A smaller decrease in viscosity (for example, 8% or less) means a higher shear stability in the test.
- Frequency: 10 kHz
- Amplitude: 28 μM
- Exposure time: 1 hour
- [Coefficient of Friction Test]
- The coefficients of friction between metals were evaluated under the following conditions by using an LFW-1 testing machine. A smaller coefficient of friction between metals (for example, 0.15 or less) means a better friction characteristic.
- Specimen: block H60, ring S10
- Load: 3113 N
- Sliding velocity: 0.5 m/s
- Oil temperature: 90° C.
