Abstract:This report described the work conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology under an interagency agreement (DE-AI01-92CE50354) signed in September 1992 between DOE and NIST for 5 years. The interagency agreement expires on September 30, 1997. The interagency agreement envisions continual funding from DOE to support the development of fuel efficient, low emission engine technologies in terms of lubrication, friction, and wear control encountered in the development of advanced transportation technologies. However, in 1994, the DOE office of transportation technologies was reorganized and the tribology program was dissolved. The work at NIST therefore continued at a low level without further funding from DOE. The work continued to support transportation technologies in the development of fuel efficient, low emission engine development. Under this program, significant progress has been made in advancing the state of the art of lubrication technology for advanced engine research and development. Some of the highlights are: 1. Developed an advanced high temperature liquid lubricant capable of sustaining high temperatures in a prototype heat engine 2. Developed a novel liquid lubricant which potentially could lower the emission of heavy duty diesel engines 3. Developed lubricant chemistries for ceramics used in the heat engines 4. Developed application maps for ceramic lubricant chemistry combinations for design purpose 5. Developed novel test methods to screen lubricant chemistries for automotive air-conditioning compressors lubricated by R- 134a (Freon substitute). Most of these finding have been reported to the DOE program office through Argonne National Laboratory who manages the overall program. A list of those reports and a copy of the report submitted to the Argonne National Laboratory is attached in appendix A. Additional reports have also been submitted separately to DOE program managers. These are attached in Appendix B.
