Abstract
This paper explores the use of phosphazenes as alternative lubricants for thin film hard disks. Contact start/slop (CSS), stiction and drag tests were performed on five disks lubricated with a typical cyclic phosphazene lubricant, X-1p, with a thickness in the range of 0.3 nm to 0.7 nm. The coefficients of friction and stiction were found to increase initially, then level off and reach a steady-state value without a further increase after 2000 CSS cycles, ft is concluded that X-1p performs well on thin film disks with a lubricant thickness of about 0.5 nm. Presented as a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers paper at the ASME/STLE Tribology Conference in Lahaina, Hawaii, October 16–20, 1994
