Features: This book starts with the gear lubrication process and, based on domestic and international research, provides a comprehensive introduction to lubricating materials for gear drives. In this book, the author combines the research achievements of gear lubricants and additives over many years, and according to the lubrication forms, characteristics, lubricant selection, gear load-bearing capacity, and tribological design of gears, introduces lubricants for industrial gears (including worm gears) and automotive gears, as well as nanomaterial additives with broad application prospects. The tribological mechanisms of these additives are analyzed. Additionally, synthetic oils, greases, and solid lubrication techniques suitable for gears are discussed, and a brief introduction to the regeneration methods for gears and gear oils is provided. The focus of this book is to introduce gear lubricating materials and related technologies, serving as a reference for engineers and university/college teachers and students engaged in gear drive design, manufacturing, lubrication management, lubricant research, and gear maintenance. As a textbook, it is suitable for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in science and engineering. The book mainly covers an overview of gear drives, gear load-bearing capacity, lubrication principles of gear drives, and the application and development of gear oils.
