Tribological performance of N‐containing heterocyclic triazine derivative as lubricant additive in ethylene glycol

N‐containing heterocyclic compound (NCHC) was a common used green lubricant addictive due to their extreme pressure, antiwear and friction–reduction performance, and high thermal stability, and ethylene glycol (EG) as lubricant exhibited superior tribological performance, combining of NCHCs, which was a suitable candidate for further improving the tribosystems' tribological properties. Thus, in this work, the synergistic effect between EG and 2,4,6‐Tris(2‐pyridinyl)‐s‐triazine (TPT) on the tribological performance was explored coupling of the applied loads and rotational speed. The tribological tests showed that TPT played an important role in improving the tribological properties as sliding in TPT@EG; the formation of the tribofilms induced by tribochemical reaction was in charge of enhancing the tribosystem's lubrication performance sliding in TPT@EG.
