INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LUBRICANT AND STEEL SUBSTRATE – A CONCEPTUAL METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2017, Vol 271, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper demonstrates the methods for the analysis of the interaction between lubricant and steel substrate and presents the obtained results. The samples to be tested were commercially available greases as well as greases developed for the purpose of this research, containing a known amount of adhesion additives. Due to the lack of normalized methods, the authors applied indirect methods based on the analysis of the peel resistance and the resistance to variable shearing rates. The obtained results reveal that there is a possibility to apply the proposed methods for the comparative assessment of interactions between the grease and steel substrate.
