LUBRICATION BEHAVIOR OF LIQUID METALS.

Abstract

This research program was conducted to deter mine the lubrication behavior of liquid metals. The objectives of the program were to study hy drodynamic bearing theory to determine the fric tional characteristics, eccentricity, and load carrying capacity of full journal bearings and to compare experimental data with analytical data and attempt to explain any discrepancies. Pre liminary studies were conducted using Stoddard solvent as the lubricant. These studies sug gest several modifications of the experimental apparatus and indicated some precautionary meas ures that must be taken to obtain reliable data. (Author)
