SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES:
Prepared for Seminar F-107 at the 1985 International Trade Fair, Cleveland, Ohio, October 18, 1985. This report is a compilation of papers presented at other meetings and published elsewhere.

ABSTRACT:
This is a compilation of papers on the subjects of lubricants and lubricated components. The first paper addresses the fundamentals of tribology (the study of adhesion, friction, and wear). This is followed by a survey of the technology and science of boundary lubrication with liquid lubricants; another paper describes materials and methods used in solid lubrication practice. Conventional solid lubricants such as graphite and molybdenum disulfide are described, followed by a discussion of novel solid lubricants for very high temperature applications. In addition, there are three papers on the subject of lubricated mechanical components. The scope of these papers includes the lubrication and design of high speed rolling element bearings, high speed gears, and traction drives.

SUBJECT TERMS:
Tribology fundamentals; Boundary lubrication; Solid lubrication;
Rolling element bearings; Gears; Traction drives
