Revealing the interface nature of ZDDP tribofilm by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atom probe tomography [PDF]
Purpose To decrease wear and friction, zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) has been used in engine oil for several decades, but the mechanism of the tribofilm formation is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to characterize the chemical details of

Self-healing WS2 tribofilms: An in-situ appraisal of mechanisms [PDF]
Self-healing tribocoatings are being developed for aerospace applications to improve the lifetime and reduce the surface maintenance of components in motion. Here the tribo-induced self-healing behaviour of a WS2/a-C tribocoating has been evaluated for the first time by in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the mechanisms of damage and

Influence of roughness on ZDDP tribofilm formation in boundary lubricated fretting [PDF]
Influence of initial surface topography on tribofilm formation in ZDDP lubricated contact was analysed. A small displacement fretting tests with sinusoidal motion were carried out in classical sphere/plane configuration.

Scuffing failure analysis based on a multiphysics coupling model and experimental verification
General reductions in lubricant viscosities and increasing loads in machine components highlight the role of tribofilms in providing surface protection against scuffing. However, the relationship between the scuffing process and the growth and removal of

Tribofilms Forming in Oil-Lubricated Contacts [PDF]
The subject of the present paper is the characterization of third bodies of run-in systems. By means of continuous friction and wear measurement, lubricated steel-steel and steel-aluminum contacts were evaluated. Microstructure, chemical composition and response of the materials to shear were analyzed by XPS/AES and focused ion beam technique.
