In the present work, experimental investigation has been carried out to identify the effect of grinding direction on the wear of the sliding surfaces subjected to heavy load and low sliding velocity with molybdenum disulphide MoS2 as additive in commercial lubricant. The conformal block and disk test setup has been used to conduct experiments on conformal blocks with two grinding directions: one along the direction of sliding and other across the direction of sliding. The wear of the block is measured as its weight loss after the test. The results of the experiments are reported.

Experimental investigations have been conducted for determination of effectiveness of employing a combination of three particle sizes (40 nm size, 1.75 μm size and 53 μm size) of Molybdenum Disulphide as anti-wear additive in a commercial lubricant. The conformal block and disk configuration has been used to conduct experiments for determination of wear of the sliding surfaces. The performance of the proposed combined particle sizes anti-wear additive is compared with single particle size anti-wear additives to establish its robustness under varying surface conditions.
