Surface potential effects on friction and abrasion of sliding contacts lubricated by aqueous solutions
Surface potential effects on friction and abrasion of sliding contacts lubricated by aqueous solutions
This study has investigated the relationship between applied interfacial electrical potentials and friction
and abrasion for steel/steel contacts in alkaline aqueous-based solutions. The potential at a steel-aqueous
lubricated surface is important since it determines a number of important surface properties which
influence the overall friction and resistance to abrasion. The experimental approach used a pin-on-disc
rig incorporating potentiostatic control of the disc between ?1.0 and +1.0V overpotential.
Tests employed a load of 50N at a sliding speed of 0.03ms?1. EN 24 grade steel, equivalent to AISI
4340, was used as the material for the pin and disc. Tests were conducted in electrolyte that contained
electroactive species, namely octanoate ions, which could be “switched on” to the surface. Coefficient
of friction measurements were carried out throughout testing and later linked to potential or current
density behaviour to assess the mechanical and electrochemical interactions and its effect on wear and
friction. The effects of lubricity of the adsorbed layers are discussed and used to explain the performance.

Abstract
This study has investigated the relationship between applied interfacial electrical potentials and friction
and abrasion for steel/steel contacts in alkaline aqueous-based solutions. The potential at a steel-aqueous
lubricated surface is important since it determines a number of important surface properties which
influence the overall friction and resistance to abrasion. The experimental approach used a pin-on-disc
rig incorporating potentiostatic control of the disc between ?1.0 and +1.0V overpotential.
Tests employed a load of 50N at a sliding speed of 0.03ms?1. EN 24 grade steel, equivalent to AISI
4340, was used as the material for the pin and disc. Tests were conducted in electrolyte that contained
electroactive species, namely octanoate ions, which could be “switched on” to the surface. Coefficient
of friction measurements were carried out throughout testing and later linked to potential or current
density behaviour to assess the mechanical and electrochemical interactions and its effect on wear and
friction. The effects of lubricity of the adsorbed layers are discussed and used to explain the performance.
