AI Technical Summary
Existing lubricating additives cannot adaptively adjust their performance under Fe/Cu friction pairs, resulting in high friction coefficients and severe wear. Traditional additives also have poor protective film stability and wear resistance.
A lubricating additive formed by the addition reaction of benzotriazole and alkyl acid (such as lauric acid) forms a double protective film on the surface of the Fe/Cu friction pair. The stable protective layer is generated by the adsorption of benzotriazole on the Cu surface and the adsorption of carboxylic acid groups on the Fe surface, which significantly reduces the coefficient of friction and wear.
It exhibits excellent adaptive performance under different friction conditions, significantly reduces the coefficient of friction and wear, improves lubrication performance, and is environmentally friendly.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lubricating materials, and particularly relates to a lubricating additive with self-adaptive performance for Fe / Cu friction pairs, a preparation method thereof, a liquid lubricating system and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The application of lubricating technology in modern mechanical equipment is crucial, especially in improving energy utilization efficiency, reducing friction and wear, and prolonging the service life of equipment. However, in the face of complex and changing working environments and extreme friction conditions, existing lubricating additives often cannot respond and adjust their performance in time, resulting in unsatisfactory lubrication effect of the friction pairs. Especially in the lubrication of Fe / Cu friction pairs, traditional lubricating oils and additives often face problems such as high friction coefficient and severe wear, and new type of lubricating additives need to be developed to improve their tribological properties and meet the demand of high-efficiency lubrication in the industrial field.
[0003] Most of the currently marketed lubricating additives have a single function, such as anti-wear agents, friction-reducing agents, extreme pressure agents, etc. These additives can usually only solve a single lubrication problem and are difficult to meet multiple performance requirements. Especially for Fe / Cu friction pairs, the lubrication effect of traditional additives is often limited by their inability to adaptively adjust under different friction conditions, and the stability of the protective film and the wear resistance provided by the traditional additives are poor. SUMMARY

[0023] The lubricating additive provided by the application is a small molecule lubricating oil additive, which contains benzotriazole and carboxylic acid groups in the structure and can form a self-adaptive protective film on the surface of the Fe / Cu friction pair. Benzotriazole is easy to adsorb on the Cu surface and form a protective film, while the carboxylic acid group is easy to adsorb on the Fe surface and form a stable protective layer. The lubricating additive can significantly reduce the friction coefficient and wear degree of the Fe / Cu friction pair and improve the lubricating performance by forming a double protective film. At the same time, the alkyl chain length of 11-13 has a positive effect on the lubricating performance of the lubricating additive.
