On the Necessary but Sufficient Amount of Grease to Obtain Fully Lubricated Fretting Regime in Moist Air for SUJ2 Bearing Steel against S15C Carbon Steel

Influence of the moist air humidity (10-70%) on the fretting characteristics of steels under grease lubrication is experimentally investigated. Ball (bearing steel, JIS SUJ2) on disk (carbon steel, JIS S15C) type fretting tests for 0-20 mg of grease supplied before each test at the punctual contact...
