New insights on the decomposition mechanism of Molybdenum DialkyldiThioCarbamate (MoDTC): a Raman spectroscopic study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Molybdenum DialkyldiThioCarbamate (MoDTC) is a friction modifier that has been used in automotive engines for many years. However, its exact decomposition mechanism within tribocontacts is not fully understood.

Enhanced Growth of ZDDP-Based Tribofilms on Laser-Interference Patterned Cylinder Roller Bearings

open access: yesLubricants, 2017
Laser surface texturing has been successfully applied in the past to various machine elements in order to improve their tribological performance. In this study, direct laser interference patterning was used to produce periodic cross-like surface patterns

FAP- Anion Ionic Liquids Used in the Lubrication of a Steel–Steel Contact [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study compares the tribological behavior of two ionic liquids ([BMP][FAP] and [(NEMM)MOE][FAP]) used as oil additive for the lubrication of a steel–steel contact. Friction and wear experiments were performed using a HFRR test machine.

Mechanisms of ZDDP—An Update

open access: yesTribology Letters
Abstract This paper describes how research over the last 20 years has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms of action of ZDDP, especially with respect to tribofilm formation. We now know that ZDDP tribofilm formation is promoted by applied shear stress and this explains many of the features of these films.

Oil-soluble ionic liquids as antiwear and extreme pressure additives in poly-α-olefin for steel/steel contacts

open access: yesFriction, 2017
To enhance the lubricating and extreme pressure (EP) performance of base oils, two types of oil-soluble ionic liquids (ILs) with similar anion albeit dissimilar cations were synthesized. The physical properties of the prepared ILs were measured.

Analysis of the efficiency of wind turbine gearboxes using the temperature variable [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The aim of this paper is to evaluate how lubricant selection affects gearbox efficiency and overall energy production by analysing real data from wind farms, monitored and controlled by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA system).

Wear and friction of TiAlN/VN coatings against Al2O3 in air at room and elevated temperatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
TiAlN/VN multilayer coatings exhibit excellent dry sliding wear resistance and low friction coefficient, reported to be associated with the formation of self-lubricating V2O5.

Microstructural and Chemical Characterization of the Tribolayer Formation in Highly Loaded Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings

open access: yesLubricants, 2016
Zinc dithiophosphates (ZDDP) have been widely applied in automobile industry for over 70 years as a lubricant additive for wear protection. Tribolayers have been described as blue- and brown-colored layers on surfaces observed by microscopical ...

Tribological Behavior of Anodized Aluminum Oxide (AAO) Under the Addition of PAO6 Lubrication with Nano-Alumina

open access: yesLubricants
Anodizing can generate porous wear-resistant layers, which can act as reservoirs for gradually releasing lubricants. Studies on the formation of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) tribofilms in non-ferrous metals are relatively rare. Furthermore, adding

Design of novel experimental techniques to investigate the formation of nanoparticle-based tribofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Nano-engineered lubricant additives such as organically-active nanoparticles of molybdenum disulphide (Hybrid-milled MoS2) are becoming increasingly popular in the fight against harsh friction and wear that occurs during boundary-layer lubrication.
