Abstract
AbstractThe friction coefficient and wear rate of pretreated graphite with liquid nitrogen were obtained by using a ball-on-disk tester, and the wear of GCr15–graphite seal pairs with the low-temperature time-dependent pretreatment was discussed by comparing the wear morphology. The results show that liquid nitrogen pretreatment can affect the hardness and interlayer spacing of graphite. The range of the friction coefficients of pretreated graphite changes from 0.17 to 0.22. With the increase of liquid nitrogen pretreatment time, the wear mechanism of graphite would change from dominated three-body wear to adhesion wear. The experimental results of the mechanical seal with liquid nitrogen pretreatment show that the wear rate of stator is less than 0.00165 mm3·N−1·m−1, and the graphite shows a good low-temperature compatibility.
