    The effects of metals and inhibitors on thermal oxidative degradation reactions of unbranched perfluoroalkyl ethers (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Thermal oxidative degradation studies were performed on unbranched perfluoroalkylethers at 288 C in oxygen. Metals and alloys studied included Ti, Al, and Ti (4 Al, 4 Mn). The mechanism of degradation was by chain scission. Ti and Al promoted less degradation than Ti (4 Al, 4 Mn). The two inhibitors investigated (a perfluorophenyl phosphine and a phosphatriazine) reduced degradation rates by several orders of magnitude. Both inhibitors were effective for the same duration (75 to 100 hours). The phosphatriazine appeared to provide more surface protection.

    Thermal oxidative degradation reactions of linear perfluoroalkyl ethers (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Thermal and thermal oxidative stability studies were performed on linear perfluoroalkyl ether fluids. The effect on degradation by metal catalysts and degradation inhibitors is reported. The linear perfluoroalkyl ethers are inherently unstable at 316 C in an oxidizing atmosphere. The metal catalysts greatly increased the rate of degradation in oxidizing atmospheres. In the presence of these metals in an oxidizing atmosphere, the degradation inhibitors were highly effective in arresting degradation at 288 C. However, the inhibitors had only limited effectiveness at 316 C. The metals promote degradation by chain scission. Based on elemental analysis and oxygen consumption data, the linear perfluoroalkyl ether fluids have a structural arrangement based on difluoroformyl and tetrafluoroethylene oxide units, with the former predominating.

    Contact angle and surface tension measurements of a five-ring polyphenyl ether (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Contact angle measurements were performed for a five-ring polyphenyl ether isomeric mixture on M-50 steel in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. Two different techniques were used: (1) a tilting plate apparatus, and (2) a sessile drop apparatus. Measurements were made for the temperature range 25 to 190 C. Surface tension was measured by a differential maximum bubble pressure technique over the range 23 to 220 C in room air. The critical surface energy of spreading (gamma /sub c/) was determined for the polyphenyl ether by plotting the cosine of the contact angle (theta) versus the surface tension (gamma /sub LV/). The straight line intercept at cosine theta = 1 is defined as gamma (sub c). Gamma (sub c) was found to be 30.1 dyn/cm for the tilting plate technique and 31.3 dyn/cm for the sessile drop technique. These results indicate that the polyphenyl ether is inherently autophobic (i.e., it will not spread on its own surface film until its surface tension is less than gamma /sub c/). This phenomenon is discussed in light of the wettability and wear problems encountered with this fluid.

    Spherical artifacts on ferrograms (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: In the past, hollow spheres detected on ferrograms have been interpreted as being due to fretting, abrasion, cavitation erosion, and fatigue-related processes. Here it is reported that such spheres were found to result from the fact that a routine grinding operation on a steel plate was carried out about 20 feet away from the ferrograph. A similar grinding operation was performed on a piece of low carbon steel a few feet from the ferrograph, and after a few minutes of grinding, the resulting ferrogram contained thousands of particles of which more than 90% were spherical. Because of the widespread occurrence of ordinary grinding operations, it seems prudent that those utilizing the ferrograph be cognizant of this type of artifact.

    Ferrographic and spectrometer oil analysis from a failed gas turbine engine (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: An experimental gas turbine engine was destroyed as a result of the combustion of its titanium components. It was concluded that a severe surge may have caused interference between rotating and stationary compressor parts that either directly or indirectly ignited the titanium components. Several engine oil samples (before and after the failure) were analyzed with a Ferrograph, and with plasma, atomic absorption, and emission spectrometers to see if this information would aid in the engine failure diagnosis. The analyses indicated that a lubrication system failure was not a causative factor in the engine failure. Neither an abnormal wear mechanism nor a high level of wear debris was detected in the engine oil sample taken just prior to the test in which the failure occurred. However, low concentrations (0.2 to 0.5 ppm) of titanium were evident in this sample and samples taken earlier. After the failure, higher titanium concentrations (2 ppm) were detected in oil samples taken from different engine locations. Ferrographic analysis indicated that most of the titanium was contained in spherical metallic debris after the failure. The oil analyses eliminated a lubrication system bearing or shaft seal failure as the cause of the engine failure. Previously announced in STAR as N83-12433

