Effect of Surface Roughness on Tribochemical Decomposition of Synthetic Oils under High-Vacuum Conditions

This study investigates the effects of both, molecular structure and surface roughness, on the tribochemical decomposition of synthetic base oils under high-vacuum conditions. Nascent steel surfaces exhibit high activity to catalyze the decomposition of synthetic oil under lubricating conditions. De...
