Physical
& Chemical Properties
The oxygen in air dissolved in oil forms metal oxide films which have
anti-wear and limited anti-scuff properties. Iron oxides, especially
Fe3O4 on steel, is effective in reducing metal to metal contact. This
oxide is frequently found as wear fragments in used oil when low wear
occurs. Conversely, if an oil is deaerated so that the oxide film
cannot be continuously repaired, high wear and scuffing occurs immediately.
