Consistency-dependent optical properties of lubricating grease studied by terahertz spectroscopy

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/1/010703

Abstract The optical properties of four kinds of lubricating greases (urea, lithium, extreme pressure lithium, molybdenum disulfide lithium greases) with different NLGL (National Lubricant Grease Institute of America) numbers were investigated using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Greases with different NLGL grades have unique spectral features in the terahertz range. Comparison of the experimental data with predictions based on Lorentz–Lorenz theory exhibited that the refractive indices of each kind of lubricating grease were dependent on the their consistency. In addition, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as a libricant additive shows strong absorption from 0.2 to 1.4 THz, leading to higher absorption of MoS₂-lithium grease than that of lithium grease.

Keywords: terahertz lubricating grease molybdenum disulfide refractive index
