The antiwear performance of dialkyl 3, 5-di-t-butyl 4-hydroxy benzyl phosphonates was investigated using a four ball wear test machine. Diethyl 3, 5-di-t-butyl 4-hydroxy benzyl phosphonate (DEP) and dibutyl 3,5-di-t-butyl 4-hydroxy benzyl phosponate (DBP) among them showed excellent antiwear performances compared with conventional additives, ZDDP and TCP as the bulk oil temperature and the sliding velocity increased. The surface analysis through an optical microscopy was conducted for tribological studies.
