Abstract
Many studies have been published on the use of solid fluorinated compounds as lubricants and lubricant additives, but much less has been done with oil-soluble fluorinated additives.
This paper describes a study of fluorinated telomers, especially fatty acids and their amine salts, for boundary lubrication (antiwear conditions). The antiwear effectiveness of these fluorinated compounds is compared with a commercial additive, zinc di-n-butyl dithiophosphate (ZDTP).
Modern analytical tools are used to study surface layers (XPS, automatic wetting balance), and wear particles (IR) to determine their antiwear mechanism. Special attention is given to fluorinated reaction film formation.
