Effect of Molybdenum Disulfide Particle Sizes on Wear Performance of Commercial Lubricant
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Keywords— Wear, Anti-wear lubricant additive, Nanoparticles, Molybdenum Disulphide

Reducing the Mechanical Wear in a Dusty Environment (Cement Factory)
The solid particle contamination is a challenge for the cement industries due to the highly dusty environment. The contaminants cause severe wear between moving surfaces and this in turn leads to rapid mechanical failure of the machine elements. The solid particle contaminants get into the lubricant among the metal surfaces due to the environmental conditions. The conditions get more severe in ...

In this study, the effect of chromium carbide (Cr7C3) on abrasive wear behavior of Fe-C-Mo-FeCr composite was investigated. Composite, which was produced by a powder metallurgy route was containing 3 wt.% Mo, 1.5 wt. % C and 4,8,12 wt. % FeCr with the different particle sizes. In the experiments, wear resistance of samples were determined using different loads by a pin on disc wear tester. Micr...
متن کاملQuantification of a Lubricant Transfer Process that Enhances the Sliding Life of a MoS2 Coating
A lubricant transfer process that enhanced the wear life of a MoS2 coating has been identified and quantified. A steel ball sliding against a coated steel flat in reciprocating motion produced reservoirs at the turnaround part of the track ends, then emptied them, to provide replenishment similar to what is expected of liquid lubricants. The dynamics of the process were inferred from measuremen...
متن کاملMolybdenum Disulfide in Lubricant Applications – a Review
Molybdenum disulfide is one of the best known solid lubricants, and although it originally gained popularity in aerospace and military applications, it is now commonly found in a variety of lubrication applications. It is widely used in greases and specialized grease-like products known as pastes, in fluid lubricants such as automotive and industrial gear oils, in solid film lubricants includin...
متن کاملEffect of Substrate Bias Voltage and Ti Doping on the Tribological Properties of DC Magnetron Sputtered MoSx Coatings
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most widely used solid lubricants. In this work, composite MoSx/Ti coatings were deposited by direct-current magnetron sputter ion plating onto plain carbon steel substrates. The MoSx/Ti ratio in the coatings was controlled by sputtering the composite targets. The composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the coatings were explored using...
