While doing a search on grease thickener fibers I came across this paper(PDF) that was accepted by the Journal of Engineering Tribology Analysis of Grease of Rolling BearingsUsing acoustic Emission Measurement I've got to take off for work but what I got to read is exellent. getting into...

I never quite figured out why the sexual urges of men and women differ so much. And I never figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women think with their heart. I have never figured out why the sexual desire gene gets thrown into a...

Extreme Pressure Additives in Automotive Lubricants

Every year at the plant I'm at we get a $200 tool allowance to put toward the purchase or replacement for tools,this year I'm looking into getting a 40" wide tool chest.It will either be a Craftsman or Kobalt.I know Craftsman is pretty decent and that's what all the other mechanics have but what...

While doing a search for something last night I found these, a 10 PDF series on basic tribology from STLE STLE Basic Tribology PDF's

What (API or ACEA)test do they use to determine how well a motor oil will hold up in a turbo charged engine, When they state on the bottle turbo approved are they basing this on a standard test or is it mostly marketing. Thanks

Here's an excerpt from the book The Rheology of Grease from the ELGI.What I found interesting was this statment " The most commonly presented idea of how lubrication occurs in a contact is that the soap structure acts like a sponge, keeping the oil loosely bonded by weak forces, and letting the...

When the mixing of two incompatable greases occur,the mixture usually thins and runs which I have seen at the plant,thickening can also occur.Question,What reaction occurs between two incompatable thickeners to cause this to happen is it the equivelant of desaponification for lack of a better word.

Testing done by Progressive Oil Sample Testing,(A service of Titan Laboratories) kit purchased at NAPA. Car previously ran Motorcraft 5w20,changed every 3000mi, was purged with Neutra before running Schaeffer's.Car is usually driven 30 mi. daily back and forth to work,some town mostly highway...

I pretty much understand polarity of molecules and solvency,but what reaction takes place for a PAO to shrink a seal and an ester to condition or soften a seal back up, or what causes incompatabilty between seal material and affluent's for that matter??
