Abstract

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a typical layered structure material with enormous potential in the field of friction and lubrication. Fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets (F-BNNSs) were prepared by constant temperature magnetic stirring and ball mill-assisted fluorination using NH₄F as fluorine sourced, while h-BN as raw material. Tribological behavior of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (h-BNNSs) and F-BNNSs as water-based lubricant additives were evaluated under Ti6-Al-4V(TC4)/GCr15 contact conditions. The results showed that when as water based liblicant additives, the F-BNNSs prepared with the mass ratio of h-BN to NH₄F increased from 1:2 to 1:4, the resulted average coefficients of friction (COFs) varied from 0.3135 to 0.1435 to 0.2177. When the mass ratio of h-BN and NH₄F was 1:3, the COFs and wear rate of F-BNNSs₁₂ prepared were 55% and 75% lower than that of h-BNNSs, respectively. Based on the analysis of wear scars, it were found that the excellent friction reduction and anti-wear performance of F-BNNSs₁₂ can be attributed to three aspects: The weakening polar interactions between the nanosheet layers may facilitate the relative slidding; F-BNNSs₁₂ incommensurate nanorod-nanosheet structure may cause rolling friction and good lubrication performance; F-BNNSs₁₂ deposited on the surface of the friction pair favour forminga discontinuous lubricating film, to alleviate the direct contact for the friction pair.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials hexagonal boron nitride fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets water-based lubrication additives tribological properties
