This STP contains papers presented at the Symposium on Bench Testing of the Lubrication and Wear Properties of Industrial Fluids Used in Machinery Application held in Seattle, Washington in June, 2000. ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants and its Subcommittee D02.L0 on Industrial Lubricants sponsored the symposium.
The symposium’s objective was to provide a forum on the selection of bench tests and testing conditions to model lubrication and wear properties of fluids used in various industrial machines and components such as: compressors, pumps, chain drives, transmissions, bearings, and others. Bench tests are commonly used to evaluate the lubrication and wear properties of industrial fluids when used in various types of machinery. Unfortunately, bench tests are often used without any validation of the lubrication and wear properties obtained in the machinery being modeled. Such testing strategies are worse than no tests at all.
In some cases, custom-made equipment and test configurations have been developed to evaluate lubrication and wear of specific wear contacts in a particular machine. Therefore, there is a great need in the lubricants industry to address this long-standing and increasingly important problem. This book contains a collection of the papers addressing various aspects of bench tests selection, limitations, along with lubrication and wear simulations.
Specific topics addressed by papers in this collection include:
- gear and bearing material scuffing limits
- design of disk machines
- simulation of high-speed aerospace gears and rolling contact bearings
- assessment of commercial friction modifiers on anti-wear performance of steels
- friction power intensity
- energy pulse
- gear lubricant
- crankcase lubricant
- EHD lubrication
- failure of lubricated contacts
- limitations of bench testing for gear lubricants
- tribological behavior of lubricants and materials
- fire-resistant hydraulic fluids
- boundary friction coefficients in a mixed lubrication regime
- torque versus load curve
- fretting wear under oscillating normal force
- corrosive wear resistance for sliding parts in seawater
- reliability of bench test results
- water-glycol hydraulic fluid lubrication
- spiral orbit rolling contact tribometer
- deep drawing tests
