Radiotracer Study of Piston Rings and Cylinder Liner Wear in a Diesel Engine. R. B. Price, D. N. Sunderman, A. W. Carey Jr., W. S. Diethorn and N. J. Beck. Lubrication Eng., 18 (2) (1961) 56-63; IO figs., 2 tables, 7 refs. A radiotracer study of wear in an eightcylinder diesel engine is discussed. Wear is determined by measuring continuously the radioactive wear debris circulated in the engine oil. The wear debris is tagged with radioactive iron-59 and chromium-5r by ir-

radiating selected engine parts in a nuclear reactor. Wear results are reported for piston rings and cylinder liner over a range of engine load, speed, and cooling water temperature. Break-in, steady-state, and transient wear rates are determined. Top and bottom face in addition to front face ring wear was observed. Wear debris was monitored in the exhaust gas as well as in the lubricating oil. The most significant relation developed was the V-shape pattern of ring wear rate plotted I)~YSUS engine speed.

MACHINING

An Experimental Investigation of Temperature Distribution at Tool-Flank Surface. B. T. Chao, H. L. Li and K. J. Trigger. J. Eng. for Industry (ASME Trans., Ser. B) , 83 (4) (1961)

The measurement of temperature distribution at the flank surface of a cutting tool is characterized by the extremely small extent of the surface over which the temperature field is explored. This paper describes a technique which makes use of a moving lead-sulfide, photoconductive, infrared radiation detector. The surface in question is quickly scanned by the detector’s view field. For the level of temperature encountered, data are reprodu-
