In this study, ashless and non-corrosive dimercaptobenzothiadiazole derivatives (BBST and BOST) were synthesized and evaluated. BBST exhibited superior performance in terms of extreme pressure and anti-wear properties, surpassing the conventional additives MCCP and ZDDP.
The conventional medium chain chlorinated paraffin (MCCP) and zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) additives have greatly enhanced the extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear (AW) performance of the metalworking fluids. However, chlorine- and zinc-containing additives are restricted in use due to eco-toxicity issue. Herein, ashless and non-corrosive dimercaptobenzothiadiazole derivatives, namely bis-2,5-benzylsulfanyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazole (BBST) and bis-2,5-octylsulfanyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazole (BOST) consist of three sulfur atoms have been synthesized and evaluated. The performance of BBST shows a weld load (P-D) of 3089 N and AW value of 5 mm(2), which represents an improvement of 3.1 and 7.4 folds over naphthenic base oil (NBO). In addition, BBST also outperformed BOST, MCCP, and ZDDP in terms of its weld load and AW properties. Based on XPS analysis and molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEPS), BBST exhibits superior tribology performance due to the interaction between the sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), and pi-electrons of the benzene ring with the metal surface. The formation of FeS, Fe2O3 and Fe & ctdot;N coordinate bonds contributes to the creation of an excellent tribofilm.
