LUBRICATION OF TITANIUM 'STATE OF THE ART'

Abstract

The advantages of using titanium in marine machinery are outlined, and the difficulty in lubricating machinery constructed of titanium is reviewed. A number of suggestions are given for possible research which might lead to the successful lubrication of titanium machinery components in a marine environment.
