Effect from Triboconditioning

Controlled Running-inPeaks removed (Rpk reduced)Nano-composite TRIBO-layer to reduce friction and wear

Original surface

Triboconditionedsurface

Triboconditioning improves surface finish and deposits a low-friction tribolayer in one

process step

Stribeck effect

Lowered boundary frictiondue to easily shearednano-composite coating

Surface layer prevents asperity-asperity contactsand the coating improves oil affinity,hence the shift to the left of the curve

Research focus Wonaco2

How is the topography changed? Before and after?How fine surfaces can be manufactured?Can manufacturing steps be replaced?

How do the process parameters effect the surface (chemistry and topography)?

How can the chemistry in the tribolayer be controlled?What does the film look like? Contents? Hardness? Morphology?

How good are the surfaces in different tribo systems?

Triboconditioning can be used to reduce frictional losses in heavy duty diesel enginesGood results in 10+ projects so far (Volvo, Scania, Mahle, Federal Mogul, Gnutti, Ford, Atlas Copco Secoroc, Tetra Pak, Hägglunds Drives, Bosch, BodyCote, ...)Wonaco2-projektet gave us a great opportunity to do advanced research in the area of Triboconditioning

We will now continue our work to get the triboconditioning method in production!
