Abstract:A kind of borate (Titled as SPNB) containing thiophosphoric acid functional group as lubricating oil additive was synthesized by n-butanol, phosphorus pentasulfide, diethanolamine, boric acid etc and its chemical structure was characterized using elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The soluble stability and hydrolytic stability of the SPNB were studied in hydrogenated oil HVI H200, and its tribological and performances of suppression oil temperature rising in base oil with different mass fractions and loads were evaluated on a four-ball tester, then the worn steel surface was observed and examined by means of SEM/EDS. Results showed that the SPNB has a good soluble stability and good hydrolytic stability in the base oil. When 0.5%SPNB was added into the base oil, the wear scar diameter(WSD) of steel ball and friction coefiicient(μ) could be reduced by 24% and 20%, respectively, the pB and pD values could be incresed by 60% and 26%, respectively, which compared with the base oil, meanwhile it is good to supress oil temperature rising.
