THE EFFECT OF THE ALKYL CHAIN STRUCTURE ON THE ANTISEIZURE PROPERTIES OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF ETHOXYLATED ALCOHOLS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2012, Vol 245, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of the structure of the alkyl chain of ethoxylated fatty alcohols on antiseizure properties of their aqueous solutions. The subjects of the study were aqueous solutions of a mixture of lauryl and myristyl alcohols ethoxylated with 7 and 10 moles of ethylene oxide and two isotridecyl alcohols ethoxylated with 7 and 9 moles of ethylene oxide. The tribological characteristics were expressed by antiseizure properties whose measure were scuffing load (Pt), seizure load (Poz), limiting pressure of seizure (poz), and wear scar diameter (d). A fourball tribotester (T-02) was used in the tests. The analysis of the quantities characterising seizure indicates that, compared to linear alcohols, branched-chain alcohols are considerably less efficient in antiseizure properties. The observed changes in tribological quantities are interpreted in terms of the lower stability of the lubricant film formed by isoalcohols from their aqueous solutions. The lubricant film being formed under friction conditions is not stable and does not sufficiently protect friction pair elements against wear and seizure. Therefore, aqueous solutions of isoalcohols cannot act as efficient lubricants under relatively low load conditions.
