Zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) is a key antiwear additive in lubricants that forms robust
phosphate glass-based tribofilms to mitigate wear on rubbing surfaces. The quest to unravel …

The effect of atmospheric gas on zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) tribofilm formation was
investigated. Macroscale friction tests and in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

Surface texturing can improve lubrication and entrap wear debris but increases the effective
roughness of the surfaces, which can induce higher contact pressures. On the one hand, this …

Abstract Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate (ZDDP) is widely used in internal combustion engine
lubricating oil, which forms tribofilm and effectively blocks the direct contact of the material …

Purpose Rolling bearing operation under mixed and boundary lubrication conditions may
lead to heavy adhesive or abrasive wear, which may lead to wear-induced rolling bearing …

The advent of low-viscosity lubricants has enhanced the economic viability of fuel utilization.
As a concomitant effect, machine workpieces are more prone to operate in the context of …

The formation of tribofilms depends on temperature, shear stress, availability of the related
chemical components, and characteristics of the near surface region, eg, roughness and …

This work investigates the influence of altered engine oil on the tribological performance,
focusing in particular on wear and interconnected tribofilm formation. For this purpose, Zinc …

This research aims to track the chemical composition and fine structure of tribofilm, primarily
considering sulfur-and phosphorus-related compounds in response to different applied …

Ashless dialkyldithiophosphate (DDP) antiwear additives are good candidates to replace the
widely used metallic DDPs such as zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), which are less …
