Spiral orbit tribometry friction tests performed on Ni-rich Ni55Ti45 titanium ball bearings indicate that this alloy is a promising candidate for future aerospace bearing applications. Microstructural characterization of the bearing specimens was per

Spiral orbit tribometry has been used to study the coefficient of friction and electrical contact resistance of two vacuum lubricants in both the flooded system and the regime in which only a few nanoliters (μ g) of the lubricant are present, and th

Many moving mechanical assemblies (MMAs) for space applications rely on a small, initial charge of lubricant for the entire mission lifetime, often in excess of five years. In many cases, the premature failure of a lubricated component can result in

The coefficients of friction and relative degradation rates of three lubricants run in the boundary regime in vacuum are evaluated in a Spiral Orbit Tribometer. This tribometer subjected the lubricants to rolling contact conditions similar to those f

A new rolling contact tribometer based on a planar thrust bearing geometry is described. The bearing 'races' are flat plates that drive a ball into a near-circular, spiral path. The spiraling ball is returned to its initial radius each revolution aro

Many of today's spacecraft have long mission lifetimes. Whatever the lubrication method selected, the initial lubricant charge is required to last the entire mission. Fluid lubricant losses are mainly due to evaporation, tribo-degradation, and oil cr

The x-ray spectrum from a dual anode x-ray source in an x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system was calculated by the NIST Desk Top Spectrum Analyzer used for synthesizing spectra in energy dispersive x-ray analyzers commonly found in scanning electr

A vacuum spiral orbit tribometer (SOT) was used to determine the relative lifetimes of a branched perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) on 440 C stainless steel. The effect of varying the mean Hertzian stress (0.75, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 GPa) and the use of TiC

The mid-IR bulk optical constants for the lubricants Fomblin, Demnum S200, 2001A and Krytox 16256N, as well as water, are determined by infrared ellipsometric analysis using an Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) cell. The water optical constants close

The NASA Ball on Plate Tribometer was built for the investigation of boundary lubricated rolling. Its contact conditions are easily calculated, and can be adjusted to match a range of real hearing applications for stress, surface velocity, pivot, and
