Corps gras. Les graisses consistantes sont des lubrifiants employés chaque fois qu'un lubrifiant liquide ne peut convenir (par exemple pour les roulements à billes). Elles sont en général constituées par des huiles minérales gélifiées par des savons : savons de calcium, de baryum, d'aluminium ou de lithium. L'acide gras et le métal constituant le savon influent considérablement sur les propriétés des graisses consistantes (point de fusion, résistance au cisaillement). L'hydroxystéarate de lithium donne des graisses consistantes très performantes. 4, record 2, French, - graisse%20lubrifiante
