Effect of Surface-Active Lubricants on the Contact Fatigue Life of Hardened Ball-Bearing Steel,

Abstract

The addition of up to 0.2 percent stearic acid to industrial oils reduced the contact fatigue limit of steels. Concentrations of 0.2-0.3 percent had no effect. The effect of steric acid addition was reduced on steels of higher purity. (Author)
