Tribo-evaluation of high temperature candidate fluids in a sliding 'TBOD' bench tester
Abstract
A three-ball-on-disk (TBOD) bench technique was employed to evaluate and rank five high temperature liquid lubricants. The TBOD test method is capable of generating an integrated set of tribo-measurements including friction, wear, lubricant consumption, lubricant tribochemistry, etc. Experimental results of the test lubricants are also used to elucidate the events of lubricant degradation occurring both inside and outside the dynamic sliding junctions.
