The mechanism of grease replenishment in and around a starved point contact was studied in this work. Greases made of different thickeners and same base oil were tested and compared. Disappearing and re-formation of a dynamic grease reservoir during operation revealed that grease bled oil to replenish contact. However, the replenishment process was slow because of the presence of grease fingers along...
Starved film thickness measurements are presented in grease-lubricated point contact under pure rolling condition. The starvation process of different types of greases is recorded and analysed in detail. Results show that the film decay rates for lithium greases and SiO2 greases are quite similar regardless of the rolling speed. Urea grease shows strong adsorbability to the metal surface, which can...
The film formation mechanism of lithium complex grease under starved condition was proposed based on the analysis of the relationship between grease reservoir and the finger-shaped lubricant along the rolling track using a laboratory built ball-on-disc test rig. Film thicknesses with rolling time at different slide/roll ratios were measured and discussed in detail. Experimental results showed that...
