Solid Film Lubricant Evaluation Techniques

Abstract

Document discusses the use of mechanical, physical and chemical evaluation techniques for solid lubricants. Those mechanical evaluation tests reviewed include simulative friction and wear tests and component test employing specimens such as gears and bearings. Physical and chemical tests include those for studying adhesion, thermal resistance, fluid compatibility, oxidation behavior, film thickness and thermal shock tests.
