Abstract
The friction and wear behavior of sialon ceramics sliding against steel and lubricated by perfluoropolyethers (PFPE), tetrakis (3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-bis(4-fluoro-phenoxy)-cyclotriphosphazene (X-1P) and ionic liquid (1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, coded as L 108) were investigated. It was found that the three fluorine-containing lubricants reduced friction coefficient and wear volume effectively. The effectiveness of the three lubricants in reducing wear volume could be ranked as L108>X-1P>PFPE. The antiwear films mainly consisting of organic oxyfluoride or carbonfluoride species and silicon fluoride are all observed for the three lubricants, while the degradation of PFPE during friction might account for the higher wear volume therewith. The lowest friction coefficient 0.065 was recorded for L 108 under load of 0.5-400 N. This is dependent on the physically adsorbed ionic liquid on the rubbing surface and the formation of BN under the harsh conditions.
