Abstract
The effect of molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) on the friction and wear properties between aluminum alloy and steel was investigated. Large adhesive wear of the aluminum alloy is caused by the transfer of aluminum to the steel when an oil without MoDTC is used. MoDTC can prevent the adhesive wear of aluminum alloy by generating a surface film in the higher sliding speed range. The surface film reduces specific wear of the aluminum alloy to less than approximately 10−9 mm2·N−1, but increases that of the steel to 10−9 mm2·N−1. The corrosive wear of the steel was apparently caused by sulfur originating from MoDTC. Presented as a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Paper at the STLE/ASME Tribology Conference in Orlando, Florida, October 11–13, 1999
