... To decrease the negative environmental impact of the cutting fluid, lubricants were improved either by introducing biodegradable fluids or by reducing the quantity of the biodegradable fluid used [2]. In spite of that reduction, the remaining biodegradable fluids can also be a highly subject to bacterial contamination, which is the most severe and difficult to correct type of contamination. ...
... The existence of molybdenum in a spectrochemical analysis for the MO (Table 3) suggests that the additive could be from molybdenum dithiophosphate (MoDTP) as this additive can reduce the friction in motor oil. 50 . In addition to this, the value of COF for MO (0.093) in this study is close to the COF of MoDTP additive in hydrocarbon base oil (COF ¼ 0.08). ...
... Measurements of electrophysical parameters were carried out using a constant temperature three-electrode cell and an alternating current bridge E8-2 as described in (Lashkhi et al., 1974). A 15cm 3 cell having an initial capacitance of 15.390 pF was used. ...
... This study examines the nature o[ these chemical reac-tions and their relationship to wear. A four-ball wear tester Presented as an American Society ot Lubrlcaflon Engineers paper at the ASLSASME Lubrlcation Conterence in Kansas City, ilissouri, October g-5, 1927 Voruvr 22,2,[135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145] is used to generate the reaction products between a superrefined paraffinic mineral oil and 52 100 steel ball bearings. ...
... The alignment of the chains in these FM layers makes compression difficult while the ease at which the bonds between these layers are broken makes shearing of the chains occur when surfaces move parallel to the layer. The layers are also easily reformed meaning that there is always a protective, sacrificial FM layer upon the surface of the metal which can provide lower friction and prevent wear [54,57]. A study by Castle and Bovington [58], where carboxylic acid based FMs with saturated, straight chain hydrocarbon are to be used to lubricate surfaces, it was found that the length of the hydrocarbon chain has a direct effect on the molecules friction reducing properties. ...
... Metal-free ashless lubricant additives have been synthesized and proposed as a promising replacement of ZDDP with better or comparable antifriction (AF), AW, AO, and EP properties in several studies [28,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Commonly recognized ashless chemistries as lubricant additive are phosphorous-and sulfur-based compounds, that is, phosphate esters [38], thiophosphates, and dithiophosphates [27,29,39,42], alkyl/aryl mono and/or di-hydrocarbyl phosphates, amine salts of aryl/alkyl-aryl or aliphatic di-hydrocarbyl thiophosphates [34], diether polysulfides [36], dithiocarbamic [33], amidothiophosphates [42], benzotriazole-thiadiazol [35], and most recently alkylthioperoxydiphosphates and alkylphosphorofluoridothioates [31,32]. ...
... Organotins derived from carboxylic acid, phosphoric group, N, S donating groups have been studied as corrosion inhibitors [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Organotins are known for their friction and wear reducing properties [23][24][25]. Organotin derivatives of alkylphenols have been successfully used as antiwear additives for lubricating oils [26]. Since organotins and dithiohydrazodicarbonamides both are well known for their biocidal behavior, friction and wear reducing properties and anticorrosive properties, synthesis of organotin complexes with dithiohydrazodicarbonamides was undertaken with intent to explore their applicability as corrosion inhibitors. ...
... A polymer with higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution usually possesses stronger thickening powers. 3 In addition to the viscosity thickening power, the shear stability (often revealed by using the shear stability index, SSI, determined by the Kurt Orbahn (KO) test of the formulated lubricants) is the other primary characteristic of a polymer-based VI improver. It reflects the polymer's ability to resist shear-induced macromolecular degradation under high-shear conditions ubiquitous in most mechanical systems. ...
... This treatment can be coupled with both distillation or solvent extraction for improving the deasphalting. In fact, WLO is considered a colloidal system comprising the base oil, the additives, and the impurities accumulated during service time (Lashkhi et al., 1992). The stability of these constituents is mainly due to electrostatic repulsive forces between the particles. ...
... In the simplest sense, it is clear that low temperatures have a thickening effect on the condition of oils. Viscosity is a property of a substance to resist external influences that cause its flow [1]. Consequently, at a low temperature mode, the oil flow and pump ability through the channels of the lubrication system slow down. ...
