All lubricants undergo a process of degradation as they enter into service or sometimes the degradation can occur beforehand while they are in unsuitable storage conditions. Being able to avoid degradation may seem near impossible but instead of avoiding it, we can make attempts to manage it. This all begins by being able to properly identify the various types of degradation modes and then addressing each mode. In this session, we will take a deep dive into 6 lubricant degradation modes, find out ways to determine their occurrence and effectively manage their rate of degradation.
