Synthetic diester base oils from wastes of electrochemical production of sebacic acid

The aim of this paper is to focus on the production of mixed‐synthetic diester base oils from the waste of electrochemical production of sebacic acid (mixtures of methyl esters of…

Regeneration of friction pairs in internal combustion engines by the metal cladding materials

The aim of this paper is to investigate the regularities and longevity of the recovering without takedown of the friction pairs in internal combustion engines using the lubricants…

Micropitting performance of mineral and biodegradable ester gear oils

This paper's aim is to present the gear micropitting performance of two industrial gear oils: a standard mineral lubricant (CM) containing a special micropitting additive package…

Performance of hydrodynamic lubrication journal bearing with a slippage surface

The aim of this paper is to propose a design idea for an infinite journal bearing with the optimized slip zone on the bearing sleeve surface.

Influence of lubricant type in gear scuffing

This paper aims to investigate the scuffing load‐carrying capacity of three gear oils: a standard mineral lubricant containing extreme pressure and anti‐wear additives (M0) and…

Analysis of effects of oil additive into friction coefficient variations on journal bearing using artificial neural network

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of a lubricant with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)‐based additive on the friction behaviour in a steadily loaded journal…

Synergistic lubricating effects of ZDDP with a heterocyclic compound

In response to a plea to eliminate zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) in engine oil, or at least reduce it to 0.05 per cent, unfortunately no new antiwear additives to reduce ZDDP…
