Abstract

In the present work, the effect of applying negative electric (DC) current on the friction and wear of carbon steel in presence of calcium-based grease dispersed by polymeric materials such as polyethylene (PE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is discussed. The experiments were carried out on cross pin wear tester under external negative DC electric current, -1.5, -3.0, -4.5 and -6.0 volts.
 
Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that, the effect of polymeric particles dispersed in grease depends on the ability of polymeric particles to adhere into the contact surfaces. Friction coefficient with applied external negative current increase with increasing polymer content at the polymer have negative polarity. PMMA shows the significant effect on reduction friction coefficient and wear at negative current. It can be recommended that selection of polymeric materials based on the polarity and location in tribo-electric series, for dispersing greases.
