INTRODUCTION
It is a GREEK word TRIBOS means rubbing processes. Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Tribology tries to describe everything that happens when things rub together.

PRACTICAL OBJECTIVES OF TRIBOLOGY

 What is friction?

FRICTION

Its a FORCE. Occurs whenever two objects are IN CONTACT with each other. Its the resistance to movement. It SLOWS objects down.

F RICTION Lets use THE SAME FORCE to move the box on:
higher friction wooden floor

lower friction ice

In which case friction is higher? Which one will slide further? WHY?

LUBRICATION
Why do we need it?
lower the friction prevent wear

wear

friction

remove heat and contamination

WEAR

What is wear?

Its the removal of material from a solid surface by the action of another surface.

WEAR MECHANISMS
Adhesive
Low contact pressures Augmented asperities

Abrasive
High contact pressures Wear tracks

TYPES OF MOTION
There are two types of motion between two moving parts.
Sliding motion e.g :- Piston in IC engine Rolling motion e.g :- Bearings, wheels of automobiles

TRIBOLOGY IN PISTON RINGS AND CYLINDER LINER

Cylinder liner is fixed one and piston will slide up and down inside on it. Friction exists between these parts , it results in wear. It can be reduced by applying lubricant.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TRIBOLOGY

Soybean oil as future lubricant for IC engines. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Tribology concerns in MEMS devices Diamond Coating Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) Self Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) Cantilever Beam Array Technique

SOYBEAN OIL AS FUTURE LUBRICANT FOR IC ENGINES

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from soybean seeds. It is easily available at low price. PROPERTIES OF SOYBEAN OIL :> It has a high viscosity index up to 223. > Has comparatively high flash point 610F. > Has good fire point about 650F. > It has high pour point, it can be reduced by winterizing the soybean oil.

MERITS OF SOYBEAN OIL

Soybean oil is biodegradable, in general it is less toxic. It is a renewable oil, so it reduces dependency of foreign petroleum products.

Ease of processing.

CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION

CVD is used to grow a thin layer of advanced materials on the surface of a substrate.
Application: Integrated circuits, electronic devices and sensors. Catalysts Micromachines, fine powder and ceramic powder protective coatings.

CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION

Thin film is formed from gas phase components.

CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION

Two types of CVD: LPCVD (Low Pressure CVD ) :- Good uniformity, Used for poly-Si, oxide, nitride. PECVD (Plasma Enhanced CVD ) :- Low temperature process and high deposition rate. Used for oxide, nitride, etc.

CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION

Pressure sensor Resistance-heated furnace Quartz tube Trap To exhaust Si Wafers

Pump Source gases

Gas control system

LPCVD Systems

PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION

PVD is a fundamentally a vaporization coating technique, involving transfer of material on an atomic level. It is an alternative process to electroplating.

The process is similar to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) except for the raw materials.
i.e. the material that is to be deposited starts in solid form, whereas in CVD the precursors are introduced to the reaction chamber in gaseous state.

APPLICATIONS OF PVD
PVD coatings are used to improve Hardness, Wear Resistance, Oxidation Resistance.
Thus, such coatings used in variety of applications such as : Aerospace Automotive Surgical/medical Dies and moulds for all manner of material processing Cutting tools Fire arms

TRIBOLOGY CONCERNS IN MEMS DEVICES

Friction and Wear are the biggest issues in blocking advances of MEMS technology. Once SAMS and Diamond Coatings are more fully developed, MEMS technology will be able to more completely realize its potential.

DIAMOND COATINGS
Diamond has a variety of useful properties compared to Silicon Low wear, low coefficient of friction, thermally stable, isotropic hardness Diamond cannot be simply made into smaller and smaller flakes, then deposited on MEMS devices Diamond (or diamond-like) film must be grown on surface.

UNCD
ULTRANANOCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND

A better method for producing diamond-like films. Grain size is 2-5nm. Unlike conventional diamond film CVD, C60 is introduced into the reaction along with CH4.
C60 collides with itself, creating C2 (carbon dimers) These C2 molecules enter the diamond lattice. An abundance of C2 is the goal of the UNCD creation process.

SELF ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS (SAMs)

Two Types Silane deposits on silicon Thiol deposits on gold Deposition Formations Densely Packed Amorphous Structure Functional group determines: applications hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity Used as: binders for subsequent molecules lubricants Common hydrophobic SAMS: OTS (long chain hydrocarbon) FDTS (long chain fluorocarbon) Deposition O O O Si Si Si Si O O O O Si Si Si Si O O O O

OH OH OH OH Si Si Si Si O O O O

CANTILEVER BEAM ARRAY TECHNIQUE

Cantilever

beams are fabricated of different lengths Cantilevers are put into contact with surface Longer beams adhere to surface Longest beam that does not stick signifies adhesion force SAM coated beams adhere after longer lengths than oxide surface

Beam Structures

ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF TRIBOLOGY

The LUBRICANT REPORT estimated an amount exceeding 500 million pounds can be saved in the civilian sector of UK by research in tribology. The estimated 11 % total savings in annual US energy consumption is equivalent to some 16 billion US dollars by an expenditure in research and development o f an estimated twenty-four million dollars. Analysis of the failure of boiler tubes indicate that about one-third of all occurrences were due to erosion. In UK, the application of tribological principles can effect national energy savings. These are estimated at 468 to 700 million pounds per annum.

IMPACT OF TRIBOLOGY
Since the publication of the Lubrication Report there has been an increasing awareness throughout industry of the subject of tribology. In the UK the National Centre for Tribology and Industrial Units of Tribology have been set up to provide advice t o industry on the utilisation of existing knowledge. Tribology is now recognized universally and President Carter of U.S.A. declared it to be a generic technology underlying many industrial sections and the prospectus for an Industrial Tribology Institute at Rensselaer Technology Center has been presented.
