In Situ Observation of Transient Responses in Grease Lubrication by Micro Infrared Spectroscopy

In situ observation of lubricant films formed with greases was carried out at EHL conditions with a micro-FTIR. Three urea compounds were used as a thickener and 12 mass percent of the thickener was added in PAO, respectively. From the IR spectra, CH and NH stretching vibration peaks were observed f...
