On measuring the oxidation induction time and Arrhenius temperature for grease lubricated bearings
Chemical degradation of grease in ball bearings is caused by oxidation, which occurs as antioxidants are depleted. The point at which this happens is called the induction time. In this study, we examined the oxidation induction time of several high-quality commercial greases using thermogravimetric analysis with an isoconversional Friedman method. By deriving kinetic parameters at critical conversion points, we demonstrated that these parameters could predict the impact of temperature on grease life under very low load conditions. Our modeling approach successfully replicated the characteristic Arrhenius behavior observed in grease life tests supporting its utility as a predictive tool for grease life and the optimization of grease formulation.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