    The effect of oxygen concentration on the boundary-lubricating characteristics of a C ether and a polyphenyl ether to 300 C (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Ball-on-disk sliding friction experiments were carried out at 17 m/min (100 rev/min) to investigate the effect of oxygen concentration varying from 20% (air) to 0.001% (nitrogen) on the boundary-lubricating characteristics of an unformulated C ether in the temperature range 20-300 C. Results were then compared with those obtained for a five-ring polyphenylether in air and in nitrogen. The C ether yielded lower wear and lower friction coefficients than a five-ring polyphenylether in both air and nitrogen over most of the temperature range. Friction polymer was observed around the wear scars of most test specimens, with much greater quantities of friction polymer produced in a low-oxygen environment. Thus, with respect to friction polymer production, the C ether behaved very much like the polyphenylether.

    Tribological characteristics of nitrogen (N+) implanted iron (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The effect of implantation of nitrogen ions (1.5 MeV) on the friction and wear characteristics of pure ion sliding against M-50 steel (unimplanted) was studied in a pin-on-disk sliding friction apparatus. Test conditions included room temperature (25 C), a dry air atmosphere, a load of 1/2 kg (4.9 N), sliding velocities of 0.043 to 0.078 m/sec (15 to 25 rpm), a pure hydrocarbon lubricant (n-hexadecane), or a U.S.P. mineral oil and nitrogen ion implantation doses of 5x10 to the 15th power and 5x10 to the 17th power ions/sq cm. No differences in wear rates were observed in the low dose experiments. In the high dose experiments, small reductions in initial (40 percent) and steady state (20 percent) wear rates were observed for nitrogen implanted iron riders as compared with unimplanted controls. No differences in average friction coefficients were noted for either dose. Auger electron spectroscopy combined with argon ion bombardment revealed a subsurface Gaussian nitrogen distribution with a maximum concentration of 6 atomic percent at a depth of 0.8 microns. Similar analysis within the wear scar of an implanted rider after 20 microns of wear yielded only background nitrogen concentration. No inward migration of nitrogen ions was observed.

    Analysis of a spacecraft instrument ball bearing assembly lubricated by a perfluoroalkylether (1986)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An analysis of a spacecraft instrument ball bearing assembly, subjected to a scanning life test, was performed to determine the possible case of rotational problems involving these units aboard several satellites. The analysis indicated an ineffective transfer of a fluorinated liquid lubricant from a phenolic retainer to the bearing balls. Part of the analysis led to a novel HPLC separation method employing a fluorinated mobile phase in conjunction with silica based size exclusion columns.

    Optical and other properties changes of M-50 bearing steel surfaces for different lubricants and additives prior to scuffing (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An ester lubricant base oil containing one or more standard additives to protect against wear, corrosion, and oxidation was used in an experimental ball/plate elastohydrodynamic contact under load and speed conditions such as to induce scuffing failure in short times. Both the ball and the plate were of identically treated M-50 steel. After various periods of operating time the wear track on the plate was examined with an interference microscope of plus or minus 30 A depth resolution and sometimes also with a scanning ellipsometer and an Auger spectrometer. The optically deduced surface profiles varied with wavelength, indicating the presence of surface coatings, which were confirmed by the other instruments. As scuffing was approached, a thin (approximately A) oxide layer and a carbide layer formed in the wear track in particular when tricresylphosphate antiwear additive was present in the lubricant. The rates of the formation of these layers and their reactivity toward dilute alcoholic HCl depended strongly on the lubricant and additives. Based on these results suggestions for improved formulations and a test method for bearing reliability could be proposed.
