Study of the Conditions for the Formation of an Adsorption Lubrication Mode of Heavily Loaded Friction Couples with Modeling in a Laboratory Setup

Abstract

Abstract—The mechanism of contact interaction of a heavily loaded friction pair in the presence of a lubricant at the contact is investigated. The results of tribological studies aimed at studying the influence of volumetric parameters of a lubricant at the time of friction and wear are presented. The adhesive ability of the lubricant was studied. It was concluded that the formation of a stable lubricant film is more influenced by the volume of lubricant supplied, which makes it possible to control the type of lubrication in contact and the amount of wear of samples under study. An explanation is proposed for the negative effect of the action of a lubricant supplied in large quantities.
