Physical
& Chemical Properties
Various phosphorous containing compounds are added to lubrication
oils to improve anti-wear properties. The most common is tricresyl
phosphate (TCP). Other organo-phosphates and phosphates are used.
These compounds are thought to adsorb on or react with the rubbing
metal surface to form protective films of organometallic or iron phosphate.
Some tribological parts, such as cam shafts, are pretreated to form
thick iron manganese phosphate coatings to minimize metal-to-metal
contact during break-in.
