    Abstract Three kinds of crop leaf-surface waxes were extracted from wheat, corn and broomcorn leaves, respectively. The crop leaf-surface waxes as lubricant additives were added to synthetic ester and the friction and wear properties of prepared lubricants for steel-aluminum and steel-copper friction pair were investigated in detail. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were employed to explore the friction mechanisms. The results show that crop leaf-surface waxes could successfully reduce the friction and wear of steel-aluminum and steel-copper sliding friction pairs as compared with pure synthetic ester. For example, when the More >
