Abstract
This paper describes products of tribochemical reactions of Z-Dol 2500 and 1H,1H,2H,2H-tetra-fluorooctanol, produced on steel and aluminum surfaces. The fluorooctanol was used as a model compound to study the reactions of hydroxyl groups. Tribochemical reactions were initiated by friction in the steel/steel and steel/Al contacts, using an Optimol SRV (Schwingung Reibung Verschleiβ) reciprocating sliding tester. The products of these reactions, deposited in the wear scars on steel and Al discs, were studied using reflective FTIR spectrometry (microscopy and grazing angle) and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Under boundary lubrication conditions on metal surfaces, fluorinated compounds containing hydroxyl groups formed carboxylic and alkoxyl salts. FTIR spectra indicate that Fe and Al carboxylic salts occur mainly in bidentate configuration. Presented at the STLE Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada May 15-19, 2005 Review led by Tom Karis
