Abstract	This article presents an investigation on the tribological properties of zinc borate ultrafine powder (ZBUP) employed as a lubricant additive in sunflower oil. The stable dispersions of 0.5, 1, and 2 wt% ZBUP in sunflower oil were achieved using an ultrasonic homogenizer. Both a four-ball tester and a pin-on-disc tester were employed to evaluate the antiwear and friction reduction capabilities of ZBUP. Tribofilms with a dark color were generated on the worn surfaces and showed good contrast with the substrate. The worn surface with different morphologies reflected as color alterations on the worn surface were observed when different lubricants were applied. The morphology and elemental analysis of the worn surfaces were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Mechanical properties of the tribofilms and substrates were studied with a nano-indentation tester. Test results suggest that tribofilms generated on the worn surface have relatively low hardness compared...
