Abstract

The effect of the oil anti-wear additive tricresyl phosphate (TCP) on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life of advanced bearing steels—AISI VIMVAR M50, CSS 42L, Pyrowear 675, and Cronidur 30 was investigated with silicon nitride balls at 177 °C and at a maximum Hertzian stress of 5.5 GPa. TCP at 1% additive concentration was blended into a synthetic polyol ester turbine engine lubricant basestock having a nominal viscosity of 3 cSt at 100 °C. Additionally, the basestock was fortified with the anti-oxidants dioctyl-diphenyl amine (DODPA) and phenyl-α-napthyl amine (PANA) at 1% concentration each. The presence of TCP has a measurable positive effect on RCF life and wear. Also, all the advanced bearing materials exhibited superior fatigue life compared to conventional bearing steel M50, both with and without TCP. The study indicates that current gas turbine lubricant formulations with TCP have positive effects on fatigue life and wear performance of M50, Pyrowear 675, CSS 42L, and Cronidur 30.
