Zf. Zhang et al., TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF 4,5-DI(CETYL THIO)-1,3-DITHIOLE-2-THIONE AS ADDITIVE IN LIQUID PARAFFIN, Wear, 210(1-2), 1997, pp. 273-277
The synthesis of a new type of oil additive, 4,5-di(cetyl thio)-1,3-di
thiole-2-thione, is described. The thermal stability of the compound w
as investigated by thermal gravity analysis (TGA). The tribological pr
operties of the compound as additive in liquid paraffin were also eval
uated using a four ball tester. The results show that the novel compou
nd has good tribological properties in liquid paraffin. The lubricatin
g mechanism was studied by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-r
ay photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
