Abstract
The effect of copper on the properties of mineral oil, polyglycol, aliphatic esters, and silicone fluids has been examined in relation to the case of self-lubricating bearings. The various oxidation mechanisms involved are considered, together with specific examples of the part which additives may play in the reduction of deposit formation, inhibition of oxidation, and prevention of copper corrosion.
