Abstract
By polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films on the surface of steel disc and using water-based ionic liquids as lubricants, the solid-liquid synergistic effect of PTFE films and water-based ionic liquids was systematically investigated. The results showed that PTFE films exhibited excellent tribological performance and maintained good insulation capabilities under electrical conditions in the sliding electrical contact interface. When using water-based lactate Ionic liquids as lubricants, the PTFE film achieved a COF of less than 0.01 under a load of 2 N, realizing ultra-low friction. The analysis of the lubrication mechanism revealed that two types of protective films were formed on the PTFE film and steel friction pair surfaces. These protective films effectively prevented direct contact between the friction pairs, significantly enhancing tribological performance.
