Deuterated Fluids - Deuterated Synthetic Hydrocarbon Fluid and Grease.

Abstract

The replacement of hydrogen atoms with deuterium atoms in a synthetic hydrocarbon lubricant has been shown to substantially improve its oxidation resistance via the deuterium isotope effect. In addition, it was determined that the anti-friction bearing performance life of a MIL-G-81322 grease, formulated with the deuterium substituted fluid, increased significantly at 400 F (478 K). The results of this investigation are presented in this final report along with recommendations for the utilization of the deuterium isotope effect in developing a super clean instrument bearing grease.
