STUDY OF TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF VARIOUS LUBRICANTS IN CASTROL ALPHA SP 680 OIL

Abstract

Castrol ALPHA Sp 680 transmission grease, based on highly refined mineral oil, is used to lubricate gears in mechanisms. The presence in its composition of various functional groups and elements provides the required performance properties of this oil. Castrol Alpha SP 680 gear oil, along with lubricating properties, has high antioxidant and anti-foam properties. The disadvantage of the oil is that it has low corrosion and extreme pressure properties. Therefore, the goal of our research was to develop a universal high-quality gear oil based on multifunctional and high-quality additives that meets modern requirements. The article presents an analysis of the IHP-14M additive in Castrol Alpha SP 680 gear oil and the results of comparative tribological tests with foreign additives with the same functional properties.
