Engine wear protection

Synthetic oils By using Table 2.7, Performance of synthetic and mineral lubricant oils , consider the benefits of using synthetic engine oils in several main aspects of (a) engine wear protection, (b) improved fuel and oil economy and (c) environmental protection. Which of the synthetic oils phosphate esters or alkylated aromatics (PAO) are the most common synthetic fluids used in automotive motor oils today ...

Old and new plants alike must meet OSHA standards. For many older plants this may mean a major revamping of the facilities. Sometimes, when engineering design cannot meet the standards, the employees may be required to wear protective clothing, ear plugs, or other items. 

A field test was conducted to evaluate the valve train wear in a 2.3 L OHC (over-head cam) engine with new technology crankcase lubricants these oils also passed the V-D test (Haris and Zakalka, 1983). Oils formulated with secondary alkyl zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) wear inhibitor provided significantly better wear protection than two different primary alkyl ZDDPs. Secondary alkyl ZDDP demonstrated good wear protection at a phosphorus content as low as 0.07 (wt%). 

Figure 3.17 shows how high temperature affects the anti-wear protection of a passenger car engine oil formulation with a secondary ZDDP and with one based on primary ZDDP. The superior initial wear protection of the secondary ZDDP is destroyed much more quickly than that of the primary ZDDP oil. Blends of the two ZDDPs gave good initial wear protection and good sustained wear protection. 

SM for all automotive engines currently in use, introduced 2004, for improved oxidation resistance, improved deposit protection, better wear protection and better low-temperature performance of the service life of the lubricant. Some SM formulations may meet the latest ILSAC specification as Energy Conserving . ... 

The domino theory of injuries listed five steps that lead to injury. In was first the environmental and social climate and ancestry that allowed the second step of human error to develop. This error in turn led to unsafe acts or mechanical and physical hazards. These acts or hazards then allowed an accident to occur, and then some accidents produced injury. Undesirable human traits such as nervousness were either inherited or created and exacerbated by their environment. These traits created human faults that then allowed unsafe acts such as not wearing protective gloves, or even engineered oversight of the need for machine guarding (Heinrich et al., 1980). Dr. Haddon was removing the fifth step of injury occurrence. Today s efforts of ergonomic control also attempt to remove the possibility of an error as well.

Eunctional or hard chromium plating (169,175) is a successfljl way of protecting a variety of industrial devices from wear and friction. The most important examples are cylinder liners and piston rings for internal combustion engines. Eunctional chromium deposits must be appHed to hard substrates, such as steel, and are appHed in a wide variety of thicknesses ranging from 2.5 to 500 ]Am. 

SD Service typical of 1967-1970 petrol engines in cars and some trucks but it may apply to later models. Oils designed for this service provide more protection than SC against high- and low-temperature deposits, wear, rust and corrosion and may be used where SC is recommended. 

SF Service typical of petrol engines in cars and some trucks from 1980. Oils developed for this service provide better oxidation stability and anti-wear performance than SE oils. They also provide protection against engine deposits, rust and corrosion. Oils meeting SF may be used wherever SE, SD or SC is recommended. 

The main function of most lubricants is to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces and to abstract heat. They also have to remove debris from the contact area, e.g. combustion products in an engine cylinder, swarf in metal-cutting operations. Sometimes they have to protect the lubricated or adjacent parts against corrosion, but this is not a prime function of most lubricants. On the other hand, many lubricants do contain corrosion inhibitors and some lubricating oils, greases, mineral fluids and compounds are specially formulated to prevent the corrosion of machinery or machine parts, particularly when these components are in storage or transit. These temporary protectives are described in Section 17.3.
