The search summarizes previous findings and observations on contact resistance, variational contact resistance during sliding, friction, and wear of gold sliding systems. It also summarizes an evaluation of four lubricants for use as possible slip ring lubricants.leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V851 1994.W433AbherentsLubrication and lubricantsA literature review of slip ring performance and an evaluation of four lubricants in a slip ring wear applicationMaster's projecthttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02022010-020203/
