LITERATURE AND CURRENT EVENTS Experimental Study of Spline Wear and Lubrication Effects. W. D. Weatherford, Jr., M. L. Valtierra and P. M. Ku, ASLE Trans., 9 (1966) 171-178. The development of a laboratory method for simulating the wear experienced by misaligned splines is described, and typical experimental data are presented. The experimental program involves the use of matched spline specimens subjected to relative oscillatory motion simulating angular misalignment, under the influence of an applied torque. The test specimens are maintained at 250”F, either with or without lubrication, in the presence of dry air, most air, JP-5 fuel, or JP-6 fuel. The extent of spline wear is quantitatively monitored on a continuous basis. The experimental results obtained with above environments and seven different greases reveal significantly different wear mitigation characteristics for the various greases. Moreover, the influences of the spline environments differ for the different greases. 6. MEASUREMENTS

The design of wear-testing machines should follow five fundamental principles. Some currently used bench tests (4-ball, Bartel I. F. E., TIMKEN-Disc, Pin-and-disc) are examined in the light of these principles.

409 alignment, surface tension, bulk modulus of the glass capillary, density of the pressurizing gas, and solubility at the gas-liquid interface are discussed. Internal repeatability, as well as correlation with the ASME pressure-viscosity project, falling-ball viscometer, is shown. Viscosity-pressure data for several fluids and the effect of dissolved gas on the pressure-viscosity properties are demonstrated. Measurement of Metallic Film Densities by an Optical Technique. A. R.

A radiometric procedure for detecting fluid leakage between the differential and automatic transmission sections of a transaxle has been developed. Measurements of radioactivity in samples of automatic transmission fluid provide a direct indication of the amount of gear lubricant contaminant present. 7. METAL

The subject matter presented in six lectures included nonmetallic inorganic materials, organic materials, electronic materials, metals and alloys. Although not directly related to problems of friction and wear some of the results, e.g. on the change in hardness and more general plastic properties, are of interest to wear technologists. New materials formed by high-pressure reactions may one day find application in friction couples. Wear, 9 (1966) 409-414
