Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials made of a single or a few layers of atoms. They have been an active research subject in recent years because of their unique physical and chemical properties. In particular, 2D materials such as graphene, hexagonal BN, and MoS ₂ exhibit some of the lowest friction coefficients and wear rates, making them attractive for enhancing the efficiency, durability, and environmental compatibility of future mechanical systems. This review will focus on recent advances in the tribology of 2D materials. Starting from general physical characteristics, the essential friction and wear behavior of 2D materials together with the associated mechanisms are reviewed for both interlayer and surface sliding. Influences of the atomic structures of the slip interfaces and environmental factors are discussed, with special attention given to various strategies for achieving friction modulation and superlubricity. Finally, the emerging engineering applications of 2D materials, as well as future prospects, are summarized.

Approaches for Achieving Superlubricity in Two-Dimensional Materials

Journal Article Berman, Diana ; Erdemir, Ali ; Sumant, Anirudha V. - ACS Nano

Controlling friction and reducing wear of moving mechanical systems is important in many applications, from nanoscale electromechanical systems to large-scale car engines and wind turbines. Accordingly, multiple efforts are dedicated to design materials and surfaces for efficient friction and wear manipulation. Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, and other 2D materials opened an era for conformal, atomically thin solid lubricants. However, the process of effectively incorporating 2D films requires a fundamental understanding of the atomistic origins of friction. In this review, we outline basic mechanisms for frictional energy dissipation during sliding ofmore »« less

Graphene - MoS ₂ ensembles to reduce friction and wear in DLC-Steel contacts

Journal Article Mutyala, Kalyan C. ; Wu, Yimin A. ; Erdemir, Ali ; ... - Carbon

Recent demonstration of two dimensional (2D) solid lubricant materials to minimize friction to unmeasurable levels (superlubricity) and reduce wear at macroscale propelled further research investigations in the direction of exploring their potential in industrially relevant material combinations such as steel and diamond-like-carbon (DLC) in sliding contact. In this study, we have used a combination of 2D materials i. e. Graphene and MoS ₂ as a solid lubricant to reduce friction and wear in steel-hydrogenated DLC contacts even at high contact pressures and sliding speed. Sliding friction tests conducted under dry nitrogen conditions shows a reduction of friction and wear bymore »« less

A WEAR MODEL FOR DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST VALVES

Technical Report Blau, Peter Julian

The work summarized here comprises the concluding effort of a multi-year project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Vehicle Technologies. It supports the development of a better understanding of advanced diesel engine designs in which enhanced power density, energy efficiency, and emissions control place increasing demands upon the durability of engine materials. Many kinds of metallic alloys are used in engines depending on the operating stresses, temperatures, and chemical environments. Exhaust valves, for example, are subjected to high temperatures and repetitive surface contacts that place demands on durability and frictional characteristics of the materials. Valves must continuemore »« less
