Journal ArticleDOI

Review of the lubrication of metallic surfaces by zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphates

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature over the last 50 years provides insight into the overall picture of ZDDP by focussing on their chemical characterization, film formation mechanisms, properties and structure as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in chemical characterization of antiwear films generated by ZDDP Part I: the effects of physical parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of physical parameters on the composition and mechanism of anti-wear film formation are discussed, and a new mechanism for anti-wear film formation is proposed based on the above information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sampling depth of total electron and fluorescence measurements in Si L- and K-edge absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sampling depths of TEY and FY for Si L-edge and Si K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra for SiO2 on Si substrates using total electron yield (TEY) and fluorescence yield (FY) techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solution decomposition of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate and its effect on antiwear and thermal film formation studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ZDDP oil solution chemistry changes due to thermal decomposition, on anti-wear and thermal film chemistries, film thickness and wear, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical characterization of tribochemical and thermal films generated from neutral and basic ZDDPs using X-ray absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical structures of P and S species in the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of model compounds with known structure as fingerprints have been identified.
