Simulated adsorptive experiments using the axletree and lubricating oil containing anticorrosion additive were conducted,and the UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was measured.Through the UV spectral measurements the difference in UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was identified,the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film between lubricating oil and bearing was calculated using the Lambert-Bell principle to verify the adsorption of corrosion inhibitor on the surface of friction pairs.Adsorption experiments on lubricating oil containing both antiwear and anticorrosion additives were carried out and the UV absorbance of lubricating oil samples before and after the experiments was measured to determine the difference in the UV absorbance among lubricating oil samples with the same mass fraction of anticorrosion additive and different mass fractions of antiwear additive.By measuring the ultraviolet spectral absorbance of lubricating oil samples and calculating the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film it was possible to determine the influence of antiwear additive on the quantity of adsorbed anticorrosion additive on the surface of friction pairs and verify the competitive adsorption relationship between the antiwear additive and the anticorrosion additive.
