Abstract
AbstractThe influence of heating on the properties of lubricating layers formed on steel by inactive and chemically active lubricant components has been studied by electrical probe methods. Model experiments combining X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and measurements of friction and electrical characteristics in static and dynamic point contact have shown the approach to be promising in separate studies of the properties of the physically adsorbed layer (A‐layer) and chemisorbed layer (D‐layer) of deposits.It has been confirmed that D‐layers can be formed on metal surfaces at moderate temperatures (T ∼ 200°C) by both active additives and inactive components of mineral oil. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate additives provide higher load‐bearing capacity of the A‐layer compared to pure mineral oil and can form D‐layers on steel at relatively low temperatures (of about 100°C). Lubricating layers with different physicomechanical and frictional properties can be formed depending on the chemical origin of the lubricating medium and the temperature regime.
