Abstract

Three novel ashless triazine-dithiocarbamate derivatives, which are potential environmentally friendly oil additives, were synthesized. Their tribological properties as additives in rapeseed oil (RSO) were evaluated using a four-ball tester. Their anticorrosive properties and thermal stabilities were also investigated. The results indicate that the three novel triazine-dithiocarbamate compounds possess excellent load-carrying capacity, good corrosion inhibiting performance and high thermal stability. Although these additives show friction-reducing property at high additive concentration (5 wt.%), they have friction increase and wear promote natures in most cases. The elemental composition and chemical state of the antiwear films generated on steel counterface were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the synthetic additives reacted with the counterface metal and generated a surface protective film consisting of sulfate, FeS and absorbed compounds containing organic-N.
