Vapour phase lubrication using a thioether. W. Morales et al. Lubric. Engng., March 1997, 53(3), 27--28.
Special lubricants are reviewed for the lubrication of aerospace components that operate at temperatures exceeding 300 C. Vapour phase lubricants that form a polymeric surface deposit show promise. Tricresyl phosphate has been used but limitations are described and some of its isomers are dangerous toxins. A liquid polyphenyl thioether is recommended as a liquid lubricant. Tribological studies are described using a high temperature friction and wear tribometer with a cast iron rod loaded against a reciprocating iron plate. Tests are carried out at 500 C with 0.014% concentrations of thioether. Advanced analytical techniques are used to confirm the presence of thin deposit films on wearing surfaces.
