Standard test method for wear life of solid film lubricants in oscillating motion

Journal Article · · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7014953

A method is described for determining the wear life properties of bonded solid lubricants in oscillating motion under specified test conditions. A coated steel ring oscillating against a steel test block is used to test the wear. The specimens are worn-in for 1 min at 30 lb normal load applications. The wear-in is followed by application of a normal load of 630 lb for the duration of the test. The friction and wear-testing machine is described in detail in the appendix.
