GREASES FOR ROLLER BEARINGS. TEST METHODS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF GREASES FOR ROLLER BEARING AXLE BOXES

This report which is the final report describes the procedure recommended by the Committee for dealing with the problem of selecting greases for roller bearings. It also contains recommendations for ensuring that after approval characteristics. Partial oxidation can occur when the external surfaces of wheels or rails are deformed because the materials come into contact with the surrounding atmosphere. Oxidised metallic particles are then worn away. Wear is often effected by the characteristics of the process itself or by layers of martensite which are produced by shoe brakes.
