INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE BEARING MATERIALS AND LUBRICANTS ABOVE 1000 F

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837755
Screening tests are performed on bearing materials and lubricants in sliding contact at 1000 and 1600 deg F and in rolling contact at 700 and 1000 deg F. The materials having high performance in the screening tests are given journalbearing and rolling-ball tests, and the lubricants are given Shell 4-Ball and rotating cup sliding tests, in the vicinity of 1000 deg F. The tests determine the friction coefficients and wear rates for (metal or alloy) vs. (metal or alloy), (metal or alloy) vs. ceramic, and ceramic vs. ceramic pairs, using solid films and some molten salts and metals as lubricants.
