In the present work, the relationship curve of the coefficient of friction (COF) with varying loads of different morphology WS lubricating additives in the friction process at various sliding speeds was studied. On this basis, wear marks and elements on the wear surfaces after friction were analyzed, and then the anti-wear and mechanism effects of WS of different forms in the lubrication process were discussed. Meanwhile, the Stribeck curve was used to study the lubrication state of the lubricating oil in the friction process. It was revealed that the COF of lubricating oil containing lamellar WS decreased by 29.35% at optimum condition and the minimum COF was concentrated at around 100 N. The COF of lubricating oil containing spherical WS decreased by 30.24% and the minimum coefficient was concentrated at 120 N. The extreme pressure property of spherical WS was better than that of lamellar WS, and the wear resistance of spherical WS was more stable when the load was over 80 N. The different morphology of WS additives can play anti-wear and anti-friction roles within a wide range of sliding speeds.

Metal matrix composites are widely employed in aerospace and marine engineering due to their excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. However, their surfaces remain vulnerable to corrosion, icing, and mechanical wear, severely compromising long-term reliability in harsh environments. Inspired by natural superhydrophobic surfaces such as lotus leaves, functional interfaces with high water repellency and interfacial stability can be engineered through the synergistic design of hierarchical micro/nanostructures and low-surface-energy chemical modifications.

Understanding the mechanism of action of graphene oxide (GO)-based lubrication materials is of great significance to effectively suppress the surface damage accumulation of bearing steel during service. However, GO typically exhibits weak interfacial adsorption and poor dispersion stability, severely limiting its ability to form a dynamic tribofilm during friction. In this study, we synthesized an efficient lubricant, oleylamine-grafted chlorinated graphene (OA/Cl-GO), using GO as the carrier and introducing lipophilic terminal groups through chlorination and interfacial covalent modification.

This study explores the effect of dispersion of Fe-doped SnO rods and SnO rod-based additives in transformer oil for lubricant applications. A notable reduction in friction and wear is achieved at a low weight percentage ∼0.025 wt % of additives along with oleic acid and oleyl amine as dispersants.

Matrix acidizing is a widely employed stimulation technique that enhances well productivity in carbonate reservoirs by dissolving formation damage and creating conductive channels known as wormholes. Conventional hydrochloric acid (HCl) systems, while effective, suffer from limitations such as high corrosivity, excessive reactivity, and poor thermal stability. Emulsified acid systems (EAS) have emerged to address these drawbacks by introducing an oil phase that slows the acid-rock reaction and facilitates deeper penetration.

The general theory of oil pumping using gear pumps shows that as kinematic viscosity increases, so does the energy requirement to drive the pump shaft. However, modern oils used in machines and vehicles are characterized by a wide range of modifiers that alter their physical and chemical properties. This article presents a study on the energy demand for driving a gear pump while pumping commercial oils used in machines and vehicles (16 types), such as those for combustion engines in single-drive and hybrid vehicles, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, shock absorbers, chainsaw lubrication, and two-stroke engine fuel mixtures.
