The load-carrying capacity of squalane and a solvent neutral oil has been investigated as a function of operating procedure by using radially loaded steel disks with combined rolling and sliding. Load-carrying capacity and accompanying critical temperatures are found to depend on the time-temperature-load-velocity history of the disks. Thus, no simple load-carrying criterion appears to exist even for comparatively “nonreactive” hydrocarbon lubricants.
