltage was found having an important effect for traction characteristics both for nonpolar, inactive lubricating oil H60 and that added with stearic alcohol. In contrast with the case of H60, at every specific electric state, the value of traction coefficient of sliding point contact lubricated by stearic alcohol/H60 was stable, thus showed a well electrically controllable property. The possibility and the mechanism of traction control by applying external voltages are outlined.
