THE EFFECT OF GREASE CHARACTERISTICS UPON FRETTING DAMAGE.

Abstract

Five different greases chosen to exhibit differences in shear stability, consistency, or base oil viscosity were tested. These test specimens were of carbon steel heat treated to two degrees of hardness, and surface finished to two smoothness ranges. Another set of specimens of 1018 steel, not heat treated, were also used. (Author, modified-PL).
