Preliminary Applications of King’s ART Technology in Industry

Abstract

King’s ART Auto-Reconditioning Technology is based on the physic-chemistry model and theory originated by State Key Laboratory of Tribology, Tsinghua University and further developed by King’s ART Novel Materials R&D Co., LTD.. It is an advanced technology which takes advantage of energy release and materials chemistry existing in the worn damaged regions to in-situ auto-recondition worn parts by mechanochemical reaction, meanwhile form a protective layer with excellent tiibological properties on the tribosurfaces. This paper mainly discusses the feasibility of industrial application of the technology. The results show that it could improve drive property of automobile engine with fuel consumption reduced by 5% and the exhaust emission decreased by 23%; it can decrease the wear loss of air compressor, strengthen the gas lightness, lower the machinery noise and save energy consumption; it also has some positive effect on mechanical devices such as rolling bearings and gear boxes by effectively decreasing friction and wear loss.
