AB - The ionic liquids (IL) lubrication properties in mixed rolling-sliding and rolling EHL conditions were studied. The tribological performance of four neat IL was compared with an additized mineral oil (MO). RITL friction coefficients were less than the MO for all speed and slide-roll conditions studied. The film thickness results showed that three of the fluids demonstrated classical EHL behavior with log film vs. log speed gradients in the range 0.56-0.66. However, the 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate fluid gave anomalously thick, time-dependent film results at low speeds. This behavior was associated with the shorter, alkyl chain cations (l-butyl-3-methyl) rather than the anion. Film formation was not due to RTIL decomposition and subsequent anion reaction with the wear surface. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the World Tribology Congress (Kyoto, Japan 9/6-11/2009).
