Abstract
Experimental techniques have been developed to measure the friction, antiwear film-forming and wear properties of lubricants in rolling–sliding contact. Friction measurements show that zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) and also some other phosphorus-based additives increase friction in mixed lubrication. Film thickness measurements show that this increase in friction correlates with the thickness of antiwear film. They also reveal some of the drivers of antiwear film formation and removal. A novel wear tester is described which enables the mild wear resulting from ZDDP-containing oils to be monitored. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
