Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been explored as possible
additives in engine oil for optimizing the tribological
performances of Internal Combustion engines. Several
articles published in the recent past have discussed
Trihexyltetradecyl phosphonium bis (2, 4, 4-
trimethylpentyl) phosphinate as a potential additive due
to its high miscibility and low corrosive nature. This study
focuses on the tribological behaviour of various
concentrations of Trihexyltetradecyl phosphonium bis (2,
4, 4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinate and ZDDP additives
and their blends in mineral base oil and engine oil. Wear
of cylinder sleeve–pin specimens was analysed using a
reciprocating wear test rig. Further, surface morphology
was analysed using SEM analysis. Addition of a 3%
concentration of IL Trihexyltetradecyl phosphonium bis
(2, 4, 4-tri-methylpentyl) phosphinate into engine oil
demonstrated significant reduction in friction and wear.
