Abstract:The present research investigated the lubricating performance of ZnO, SiO2, and WS2 nanoparticles as oil additives applied on steel frictional pairs. The study consisted of two stages. In first stage, the lubricating properties of nanofluids were examined using the various nanoparticle concentrations. It was obtained that the 3wt% ZnO, 5wt% SiO2, and 3wt% WS2 nanofluids showed the best performance. In second stage, an orthogonal test matrix was designed to understand the influences of load, sliding frequency a… Show more
