Tribological activity of ultradisperse organic lubricant additives for cam mechanisms subject to abrasive wear

Abstract

The effect of nanodispersed triboactive additive introducing into the oil suspension of model abrasive is considered. The influence of the concentrations both additive and abrasive, as well as the dispersion of the solid phase on the wear of steel-steel pair friction, is determined. It has been suggested that carbon nano-particle additives under these conditions can shield the level of abrasive wear.
