The final target of this study is to discover the concert effect between ZnDTP and ashless FMs (polar compounds) that improve friction reducing performance together with keeping the good antiwear performance of ZnDTP. Evaluation of tribological performance and ZnDTP tribofilm formation were performed with a ball-on-disk type rolling-sliding tribometer. The tribofilm generated on the disk was analyzed by FT-IR analysis, Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA). It was found that amino compounds showed a blocking effect, in which the ZnDTP tribofilm formation was prevented and the friction coefficient increased, whereas carboxyl compounds showed a concert effect, in which the friction coefficient was reduced with maintaining ZnDTP tribofilm formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
