EVAPORATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FROM METAL SURFACES AT HIGH VACUUM,

Abstract

For the purpose of gathering additional information on the behavior of lubricants in space, a study was made of the removal of the last monolayer of non-polar hydrocarbon on metal surfaces, using coefficient of friction measurement as an indication of amount of material remaining. Work is reported involving the establishment of data on coefficient of friction of surfaces that are incompletely covered with friction reducing films, and relationship of pressure to friction of the monolayer remaining on metal surfaces.
