Abstract

Traditional lubrication by oil sometimes does not work because of the high temperature, fast speed and excessive load of the aeroengine bearings. The Graphite-like Carbon coating is used to improve the insufficient lubrication in this paper. And the micro hardness, the friction coefficient and the wear rate tests are offered: with GLC, the hardness is increased twice at least, its friction coefficient is 25% and the wear rate is 1/100 when contrasted with that of the typical bearing's material. The tests and calculation results show:the wear cycles of the GLC coated W9Cr4V is more than 400 times of that of the uncoated W9Cr4V and even when the GLC coating is worn out, the friction coefficient of W9Cr4V is only 0.15 which can effectively lubricate for the bearing for a short period of time when the liquid lubrication does not work. So it is proved to be effective in improving the wear resistance and reliability of bearings.
