Abstract:

Poly α-olefin was used as a base oil to prepare polyurea grease. The properties of phosphorus and sulfur-free organic tungsten and organic molybdenum, sulfurized olefin cotton oil additives in polyurea grease were studied on friction pair of copper disc and steel ball. The reciprocating friction and wear tester was used to evaluate the tribological properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to analyze the worn surfaces of copper. The copper strip tests were also investigated in this article. The results show that the polyurea greases prepared with phosphorus and sulfur-free organic tungsten and organic molybdenum have excellent tribological properties. Among of the additives tested, the organic tungsten is the best, and the results are better than that of the sulfurized olefin cotton oil additive. When the contents of three additives are 2.0%, the friction coefficient and wear width are all the lowest. The corrosion on copper of lubricating greases with phosphorus and sulfur-free additive is lower.
