We now know that ZDDP tribofilm formation is promoted by applied shear stress and this explains many of the features of these films. We also now recognise that ZDDP tribofilms evolve during rubbing from relatively soft, long chain polyphosphate films to much more wear-resistant, short chain phosphates. Several disadvantages of ZDDPs as lubricant additives have emerged in recent years, in particular their tendency to increase friction in thin film rubbing conditions, their promotion of micropitting wear, and accelerated wear when present together with soot contaminants in engine oils. Research has revealed the origins of all these effects. Over the last 20 years there have been growing efforts to model ZDDP tribofilm formation, both at a macro- and molecular-scale, so far with limited success.

Scuffing has proven difficult to study because it initiates unpredictably, progresses rapidly, and typically develops within an inaccessible contact interface. Although there have been successful in-situ studies of scuffing in real-time, the transparent counter body needed for these studies changes the interactions between the surfaces and the lubricant, which affects the scuffing process in unknown ways. This paper describes the development of X-ray-compatible tribometry to study the scuffing of self-mated steels in-situ and in real-time. The method uses a crossed cylinders configuration with a thin (500 μm thick) stationary component and a small (≈200 μm) contact width to maximize X-ray interactions with atoms within the stress field generated by the contact. The resulting instrument and method are used to benchmark the scuffing response of self-mated 52,100 steel under tribologically challenging ‘oil-off’ lubrication conditions. The results demonstrate reliable scuffing in this configuration despite the relatively small contact areas and loads used. Following scuffing, gross plastic deformation was observed on both surfaces along with significant subsurface grain refinement and flow only on the stationary surface, which experienced constant contact. Interestingly, high friction initiated at specific locations of the migratory surface, which experienced intermittent contact, and then propagated across the track over time, suggesting that local conditions of the migratory surface dominated friction leading into the failure event.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11249-025-01971-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143388793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Characterization techniques, such as TEM, XPS, TGA, and DLS were used to analyze the structural and chemical properties of the nanoparticles and the tribofilms formed during the friction tests. At room temperature, low crystallinity nanoparticles show superior friction reduction due to their structural defects which facilitate their exfoliation and make easier dispersant adsorption and effective nanoparticle interaction with surfaces. Higher friction coefficients are obtained with the high crystallinity nanoparticles. This is attributed to a less easy exfoliation of the nanoparticles together with greater difficulty for the dispersant to interact with closed-structure nanoparticles. The tribofilm is thicker with high crystallinity particles and made of exfoliated MoS₂ sheets together with intact nanoparticles. At 100 °C, the friction performance of both nanoparticles are similar and very good as the dispersant looks to desorb from the rubbing surfaces, highlighting the significant impact of temperature on dispersant behavior and friction reduction.

However, it is unclear how these debris particles are generated and released from macrotextured implant surfaces, and whether wear debris generation is related to implant stiffness. In this study, we created an accelerated implant aging model to investigate the formation of silicone wear debris produced from self-mated (“shell-shell”) tribological interactions. We created implant-like silicone elastomers from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using Sylgard 184 base:curing agent (10:1, 12:1, and 16:1) and quantified their mechanical properties (<i>E*</i> = 1141 ± 472, 336 ± 20, and 167 ± 53 kPa, respectively).

Our findings demonstrate that the interlayer friction coefficient decreases exponentially with increasing applied load, increases with higher shear rates, and decreases with rising temperatures. The exponential decrease allows fullerenes to achieve ultra-low friction under high pressure, primarily due to their strong resistance to compressive deformation and the “ball-bearing effect”. Furthermore, as the applied pressure increases, the confinement becomes more pronounced, further accelerating the transition from sliding to rolling friction, thereby enhancing lubrication performance.
