Examination of crankcase oils from high speed train (H.S.T.) engines - a comparison of spectrographic and ferrographic analysis (TM-LUB-001)

Mechanical wear is an inherent part of railway operations. Moving contact between metallic components of any mechanical system is always accompanied by wear, which results in the generation of metallic particulate matter. In a lubricated system these particles can be suspended in the oil. Analytical methods designed to quantify such...
