Abstract

This paper is concerned with the study of grease reaction by tribological stress. To observe the change of the viscoelastic properties by shearing the grease, rheometer tests were done. In addition to the flow behaviour, we investigated the friction process by using some tribometer. The tribological characteristics of the lubricant are determined with the help of energetic parameters. The interpretation of the results shows a correlation between viscoelastic properties and friction behaviour and an interesting dependence of storage modulus and shear stress. The results are considered to be useful information on the tribology of greases.
