CONVERSION OF THE STRUCTURE OF GREASES AFTER TRIBOLOGICAL TESTS

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2013, Vol 248, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper presents the results of grease composition analysis when tribological tests are performed under constant load. The analysis was conducted by comparing the IR spectra of grease before and after tribological tests. The changes in the identified spectra characteristic of the greases were used to evaluate changes in the grease structures. The results showed that the anti-wear properties of lubricants tested are both a function of the quantitative contribution of additives and the oxidation products that are components of the grease.
