Influence of Li Grease Thickener Types on Film Thicknesses Formed between Smooth and Dented Surfaces

The lubricant film thickness behaviors of lithium (Li) thickener type greases and their base oil were investigated for the contact between a glass disk and a smooth/dented steel ball using an optical interferometry. The main focus is to understand grease film behaviors including high speed history a...
