Lubricant Additives Chemistry and Applications

This text details the design of cost-effective, environmentally friendly lubricant additive technologies and components for the automotive, industrial, manufacturing, food, and aerospace industries. It reviews the different materials added to lubricants to improve their performance and presents methods to improve the performance and stability of lubricants, protect metal surfaces against wear, and to control deposits and contaminants such as wear debris, sludge, acids, and peroxides. The contributors assess long-term trends in the industry and list commonly used test methods, specifications, terms, and acronyms. The book contains a CD-ROM offering Internet resources for the lubricant industry.Rudnick, Leslie R. is the author of 'Lubricant Additives Chemistry and Applications' with ISBN 9780824708573 and ISBN 0824708571.
