Conclusions
Boundary lubrication from the viewpoint of surface chemistry
1. Chemical analyses of boundary layers
TOF-SIMS is a powerful tool to analyze boundary films and
tribochemical reactions.
TOF-SIMS analyses revealed that very thin layer of PTFE was
removed at higher contact pressure and was recovered under the
sliding condition of low contact pressure.
It was found that thin layer of PFPE oil was decomposed catalytically
by Al2O3 and TiN as a slider material, but the decomposition was
deactivated by DLC and c-BN coating. Chemically inert coatings such
as DLC make a longer life of HDI.
Stable isotopes such as D(2H), 13C and 18O can be used as a tracer
to detect boundary film without the effect of organic contamination.
2. Nascent surfaces of metals as a active source of tribochemical
reactions are characterized by our method.
Even gold becomes to be active chemically and benzene decompsed
on nascent gold surface.
Sulfide is more active on nascent steel surface than phosphate.
EP additives should be selected depending on lubricating conditions;
Sulfides and phosphates are effective under severe and mild conditions,
respectively.
It was found that hydrocarbon oil was decomposed by the effect of
nascent surface and temperature rise at mechanical contact. Phosphate
is more effective to reduce the decomposition than sulfide.
