New strategy for reducing the EHL friction in steel contacts using additive-formed oleophobic boundary films
Abstract In this study we present a mechanism for the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) friction reduction in steel/steel contacts, which occurs due to the formation of oleophobic surface boundary layers from common boundary-lubrication additives. Several simple organic additives (amine, alcohol, amide, and...
