“…The passive film thickness of untested 316L was 1.87 nm, which is in agreement with the results obtained from other authors [41][42][43]. Thicker passive film thickness outside the wear track was observed for all stainless steel tested with WG with respect to the reference sample, however, in the case of PAO thicker passive film was only observed using C12 as additive.…”

Ionic liquids as boundary additives in water-based and PAO lubricants

Ionic liquids have been widely discussed as potential lubricants, however, their properties make them also very good potential candidates as lubricant additives (e.g., friction modifiers and anti-wear). In this work, the tribological study of two ionic liquids (tributylmethylphosphonium dimethylphosphate (PP), and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (BMP)) as lubricant additives has been performed on stainless steel (AISI 316L) exposed to polar (water-glycol) and non-polar (polyalphaolefin) based lubricants under boundary lubricating conditions. The performance of these ionic liquids as lubricant additives has been compared to a classical organic friction modifier (dodecanoic acid (C12)). The water-glycol lubricant formulated with the two ionic liquids showed friction values higher than the same base lubricant formulated with dodecanoic acid, however, opposite results were observed for polyalphaolefin (PAO). A detailed surface chemical analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed differences in the passive/tribofilm thickness and chemical composition of the stainless steel surface tested in all lubricants. In the case of the polar lubricant additivated with ionic liquids, the tribochemical reaction accompanied by a tribocorrosion process led to the formation of an unstable passive/tribofilm resulting in high friction and wear. However, in the absence of tribocorrosion process (polyalphaolefin base lubricant), the tribochemical reaction led to the formation of a stable passive/tribofilm resulting in low friction and wear. A detailed surface and subsurface investigation of the microstructure using scanning electron microscopy equipped with a focused ion beam (SEM-FIB) showed that high wear rates resulted in thicker recrystallization region under the wear track surface. Among all lubricant additives tested in this work, BMP in non-polar lubricant media showed the best tribological performance.

“…Observation of hydroxides resulted from the exposure of steel to moisture as given by 36 where M denotes Fe or Cr. The Fe(OH) 3 peaks are proposed to be not observed in the untreated steel due to Fe(OH) 3 was less stable than Cr(OH) 3 when the uncarburized steel exposed to air 37 . The peak observed at ~ 532.6 eV (O 1s) contributed by M(OH) 3 is therefore proposed to be of Cr(OH) 3 located at the outermost surface of untreated steel.…”

The effect of low oxygen-partial pressured carburizing on relaxation process for 316L stainless steel is reported. Phase, morphology, and amount of compound formation during initial stage of carburizing are investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show formation and development of surface multilayer with nano-grain-carbide (Cr7C3, Fe7C3, and/or Cr3C2) generation in the layer located below outermost protective layer. The relaxation process has been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Formation of nano-grain carbide(s) during carburizing causes deterioration effect on the electrochemical behavior of steel. However, the steel with large amount of carbide generation (carburized for 30 min) tends to have higher corrosion resistance (indicated by higher values of Rcl and Rct) than the smaller ones (10 and 20 min) due to the effect of phase, grain size, morphology, and amount of compound formation.

“…[8][9] At present, many analytical techniques including secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), and auger electron spectroscopy (AES) have been used for surface analysis and depth profile analysis. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Noë l et al 14 analyzed the depth profile of inorganic electrodes and organic layers in organic light-emitting diode stacks by TOF-SIMS. Oswald et al 15 used XPS to investigate the depth distribution of Ti/Al multilayers and Ti-Al alloy layers.…”

“…Oswald et al 15 used XPS to investigate the depth distribution of Ti/Al multilayers and Ti-Al alloy layers. Detriche et al 16 reported a fast approach with XPS depth profile analysis for gaining elemental distribution of the oxide layer on metal surfaces. Although these techniques are used in the depth analysis of layer materials, there are still the challenges of obtaining accurate concentration or distribution information of the elements in the depth direction without standard reference materials.…”

In this work, the depth profile analysis capability with direct current glow discharge mass spectrometry (dc-GD-MS) was evaluated by examining molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) films on Al and steel substrates. The optimized glow discharge conditions for obtaining an ideal flat crater and an efficient signal intensity were a discharge current of 1.0-1.5 mA and a discharge pressure of 4.7 mPa. The dc-GD-MS depth profile analysis provided depth resolutions of 0.55 μm for the MoS2/Al sample and 0.70 μm for the MoS2/Steel sample. The interface of 4.46 μm for MoS2/Al and 4.55 μm for MoS2/Steel determined by dc-GD-MS was close to the thicknesses of 4.85 μm and 5.45 μm, respectively, as measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). A high-carbon steel standard sample (NIST SRM 1264a) was used to validate the reliability and accuracy of the method. Relative errors of less than 12% were obtained compared with the certified concentration and the relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 20) of typical elements within 10%. The dc-GD-MS depth profile analysis provided an efficient and reliable approach for the depth analysis of the MoS2 film.
