Experimental Investigation and Optimization of Gear Oil for Different Varying Concentration of Graphene Nanoparticles as Additive
摘要
In the present research work, we examine the tribological properties of EP gear oil by using graphene nanoparticles (GNP) as additives. All experimental tests were carried out under different concentrations of GNP in lubricating gear oil and load. The wear and friction tests were examined using FOUR BALL TRIBOTESTER- TR 30 L machine. This research work shows that addition of GNP in gear oil with proper concentration significantly minimises the wear and friction. So, it improves the tribological properties of gear oil. The dispersedly study of graphene nanoparticles (GNP) in gear oil using Image Acquisition System-IAS makes sure that graphene nanoparticles show good solubility and stability in the lubricant and behave better tribological properties of the gear oil.
