Abstract

In this paper, nano/microstructure lanthanum borates were synthesized by hydrothermal route. Furthermore, oleic acid-capped nano/microstructure lanthanum borates (OANLBs) were also prepared. The nano/microstructure of lanthanum borate is characterized by means of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At the same time, the friction and wear properties of OANLBs as additives in poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) were measured for AISI 1045 steel and laser treated AISI 1045 steel. Results show that the PAO containing OANLBs possesses much better tribological properties for steel/steel and steel/laser treated AISI 1045 steel sliding pairs than pure PAO.
