Boundary lubrication is one of the most interesting topics in the field of tribology, and many studies have been conducted in the past to gain deeper understanding of the behaviour of boundary lubrication layers formed by additives mixed in lubricants because the layer largely affects the tribological property of the target surface. With a strong demand to clarify the behaviour of boundary lubrication layers, several new approaches to in situ (=in lubricant) analysis have been proposed and applied. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of combined use of neutron reflectometry and frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy for the quantitative analysis of boundary lubrication layers formed at the interface between the metal substrate and lubricant and introduced their application with concrete case examples.

结合使用中子反射计和调频原子力显微镜可更深入地了解摩擦学

边界润滑是摩擦学领域中最有趣的主题之一，过去已经进行了许多研究，以便更深入地了解由润滑油中掺入的添加剂形成的边界润滑层的行为，因为该层在很大程度上影响了润滑脂的摩擦学性能。目标表面。在阐明边界润滑层行为的强烈要求下，已提出并应用了几种新的现场（在润滑剂中）分析方法。本文着重于结合使用中子反射计和调频原子力显微镜对金属基底与润滑剂之间的界面处形成的边界润滑层进行定量分析的有效性，并以具体的实例为例介绍了它们的应用。
