1、Designation: D7038 15D7038 17Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Moisture Corrosion Resistance of AutomotiveGear Lubricants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7038; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision
2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis Portions of this test method isare written for use by laboratories that make use the portions ofthe
3、 test method that refer to of ASTM Test Monitoring Center (TMC) services (see Annex A1AnnexA1 Annex A4). Laboratories that choose not to use the TMC services may simply disregard theseportions.The TMC provides reference oils, and engineering and statistical services to laboratories that desireto pro
4、duce test results that are statistically similar to those produced by laboratories previouslycalibrated by the TMC.In general, the Test Purchaser decides if a calibrated test stand is to be used. Organizations such asthe American Chemistry Council require that a laboratory use the TMC services as pa
5、rt of their testregistration process. In addition, the American Petroleum Institute and the Gear Lubricant ReviewCommittee of the Lubricant Review Institute (SAE International) require that a laboratory use theTMC services in seeking qualification of oils against their specifications.NOTE 1The advan
6、tage of using the TMC services to calibrate test stands is that the test laboratory (and hence theTest Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was operating at the proper level of test severity. It should also beborne in mind that results obtained in a non calibrated test stand may not be th
7、e same as those obtained in a test standparticipating in the ASTM TMC services process.The advantage of using the TMC services to calibrate test stands is that the test laboratory (andhence the Test Purchaser) has an assurance that the test stand was operating at the proper level of testseverity. It
8、 should also be borne in mind that results obtained in a non calibrated test stand may notbe the same as those obtained in a test stand participating in the ASTM TMC services process.Laboratories that choose not to use the TMC services may simply disregard these portions.1.

10、 stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.2.1 Exceptions(1) where there is no direct SI equivalent such as screw threads and national pip
11、e threads/diameters, and (2)the values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard for the definitions in 12.2, and for SI units where there are no directinch-pounds equivalent units.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It i
12、s the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and is the

Summary of Test Metho
23、d4.1 This procedure utilizes a Dana Corporation Model 30 hypoid differential assembly, Part No. 277701X, 4:10 ratio, standarddifferential with uncoated ring and pinion, without axle tubes.6,74.2 Test Unit PreparationPrior to each test, completely disassemble and clean the new differential housing as
24、sembly. Discardthe axle spacer block. Abrasive blast all rated parts (except bearings and cups). Disassemble all bearings from their mating partsprior to abrasive blasting. Coat all internal parts and rated surfaces with test oil. Reassemble the unit to test specification values.Install the unit on
25、the motoring rig and then connect an oil temperature monitoring probe and a drive shaft. Place a cooling fanand heat lamps into position near the test unit.4.3 Motoring PhaseCharge the test unit with 40 oz (1.2 L) of test oil. Drive the test unit with an electric motor at 2500 rminpinion speed in an
26、 unloaded condition (no axle shafts are used for the test). Add 1 oz (30 mL) of specified test water into the oilfill opening (all other test unit openings having been already sealed). Install the pressure relief system and set to 1 psi (7 kPa). Plugthe relief system when the lubricant temperature r
27、eaches 180F (82.2 C). Continue the motoring phase for 4 h at this controlledtemperature.4.1 Storage PhaseStop the motor at the completion of the motoring phase. Remove This procedure uses a new hypoiddifferential assembly as the primary test unit.The differential assembly is installed on a motoring
28、rig and charged with test lubricantand a small amount of water. The test unit is then sealed and driven until the lubricant temperature has increased to 180 F(82.2 C). The motoring phase is continued for 4 h and the test unit is then removed from the motoring rig and placeplaced in astorage box at 1
29、25F (52 C) for 162 h.for 162 h with the lubricant temperature controlled at 125 F (51.7 C). The test iscompleted at that time and the differential assembly is drained, disassembled, and inspected for rust, stain, and other deposits.3 For referencedASTM standards, visit theASTM website, www.astm.org,

Drain the differential assembly, disassemble, and rate forrust, stain, and other deposits.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test simulates a type of severe fiel
33、d service in which corrosion-promoting moisture in the form of condensed watervapor accumulates in the axle assembly. This may happen as a result of volume expansion and contraction of the axle lubricantand the accompanied breathing in of moisture-laden air through the axle vent. The test screens lu
34、bricants for their ability to preventthe expected corrosion.5.2 The L-33-1 test procedure is used or referred to in the following documents: ASTM Publication STP-512A,6 SAE J308,SAE J2360, and U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-2105E.6.
