Observation of the Tribo-Film Formation Derived from ZnDTP by Using FT-IR

Abstract:

To understand the effects of tribo-film formation derived from ZnDTP (zinc dialkyl ditio phosphate) on friction behavior, friction tests were carried out with varying sliding time. The sliding surfaces were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). On the basis of the surface analytical results of the tribo-film, the absorption bands in the region of 1300-1000 cm^-1 assigned as polyphosphate appeared in all IR spectra after the sliding. The friction behavior of ZnDTP was related to the intensity change of the IR spectra peak at 1200 cm^-1.
