The surface chemistry of chloroform as an extreme-pressure lubricant additive at high concentrations

چکیده

Carbon tetrachloride is an extremely good extreme-pressure (EP) lubricant additive at low concentrations (< 3 wt% chlorine) since it can react to form a high-melting-point Fe3C antiseizure layer. In contrast, small hydrogen-containing additive molecules (CH2C12, CHC13) decompose to form FeC12 which melts at ,,~940 K and limits the maximum seizure load to N 3500 N as measured in a pin and v-block apparatus. However, both thermodynamic calculations and results of a Mfssbauer analysis of an iron foil heated in CHCI3 at 830 K indicate that iron carbide can be formed from chloroform. In addition, it is also found in that case that a plot of seizure load versus concentration, after initially forming a plateau, once again increases with higher additive concentrations (> 4 wt% chlorine) in accord with the idea that a higher melting point carbide film can be formed. It has been shown previously that asymptotes in the plot of removal rate versus applied load correspond to melting of the interracial anti-seizure film. When using 9.0 wt% chlorine from chloroform as the additive, a drastic increase in removal rate is found at an interfacial temperature of-~ 940 K corresponding to the melting of FeC12 and an additional asymptote is evident at ,-~ 1500 K due to the melting of Fe3C in accord with the thermodynamic and M6ssbauer results.

Understanding the tribological chemistry of chlorine-, sulfur- and phosphorus-containing additives

It is demonstrated that the surface chemistry of simple-model extreme-pressure lubricant additives, measured in ultrahigh vacuum, corresponds to that measured at higher pressures, where film growth rates are monitored using a microbalance. This chemistry and reaction kinetics are used to explain the extreme-pressure lubrication behavior by successfully modeling the measured seizure load vs. add...

The surface and tribological chemistry of chlorine- and sulfur- containing lubricant additives

A model for the operation of chlorinated hydrocarbon extreme-pressure additives is outlined in which the chlorinated hydrocarbon thermally decomposes at the hot (~1000 K) interface forming a chloride + carbon film, which is simultaneously worn from the surface. Assuming that seizure occurs when the chloride film thickness decreases to zero reproduces the experimentally measured seizure load vs....

Surface Chemistry and Extreme-Pressure Lubricant Properties of Dimethyl Disulfide

The growth kinetics of a film formed by the thermal decomposition of dimethyl disulfide on an iron foil are measured using a microbalance where the growth kinetics are parabolic (film thickness X varies with time as X2 ∝ t) at high reaction temperatures and pressures, indicating that it is limited by diffusion through the film. The activation energy for this process is 54.5 ( 0.5 kcal/mol. The ...
