  • chemical and mechanistic interpretation of thermal films formed by Dithiophosphates using xanes
    Tribology International, 2017
    Co-Authors: Vinay Sharma, Pranesh B. Aswath
    Abstract:

    Thermal films from zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP), an ashless shortchain dithiophosphate (DDP-1) and a longchain ashless dithiophosphate (DDP-2) were generated on steel substrates. XANES data was used to calculate phosphates chain lengths, P/S ratios and sulfate/sufide ratios at different time intervals and mechanistic models were proposed. The results indicate that presence of zinc metal cation in ZDDP allows thermal films to grow for extened period of time with the formation of ZnSO4, ZnS and polyphosphates of Zn. For DDP-1, the lower flash point results in quicker saturation of growth. DDP-2 exhibits a continous growth rate for extended period of time because of its thermal stability. DDP-1 and DDP-2 thermal films are composed of phosphates, sulfates and sulfides of iron.

  • Properties of tribofilms formed with ashless dithiophosphate and zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate under extreme pressure conditions
    Wear, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ramoun Mourhatch, Pranesh B. Aswath
    Abstract:

    Tribological and nanoscale properties of tribofilms from ashless dialkyl Dithiophosphates (DDPs) were compared with zinc dialkyl Dithiophosphates (ZDDPs) in this study. The tribosurfaces generated from these chemistries were examined using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The wear debris harvested from the wear tests was examined in a transmission electron microscope in bright field mode with selected area diffraction to examine the crystallinity and nature of the debris particles. Thickness of the tribofilms was measured using the focused ion beam cross-section microscopy indicating that the tribofilms formed by ashless Dithiophosphates are significantly thicker than those formed by ZDDP. Nano-mechanical properties of the tribofilms including hardness and reduced modulus, scratch and nano-wear performance of the ashless dithiophosphate were compared to the secondary ZDDP. The overall results indicate that the wear performance of the ashless DDP are comparable or better than when ZDDP is used. The analytical techniques indicate that the tribofilms formed with ashless DDPs are thicker than those formed from ZDDP; however, the hardness and modulus of the tribofilm are lower in the case of ashless DDPs. XANES analysis indicate that in both tribofilms, phosphates are present as short chain phosphates. Ashless DDPs yield iron phosphates while ZDDP yielded a mix of iron and zinc phosphates. Both tribofilms have greater proportion of phosphates compared to sulfur species. The sulfur near the surface is mostly in the form of sulfates while the material in the interior is a mixture of sulfates and sulfides.
