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 Performance is a comprehensive
reference for industry practitioners (tribologists, lubricant
technicians, and lubricant chemists, etc) and is also an excellent
source of information for graduate and undergraduate students.
