Mixed lubrication is a contact condition when the total load is carried by both the fluid lubricant and the solid contacting asperities. The aim of this study is to couple tribochemistry with lubrication. A recent semi-deterministic tribochemical model of tribofilm growth is integrated in a deterministic mixed lubrication model. The model considers the variable hardness of the tribofilm and enables the study of lubrication and tribochemistry and their mutual interaction. Results from the current model are compared against the previously published results. The model can be easily adapted to actual experimental conditions and geometries. The model can be used beyond pure boundary lubrication conditions to monitor tribofilm growth under mixed lubrication conditions.
