Abstract

Four kinds of oil-soluble Lanthanum (Neodymium) Dialkyldithiophosphate, LaDDP-3, LaDDP-8, NdDDP-3, NdDDP-8, were synthesized from P2S5, isopropanol or isooctyl alcohol and lanthanum chloride or neodymium chloride. The structure and element composition of these compounds were determined by Infrared Spectrography, EDTA titration and chemical analysis. Tribological behavior was evaluated and compared with that of commercialz inc dialkyldithiophosphate. The value of PB and the wear spot diameter at different loading for the four kinds of compounds were evaluated and the results indicate that ReDDP in this study shows more excellent tribological characteristics than ZnDDP. Results of energy dispersion analysis of X-ray (EDXA) show that La and Nd can diffuse into the wear spot surface under the tribological condition and then a rich La or Nd layer is found. This might be the main reason for the better extreme-pressure and antiwear properties of ReDDP.
