Download or read book Lubricants written by Marika Torbacke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those working with tribology often have a background in mechanical engineering, while people working with lubricant development have a chemistry/chemical engineering background. This means they have a tradition of approaching problems in different ways. Today’s product development puts higher demands on timing and quality, requiring collaboration between people with different backgrounds. However, they can lack understanding of each other’s challenges as well as a common language, and so this book aims to bridge the gap between these two areas. Lubricants: Introduction to Properties and Performance provides an easy to understand overview of tribology and lubricant chemistry. The first part of the book is theoretical and provides an introduction to tribological contact, friction, wear and lubrication, as well as the basic concepts regarding properties and the most commonly made analyses on lubricants. Base fluids and their properties and common additives used in lubricants are also covered. The second part of the book is hands-on and introduces the reader to the actual formulations and the evaluation of their performance. Different applications and their corresponding lubricant formulations are considered and tribological test methods are discussed. Finally used oil characterisation and surface characterisation are covered which give the reader an introduction to different methods of characterising used oils and surfaces, respectively. Key features: Combines chemistry and tribology of lubricants into one unified approach Covers the fundamental theory, describing lubricant properties as well as base fluids and additives Contains practical information on the formulations of lubricants and evaluates their performance Considers applications of lubricants in hydraulics, gears and combustion engines Lubricants: Introduction to Properties and Performance is a comprehensive reference for industry practitioners (tribologists, lubricant technicians, and lubricant chemists, etc) and is also an excellent source of information for graduate and undergraduate students.

Download or read book Characterization of Lubricants in Terms of Transition Diagram Data written by J. W. Mens and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterization of lubricants, meant for application in counterformal contact situations (concentrated sliding contacts), is usually performed with standard tests, e.g. of the four-ball type. Results, thus produced, are of limited value, because of doubts, regarding correlation with practical performance data. In this respect the IRG(International Research Group) Transition Diagram method, developed by the cooperative efforts of eight different laboratories, probably stands a better chance of success. As an example, five high-performance lubricants i.e. three mineral oils, i.e. Amoco 300, Citgo C-5 and REO 203 and two synthetic oils, i.e. Mobil Jet II and Royco 555, were characterized with this method.

Download or read book Analytical Approach to the Characterization of Military Lubricants written by L. L. Stavinoha and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an integral part of the Army's overall power train lubrication research effort, analytical/instrumental methods continue to be developed for use in determining compositional characteristics of new lubricants and to detect unusual contaminants in new and used lubricants. Included among the various types of instruments being used in this work to characterize lubricants are: gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (reversed-phase, adsorption, gel-permeation), and spectrophotometry (IR, UV, AA, XRF). Methods to separate lubricants into component parts according to chemical types in order to simplify the subsequent analysis and identification of the component parts have been applied with favorable results. Characterization of lubricants to include additives is not yet complete. Ultimate refinements of this approach will provide the detailed compositional information needed to define base stock characterization, develop correlation of lubricant component to equipment performance, and identify sources of new, used, synthetic and re-refined lubricants, power train and hydraulic fluids.
Download or read book Nanolubricants written by Jean Michel Martin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technology involved in lubrication by nanoparticles is a rapidly developing scientific area and one that has been watched with interest for the past ten years. Nanolubrication offers a solution to many problems associated with traditional lubricants that contain sulphur and phosphorus; and though for some time the production of nanoparticles was restricted by the technologies available, today synthesis methods have been improved to such a level that it is possible to produce large quantities relatively cheaply and efficiently. Nanolubricants develops a new concept of lubrication, based on these nanoparticles, and along with the authors’ own research it synthesises the information available on the topic of nanolubrication from existing literature and presents it in a concise form. Describes the many advantages and potential applications of nanotechnology in the tribological field. Offers a full review of the state-of-the-art as well as much original research that is yet unpublished. Includes sections on boundary lubrication by colloïdal systems, nanolubricants made of metal dichalcogenides, carbon-based nanolubricants, overbased detergent salts, nanolubricants made of metals and boron-based solid nanolubricants and lubrication additives. Authored by highly regarded experts in the field with contributions from leading international academics. Nanolubricants will appeal to postgraduate students, academics and researchers in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and materials science. It should also be of interest to practising engineers with petroleum companies and mechanical manufacturers.

Download or read book Characterization of Motor Oils and Other Lubricants by High Performance Liquid Chromatography Three dimensional Excitation Emission Matrices and Two dimensional Low Temperature Fluorescence Spectroscopy written by Kelly A. Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminals often use automobiles during the commission of crimes. Criminalists routinely analyze automotive transfer of evidence, including paint, rubber and glass in order to establish an association between a suspect car and a person or object that may have come in contact with that car. Currently, there is no routine forensic method to analyze transferred automotive undercarriage residue. This feasibility study will use fluorescence spectroscopy, both room-temperature and low-temperature (77K), and HPLC, to analzye this material and will investigate the use of compiled spectral libraries to assist in determining the evidentiary value of this process for this sample set. Automobile undercarriage residues are a complex mixture of compounds from many sources including automotive fluids, asphalt residues, exhaust particulates and tire particulates. Each of these sources may contain compounds that fluoresce when excited with light in the ultraviolet or visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Given the many sources of fluorescing compounds, it is hypothesized that the two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum of automobile undercarriage residues along with HPLC analysis can be used to differentiate among automobiles.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A statistical analysis of the performance of a ceramic bonded solid film lubricant is presented. The ceramic bonded film, PbS/B2O3 in a six to one weight ratio of lubricant to binder, is of interest in the 700 to 1000 F temperature range. Experiments were conducted on the Hohman A-6 tester with two loading shoes. The analysis of variance shows that, within the range of the variables studied, the main effects of bearing load and ambient temperature are significant, and that a response to a change in temperature depends on speed. The results are analyzed with an approximate and with an exact statistical method. The two methods lead to identical conclusions. (Author).
