Abstract
Since 1940s the principal source of an antiwear additive in crankcase applications has been due to a family of additives known as zinc dialkydithiophosphate (ZDDP). In this study, we have applied a novel technique, the mini traction machine with spacer layer image mapping (MTM SLIM), to study film formation characteristics of monoblend oils containing only basestock and ZDDP and also fully forrmulated oils containing a boron antiwear additive. The purpose of this study was initially to understand the build up of ZDDP film and then to establish whether boron compounds alone could provide significant antiwear films under mixed rolling and sliding contact.
