Dust Environment Lubricant Test

Abstract

This report contains information and results from dust tests and a salt fog test conducted on various military and commercially available Lubricants applied to rifles and phosphate coated steel plates. Lubricants that were tested included synthetic and petroleum-based oils, greases and dry film lubricants. Testing was performed to determine which lubricants would give the best performance in environments of airborne dust and fine sand, high temperature and corrosive airborne salts.... Small arms, Lubricants, Dust and salt fog tests.
