Abstract
The friction and wear properties of synthetic ionic liquid functionalized borate esters as additives in poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) were measured for diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on plasma nitrided AISI 1045 steel. Results show that the borate esters gave much better friction–reduction and antiwear properties for DLC coating/steel and DLC coating/DLC coating sliding pairs than zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). In addition the DLC coating had much better wear resistance than the nitrided mild steel substrate, indicating that duplicate surface modification was more effective in significantly increasing the wear resistance of mild steel.
