Abstract

Some liquid lubricants for potential aerospace application were prepared. The lubricity of lubricants including silicon oil with and without chlorobenzene group, cyclotriphosphazene derivative X-1P and perfluoropolyether (PFPE) for both steel/steel and steel/bronze sliding pairs were studied. Chlorinated-phenyl and methyl terminated silicone oil - CPSO had excellent thermal stability, low temperature fluidity, and very low saturated vapour pressure. CPSO showed excellent tribological behavior for sliding pair of SAE 52100 steel/CuSn alloy, and was superior to perfluoropolyether in terms of friction-reduction ability and load-carrying capacity. Tribo-polymerization was found after sliding of steel against CuSn alloy under lubrication of CPSO, with the formation of very high molecular weight polymer. Phosphazene (X-1P) as additive for PFPE was useful to reduce wear of steel/CuSn alloy sliding pair. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the World Tribology Congress III (Washington, DC 9/12-16/2005).
