The action and analysis of magnetic field on the lubricants and wear products in the process of wearing

The magnetic field is an important factor in the conditioning and controlli ng tribological property. This paper analyzes and describes the physical ef fects and chemical natures of magnetic field to affect the friction, wear a nd lubrication, and characterize the tribochemical effect of magnetic field on WRL lubricant by infrared(IR) spectrum method. At same time, the tribol ogical property of WRL lubricant was examined by using the reciprocating fr iction-wear tester of NG-x type in the condition of magnetic field. The res ults show that the present of magnetic field can decrease the friction coef ficient(f) and wear weight(W), even realize the zero-wear testing situation .
