Resumen:

Lubricants bases for metalworking applications make extensive use of water-soluble additives to reduce friction and wear. In order to do such task, these additives must form a lubricating film that separates the contact surfaces, thus imparting good surface finishes to the worked parts. This paper presents a study on the tribological performance of aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium thiomolybdates and thiotungstates. Tests were carried out on a pin-on-disc tribometer for a steel-aluminum contact while keeping load, entrainment speed, sliding distance, temperature and concentration of the additive constant to study the lubrication effect of these two salts. Chemical analysis of the wear track indicates the presence of an in-contact formed solid film enriched with MoS2 and WS2 that reduces friction markedly. This reduction in friction, observed for both solutions, is highly dependent on the alkyl group. Copyright © 2006 by ASME.
