Oxidative stability of lubricating oil
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: what are the specific measures that can be taken when the oxidation stability of lubricating oil decreases? Can it be done by removing internal oxidation products and using oxidizing agents? Does the level of oxidation stability depend mainly on antioxidants or base oil?
The oxidative stability of oils is closely related to the properties of the base oil used, the degree of refinement, the characteristics and quality of additives, compatibility, and the blending process.
For details, see “Methods to Improve the Oxidative Stability of Lubricant Base Oils”
What you mentioned mainly relates to the oxidation stability of base oils. What I want to know is what to do when the oxidation stability of the oil decreases during use. Also, if the type of oil remains constant, does that mean its oxidation stability is also fixed? Does it change during use due to the oxidation of the oil or the presence of impurities? Also, what is the principle behind adding additives to oils in order to improve their oxidation stability?
