Lubrication with Naturally Occurring Double Oxide Films
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the lubrication characteristics of double oxides which could occur naturally on high temperature bearing materials. Consideration was given to the double oxides of iron, nickel, cobalt, rhenium, osmium, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, chromium, copper, titanium, aluminum, boron, and niobium. A survey was conducted to obtain property data on such compounds and a number selected for evaluation. Primary consideration was given to the rhenates, molybdates, vanadates, borates, osmoniates, and chromates. Friction tests were run over the temperature range 26 to 650C with single oxides, double oxides, and metal powders which would form such oxides.
