Summary: Those working with tribology often have a background in mechanical engineering, while people working with lubricant development have a chemistry/chemical engineering background. This means they have a tradition of approaching problems in different ways. Today's product development puts higher demands on timing and quality, requiring collaboration between people with different backgrounds. However, they can lack understanding of each other's challenges as well as a common language, and so this book aims to bridge the gap between these two areas. Lubricants: Introduction to Properties and Performance provides an easy to understand overview of tribology and lubricant chemistry. The first part of the book is theoretical and provides an introduction to tribological contact, friction, wear and lubrication, as well as the basic concepts regarding properties and the most commonly made analyses on lubricants. Base fluids and their properties and common additives used in lubricants are also covered. The second part of the book is hands-on and introduces the reader to the actual formulations and the evaluation of their performance. Different applications and their corresponding lubricant formulations are considered and tribological test methods are discussed. Finally used oil characterisation and surface characterisation are covered which give the reader an introduction to different methods of characterising used oils and surfaces, respectively. Key features: Combines chemistry and tribology of lubricants into one unified approach Covers the fundamental theory, describing lubricant properties as well as base fluids and additives Contains practical information on the formulations of lubricants and evaluates their performance Considers applications of lubricants in hydraulics, gears and combustion engines Lubricants: Introduction to Properties and PerformanceSummary: Intro -- Lubricants -- Contents -- Preface -- List of Symbols -- List of Tables -- Part 1 Lubricant Properties -- 1 Introduction to Tribology -- 1.1 Tribological Contacts -- 1.1.1 Macroscale Contacts -- 1.1.2 Microscale Contacts -- 1.2 Friction -- 1.2.1 The Coefficient of Friction -- 1.2.2 Lubrication Regimes -- 1.3 Wear -- 1.3.1 Wear Rate -- 1.4 Lubrication of the Tribological System -- 1.4.1 The Purposes of Lubricants -- 1.4.2 Reducing Friction and Protecting against Wear -- 1.4.3 Semi-Solid Lubricants -- 1.4.4 Solid Lubricants and Dry Lubricants -- References -- 2 Lubricant Properties -- 2.1 Performance Properties -- 2.1.1 Viscosity -- 2.1.2 Low and High Temperature Properties of Lubricants -- 2.1.3 Air and Water Entrainment Properties -- 2.1.4 Thermal Properties -- 2.2 Long Life Properties -- 2.2.1 Total Acid Number (TAN) -- 2.2.2 Total Base Number (TBN) -- 2.2.3 Oxidation Stability -- 2.2.4 Hydrolytic Stability -- 2.2.5 Corrosion Inhibition Properties -- 2.3 Environmental Properties -- 2.3.1 Environmentally Adapted Lubricants -- 2.3.2 Market Products with a Reduced Environmental Impact -- 2.4 Summary of Analyses -- References -- 3 Base Fluids -- 3.1 General Hydrocarbon Chemistry -- 3.2 Base Fluid Categorization -- 3.3 The Refining Process of Crude Oils -- 3.3.1 The Refining Process -- 3.3.2 Influence of the Refining Process on the Oil Properties -- 3.4 Base Fluids Originating from Crude Oil -- 3.4.1 Paraffinic Base Oils -- 3.4.2 Naphthenic Base Oils -- 3.4.3 White Oils -- 3.4.4 Very High Viscosity Index Base Oils -- 3.4.5 Polyalphaolefins -- 3.4.6 Gas-to-Liquid Base Fluids -- 3.4.7 Re-Refined Base Oils -- 3.5 Base Fluids Originating from Renewable Raw Materials -- 3.5.1 Vegetable Oils (Natural Esters) -- 3.5.2 Synthetic Esters -- 3.6 Nonconventional Synthetic Base Fluids -- 3.7 Properties of Base Fluids -- References -- 4 Additives.PPN: PPN: 1657676919Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
