Wear is the main effect for the limited life-time of most mechanical systems and causes very cost-intensive repair and replacement activities. Therefore, a lot of efforts are made to reduce wear and to increase the life-time of modern mechanical systems. Cu (II) chelate of bissalicylaldehyde-ethylenediamine was chosen as additive for liquid lubricants, which is investigated as it has a big self-repair potential. This Schiff base copper complex is a metal-organic chelate complex, which is able to create negative wear as well as to reduce friction due to the self-assembling of a protective layer. Under high temperatures and high contact pressures, which occur during the friction processes, the copper is released from the complex and attaches at the surface. This process is investigated using a micro-tribometer in the milli Newton range to create applicational friction conditions. Additional characterisations are performed with AFM, SEM and spectroscopic methods to analyse the self-repair effects and display tendencies for future applications.
