• Electrochemical and Mechanical Changes on Fatigue Corrosion Damaged Surfaces 

      Băicean, Svetlana; Palaghian, Liviu; Ciortan, Sorin; Thompson, Mioara (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The paper presents some surfaces changes aspects in fatigue corrosion damage based on electrochemical, mechanical profilometry and microscopically analyze of cylindrical and plate steel specimens. The researches have ...
    • Influence of Shear Stability on Oils Behaviour 

      Ciortan, Sorin; Rîpă, Minodora; Chiculiță, Simona (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The paper presents a method to establish a link between the shear stability index and service behaviour of motor oils. A standardized method for shearing stability establishing is combined with appropriated curve fitting ...
    • Shear Stability as Oils’ Performance Indicator 

      Ciortan, Sorin; Rîpă, Minodora; Chiculiță, Simona; Spânu, Constantin (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The paper presents a comparative analysis between the shear stability tests results and four ball tests results for some industrial oils. This correlation is used for establishing the way how the mechanical solicitations ...
    • Study of Wear Evolution for a Hydraulic Oil Using a Four Ball Tester 

      Spânu, Constantin; Rîpă, Minodora; Ciortan, Sorin (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      Time is crucial for the wear of materials. Time of an experiment must be long enough to obtain an observable wear but no so long to make the experiments expensive. For determining anti-wear properties of the hydraulic oils ...
