ASTM D2510 Adhesion of Solid Film Lubricants
Solid film lubricants are attractive for use on difficult- to-access gears, fasteners, bearings and CV joints because they do not require frequent re-lubrication,. In cases where fluids may come in contact with the solid film-lubricated metal, the lubricant must continue to adhere, or it may become ineffective and put the machinery at risk of failure. This test determines the ability of solid film lubricants to adhere to metal surfaces in the presence of water and other fluids.
Test panels are cleaned, coated with the dry film lubricant and cured. The panels are half immersed in the test fluid at the test temperature for the test time and then removed and rinsed. The coating adherence is checked by placing masking tape on the panel covering areas above and below the immersion line, as well as the interface, and removing the tape abruptly. The panel is visually inspected. If no lubricant is removed, the panel is reported as a pass, if lubricant is removed, it is reported as a fail. Please specify the test temperature.
