Abstract
A radioactive tracer technique was used to investigate a tribo-chemical surface reaction obtained by a thrust collar type friction Machine. Radioactive dibenzyl disulfide labeled with sulfur-35 was used as an additive. Steel and copper disks were used as friction specimens.
Radioactive copper sulfide on the friction surface was quantitatively measured with a G-M tube, and a kinetical analysis of the reaction was carried out.
The friction coefficient decreased linearly depending on the amount of surface produced on the friction surface. This dependency was accompanied by adsorption of dibenzyl disulfide, which made a more effective lubricating oil film and was enhanced by the sulfide on the friction surface.
The results of kinetical analysis were explained effectively by considering the oil film behavior related to the adsorptive action of the surface sulfide.
