On the Relation between Friction Increase and Grease Thickener Entraining on a Border of Mixed EHL Lubrication

This paper deals with an experimental study of film thickness and friction of commercial-grade grease and its base oil in a highly loaded contact. In-situ measurements were conducted for two surface textures on a ball-on-disc optical tribometer at the border of mixed lubrication. At high speeds, the...
