EFFECTS OF REACTOR RADIATION ON CERAMIC-BONDED SOLID-FILM LUBRICANTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4624321
BS>Two solid-film lubricant formulations (PbS + MoS/sub 2/ + B/sub 2/O/ sub 3/ and MoS/sub 2/ + graphite + sodium silicate) were exposed to reactor radiation and tested for wear life on a Hohman A-6 wear tester. Substrate material was Inconel X, rub shoes were of Rex AAA, load per shoe was 110 lb, and sliding speed was 128 ft/min. Several test temperatures up to 1200 deg F were employed. ft was concluded that a gamma dose of 1.47 x 10/sup 11/ ergs/gm(C) and a neutron flux of 2.85 x 10 /sup 6/n/cm/sup 2/ (E> 2.9 Mev) had no significant effect on the wear life of these films.
