Research abstract
The threshold objective of SBIR topic DLA211-002 is to develop a database of physical and chemical properties for MIL-PRF-17331 oils as a function of manufacturer, additive composition, shelf-life, and contamination with corresponding FTIR spectra. This is part of a broader objective to develop a comprehensive understanding of the factors that lead to oil degradation and ways to prevent and/or mitigate those factors to prevent product loss. METSS is addressing both the immediate and long-term goals with a multi-faceted approach to compile data from historical, current, and model oil systems; identify the mechanisms that lead to oil degradation; identify the most efficient screening methods for rapid and efficient quality assurance testing; and propose corrective actions to address quality degradation.
