Determination of characteristic values for lubricants that are suitable for use where high surface pressures occur in the mixed-friction zone between surfaces that move relatively to each other. The test makes use of a rotating ball, pressed against three identical, stationary balls. Measurements can be made based on the force required to produce welding between the balls (welding load), or on the amount of wear on the balls after application of a defined force over a specific time. |
