RESEARCH ON MITIGATION OF SPLINE WEAR BY MEANS OF LUBRICATION

Abstract

Experiments were made to investigate the effect of hydrocarbon antioxidants on the spline wear observed when operating submerged in mineral oil. The results indicate that certain hydrocarbon antioxidants provide periods of negligible wear which otherwise do not occur in air-saturated mineral oil. The observed antioxidant effect and previously reported influences of environment composition are tentatively interpreted in terms of postulated wear mechanisms.
