Abstract
As an oil-based superlubricity material on steel surfaces, 1,3-diketone fluid is promising for the friction reduction of mechanical devices. However, the unsaturation of its molecular structure would potentially cause the oxidation problem in industrial applications. In this study, the oxidation mechanism of diketone fluid 1-(4-ethyl phenyl) nonane-1,3-dione (EPND) was discovered through the accelerated oxidation experiment in an oven. By doping butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) anti-oxidation additive at an optimal concentration of 0.5%, both the oxidation onset temperature (OOT) and oxidation induction time (OIT) of EPND could be enhanced to a comparable level of 4121 commercial oil, which is a fully-formulated lubricant with a similar viscosity to EPND. Moreover, the friction test verified that the incorporated BHT additive induced negligible influence on the superlubricity performance of EPND. The result of this study is helpful for improving the weakness of the diketone superlubricity system and promotes a further step in its practical applications.
期刊介绍:
Lubrication Science is devoted to high-quality research which notably advances fundamental and applied aspects of the science and technology related to lubrication. It publishes research articles, short communications and reviews which demonstrate novelty and cutting edge science in the field, aiming to become a key specialised venue for communicating advances in lubrication research and development.
Lubrication is a diverse discipline ranging from lubrication concepts in industrial and automotive engineering, solid-state and gas lubrication, micro & nanolubrication phenomena, to lubrication in biological systems. To investigate these areas the scope of the journal encourages fundamental and application-based studies on:
Synthesis, chemistry and the broader development of high-performing and environmentally adapted lubricants and additives.
State of the art analytical tools and characterisation of lubricants, lubricated surfaces and interfaces.
Solid lubricants, self-lubricating coatings and composites, lubricating nanoparticles.
Gas lubrication.
Extreme-conditions lubrication.
Green-lubrication technology and lubricants.
Tribochemistry and tribocorrosion of environment- and lubricant-interface interactions.
Modelling of lubrication mechanisms and interface phenomena on different scales: from atomic and molecular to mezzo and structural.
Modelling hydrodynamic and thin film lubrication.
All lubrication related aspects of nanotribology.
Surface-lubricant interface interactions and phenomena: wetting, adhesion and adsorption.
Bio-lubrication, bio-lubricants and lubricated biological systems.
Other novel and cutting-edge aspects of lubrication in all lubrication regimes.
