Abstract
Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the wear mechanisms, formations and effectiveness of tribofilms of new developed, antiwear additive
which is called mercapthocarboxylate. The mercapthocarboxylate is a sulphur-based and non-phosphorus additive.
Design/methodology/approach – The effectiveness of the additive was examined through a set of laboratory endurance tests that applied with
single cylinder spark ignition engine. Two types of lubricants were used to compare the engine tests which were thiophosphate (ZDDP) containing
engine lubricant (phosphorus containing) and mercapthocarboxylate containing non-phosphorus and non-ash crankcase oil. Lubricants were tested
under identical operating conditions for 100 hrs. The surfaces of cylinder liner and piston rings were inspected through optical microscopy, scanning
electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques.
Findings – Catalysis-friendly and sulphur-based mercapthocarboxylate additive can be an alternative antiwear additive package for lubrication oil
due to better wear performance when compared to ZDDP.
Originality/value – Sulphur-based mercapthocarboxylate is a new developed antiwear additive and was applied to lubrication oil in this study. This
lubrication oil was tested in the real engine environment by using 100-hr engine bench tests.
