A Methodological Approach to Assessing the Tribological Properties of Lubricants Using a Four-Ball Tribometer

Based on the analysis of standards for the testing of lubricants, both liquid and plastic, on a four-ball tribometer, and the analysis of the parameters by which lubricants are evaluated, this paper proposes a methodology and an integral parameter for the estimation of tribological properties. The m...
