ATTEMPT AT ENHANCING ANTI-SEIZING PROPERTIES OF MACHINE GREASE 2
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2012, Vol 243, Issue 3
Abstract
The anti-seizing properties of Machine Grease 2 are too poor to ensure the proper lubrication of rolling bearings. This is confirmed by research publications and the results of the author’s tests carried out using the four-ball EP tester. In order to enhance the anti-seizing properties of Machine Grease 2, a mixture of copper oxide, glycerine, and ethyl alcohol was introduced into its volume. The aim of the tests was to find out if, under high pressures, variable stresses and short-duration temperatures in the contact region cause the copper oxide to be reduced to metallic copper functioning as grease. The tests in the four-ball EP tester were carried out in three consecutive series, each lasting 60 seconds. The pressure remained constant and amounted to 1472 N. After the tests, the limit of the seizure load G0Z was calculated. Index G0Z was found to be considerably higher for lubricants containing the above additives, amounting to 529 mm2 N and 900–1736 mm2 N for Machine Grease 2 and lubricating compositions containing the mixture of copper oxide, glycerine and ethyl alcohol, respectively. Due to the presence a metallic copper film on the contact path, seizure resistance Pt increased three to even four times in comparison with this index for Machine Grease 2.
