AB - Phosphorus-containing esters are widely used as additives in lubricating oils to reduce wear of rubbing steel surfaces. Recent work has suggested that these additives function by forming a protective layer on the rubbing surfaces, of the order of the surface roughness in thickness. This layer can be a rigid polymeric solid but in some cases appears to be material weakly bonded to the metal surfaces and easily rubbed off. The enhanced viscosity of this material relative to that of bulk oil appears to ensure surface separation by elastohydrodynamic means even at high temperatures where the viscosity of the bulk oil is very low. This paper provides experimental support for the existence of thick anti-wear films for a range of phosphorous esters and discusses their structure, mechanism of formation and practical implications.
