Improving the lubricating properties of transmission oils by activating the processes of boundary films formation

The properties of the boundary lubricating films determine the performance of friction units, which is most important in the event of a loss of lubricant. It has been found that when sunflower oil is added to mineral transmission oil, strong boundary layers are formed during friction. These layers reduce wear and friction. Vegetable oils with the lowest iodine value have the best antiwear properties. The additional introduction of the product of the interaction of rosin with copper (II) hydroxide into the transmission oil makes it possible to form lubricating structured layers that improve the tribotechnical properties.
