Abstract

ABSTRACTThe friction and wear properties of rapeseed oils with different concentrations and crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids were studied by an Optimol SRV oscillating friction and wear tester. Crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids have better solubility than conventional ionic liquids in rapeseed oils. The tribological test results showed that the crown‐type phosphate ionic liquids as lubricating additives in rapeseed oil exhibited better tribological performance than the base oil for steel/steel friction pair under various loads. It is noted that the friction pair showed the least friction coefficient and wear volume when the concentration of ionic liquids was 1 wt.%. The better tribological properties of friction pair should be attributed to the effective boundary films formed in the worn surface, on various tribochemical products, organometallic products and iron oxides.
