Abstract
This paper relates studies of film behavior in mixed lubrication in a concentrated contact. In the simulator, 52100 steel specimens and TCP in hexadecane as lubricant are used. When the pure EHL regime is studied, no solid film is formed on surfaces, but within the boundary lubrication regime, the chemical decomposition of the additive contributes to a continuous film formation. In the mixed regime (ML): EHL- boundary lubrication, these films are formed and their thickness increases with time and with the slidelroll ratio. Surface damage can also be related with this ratio. A slight reduction of the traction force is found when these reaction films are present on the rolling tracks. This result is discussed.
