Additionally, new models have been developed to better understand boundary lubrication states, which are critical under severe operating conditions. These models take into account the effects of ...

This study investigates compatibilities of three oil-soluble ionic liquids (ILs, candidate AWs) with an FM, molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC), and a dispersant, polyisobutene succinimide (PIBSI) ...

Friction theories and wear mechanisms. Temperatures in sliding contacts. Hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, elastohydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Surface failure due to rubbing is a critical problem ...

It is widely believed that tribochemical reactions occur between the metal surface and the IL during the wear process to form a protective tribo-boundary film on the contact area that reduces friction ...
