Effect Of Molybdenum Disulfide Particle Sizes On Wear Performance Of Commercial Lubricant, Innovative Research Publications Irp India, S. M. Muzakkir, Harish Hirani

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

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.
