The Effect of the Preformed Oil or Oxide Film on the Lubricated Sliding Surfaces.

The methods to prevent or suppress the initial failure of the sliding surfaces by the formation of the protection film during the manufacturing process were studied. Now it has been known that the surface protection film which was formed during the running-in process is mainly $Fe_3O_4$ and its film was formed only at the limited oxygen ability during the lubricated sliding. So it was tried to form the same oxide film before the sliding by heat treatment at 300$\circ$C with the wetted specimen by oil. The results show that a thin oxide film ($Fe_3O_4$) was formed on the surface beneath the solid oil film and the specimen with this film has much better friction properties than those prepared with heat treatment at 500$\circ$C and 700$\circ$C or the original one.
