THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACE FREE ENERGY ON TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF OXIDE LAYER S FORMED ON ALUMINIUM ALLOY EN AW-5251
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 280, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents the influence of the parameters of the formation of oxide layers on the surface free energy and the tribological properties of these layers. The layers were formed electrochemically on aluminium alloy EN AW-5251, with variable values of electrolyte temperature and current density. A three-component electrolyte was used to produce oxide layers. The surface free energy was determined by the droplet deposition method by measuring the wetting angles, while the van Oss-Chaunhury-Good method was used for the calculations. Tribological tests were performed on a T-17 tribological tester under conditions of technically dry friction for reciprocating motion. T7W composite was used as a specimen in tribological tests.<br/><br/>
