This document reports results of tests to study the influence of crystal planes of single crystals of 13 metals on the rates of five chemical processes important to the operation or manufacture of lubricated surfaces. These processes are oxidation in air, corrosion by oils, wetting of the surface by stearic acid with copper, nickel, and iron, rearrangement and roughening of the surface due to the action of hot gases, and electrochemical processes including deposition, etching, replacement, and in a few cases, galvanic action. The results, in general, show the process rates to vary with plane in different degrees, with greater differences between the chemical behavior of two planes of the same metal than between polycrystallie surfaces on two different metals being shown in some cases.
