6、lding.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThe values of load carrying capacity ofa lubricating grease vary according to test method.3.1.2 scoring,in tribology,na severe form of wear char-acterized by the formation of extensive grooves and scratchesin the direction of sliding.3.1.2.1 DiscussionWhen the lubricant film
7、is substantiallymaintained,a smooth scar is obtained on the test block,butwhen there is a breakdown of the lubricant film,scoring orsurface failure of the test block takes place as shown in Fig.1.2In its simplest and recognized form,scoring is characterized bya wide scar on the test block and by the
8、 transfer of metal fromthe test block to the contacting surface of the test cup.The formof surface failure more usually encountered,however,consistsof a comparatively smooth scar,which shows local damagethat usually extends beyond the width of the scar.Scratches orstriations that occur in an otherwi
9、se smooth scar and that do notextend beyond the width of the scar are not considered scoringin this test method.The term scuffing is sometimes used as asynonym for scoring.3.1.3 seizure or welding,nlocalized fusion of rubbingmetal,usually indicated by streaks of transferred metal,in-creased friction

11、,at which no scoring orseizure occurs.3.2.2 score value,nthe minimum mass(weight)added tothe load lever mass(weight)pan,at which scoring or seizureoccurs.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The tester is operated with a steel test cup rotatingagainst a steel test block.The rotational speed is 800 6 5 r/min,
12、which is equivalent to a linear speed of 123.71 6 0.77 m/min(405.88 6 2.54 ft/min).Grease samples are brought to andapplied at 24 6 6C(75 6 10F).4.2 Two determinations are made:the minimum load(scorevalue)that will rupture the lubricant film being tested betweenthe rotating cup and the stationary bl
13、ock and cause adhesion;and the maximum load(OK value)at which the rotating cupwill not rupture the lubricant film and cause adhesion betweenthe rotating cup and the stationary block.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and
