NEW PRESERVATIVE LUBRICANTS FOR SMALL-ARMS WEAPONS FOR USE IN A TROPICAL AND SALINE ENVIRONMENT.

Abstract

Comparative laboratory evaluations were made with several experimental and conventional preservative lubricants for small-arms weapons. The evaluations covered the protective capacity of these materials on Aluminum 7075 T6 and steel alloy in saline, high-temperature and high humidity conditions, which simulate the Vietnam environment.
