Non-halogenated Ionic Liquid Dramatically Enhances Tribological Performance of Biodegradable Oils

It is demonstrated that a phosphonium orthoborate ionic liquid may serve as a wear reducing additive in biodegradable oils at steel-steel surfaces in the boundary lubrication regime. Tribological tests were performed in a ball-on-three plate configuration. A set of surface characterization technique...
