• The following test procedure was followed as per ASTM standard G133 – 05

1. Specimens on which experiments were carried out (e.g. plate & ball) were cleaned thoroughly using acetone and ultrasonic cleaning machine. The samples were dried by using hot air.

2. The sample bath was cleaned using acetone & was dried with hot air.3. The specimens were cleaned after they were secured in place in the test fixture by

wiping with acetone and then with lint free tissue paper. 4. The ball specimen was gently lowered upon the flat specimen & it was also

ensured that the reciprocating drive shaft motion was horizontal & parallel to the surface of flat specimen.

5. The test load was applied. It was confirmed that the desired oscillating speed had been set before starting the test

• Measurement and Calculation of Wear:1. Wear measurement of ball specimen:

• Owing to the nature of this type of test, the wear on ball specimen may not be circular or flat always therefore refer the following which applies.

• If the ball appears flat but not circular, the average of the maximum and minimum dimensions of the scar is taken as effective ball scar diameter (D).

• Pin scar measurement may be made by removing the ball specimen holder and placing the wear scar portion under the microscope. A calibrated ocular or a photo-micrograph of known magnification may be used to measure scar dimensions.

As per ASTM G99-05(2010) Volume loss of Ball in mm3 is calculated using following formula

Where Vb= Wear volume for ball scar of diameter D in mm3

D = Ball scar diameter in mmR = Ball radius in mm

Note: This is an approximate geometric relation that is correct to 1 % for (wear scar diameter/ball radius) <0.3, and is correct to 5 % for (wear scar diameter/ball radius) <0.7. The exact equation is as given below.

Volume loss of ball (Vb) is given by,

WhereD = Wear scar diameter R = Radius of Ball

Wear rate of ball is calculated using following formula.

Where k = Wear rate of ball in mm3/Newton. MeterVb = Wear volume for ball scar of diameter D in mm3

P = Load in NL = Sliding Distance in mm

2. Wear of Flat specimen:

Wear of Flat specimen is calculated using following formula

Where, w = width of wear scar in mmd = depth of wear scar in mml = length of wear scar in mm

4. Conclusion and Future Scope5. Tribological Evaluation• The tribological evaluation for qualifying hydraulic Oil-A and Oil-B has been done on sliding

friction and wear machine TE-70. Friction and wear were the major candidate for qualifying the oils.

• As discussed in previous chapter, the friction characteristics of the two oils are almost same. The stribeck curve shows that both Oil-A and Oil-B have similar operating conditions in hydrodynamic regime.

• The wear characteristics shows that the wear rate of ball and plate under Oil-A lubrication is high as compared to Oil-B but the order of wear rate is very low for both oils and is of order 10-7, which is condition of mild wear. Hence it can be acceptable.

• Based on tribological experiment it can be concluded that both hydraulic oils are similar in tribological behaviour, Oil-A has the advantage of being fire resistant. There for Oil-B can be replaced by Oil-A if there is chances of fire hazard or the operating temperature is high.

2. Radiation Resistant • There is approx. 5.92% decrease in the density of the ENKLO – 68 and 6.02% decrease in the

density of the POE – 68 from 15 to 100 °C

• The density of both ENKLO-68 and POE-68 oil has been found to be resistive to radiation levels up to 300 MRad for same temperature as the radiation level increases Density is not much affected.

• The viscosity of the ENKLO-68 has been found to be more resistive to radiation levels and is affected by 12-13% only where as POE-68 oil has been found to be less resistive and is affected by 50-60% for same temperature.

• It is found that the percentage change in viscosity for both oil samples is higher in lower temperature range as compared to that in higher temperature range with respect to un-irradiated fresh oil sample.

• The viscosity index of the ENKLO-68 oil has not improved because of radiation and remains constant, where as VI of POE-68 oil has improved.

• The appearance of hydraulic oil ENKLO-68 has changed after exposure to Gamma radiation, where as the appearance of hydraulic oil POE-68 Remains unchanged.

• Analysis of Total Acid Number (TAN) and Total Base Number (TBN) may give the change in acidic or basic content in the oil. This may be helpful to decide the effect of irradiated oil on the components of hydraulic system.

• Based on above discussion it is concluded that up to 50 MRad radiation level Oil-A can be used as hydraulic fluid in replacement of Oil-B in nuclear industry when the operating temperature is high.

Future Scope• The test procedure discussed in this report for sliding friction and wear measurement can be

used for general purpose friction and wear test under lubricated or dry condition.• The data available in this report can be used for selection of hydraulic oils for other

applications also.• The properties of hydraulic oils will required to be evaluated at more radiation levels, for this

purpose it is planned to irradiate hydraulic oils at 5, 25, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600 MRad radiation levels.

• The appearance of oil is not a major concern in this report but in future the oil has to be further analysed for presence of oxidation compounds using TAN and Oxidation Stability test.

• Change-over of a system from one hydraulic oil to another can create problems unless consideration is given to circuit and component design.

• For this purpose, a Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid Test Facility (FRHTF) will be developed by RTD at Engineering Hall – 3. In this facility hydraulic performance, compatibility with existing hydraulic components, and high temperature operability will be tested by evaluating the changes in properties of the hydraulic oils after being used in this facility test setups.

• The test facility will be designed to be operated without any operator.• A man machine interface (MMI) will be required to design to run this test facility 24x7

without any operator assistance.
