Experimental Investigation on Effect of Particle Sizes of Molybdenum Disulphide on Wear Under Heavy Load and Slow Speed Conditions
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
In the present work, experimental investigation has been carried out to identify the effectiveness of employing three different particle sizes of MoS2 (Nano-particles: 40 nm size, Technical superfine grade: 1.75 μm size and Technical grade: 53 μm size) in varying quantities (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% by weight) on the wear of the sliding surfaces. The experiments were conducted on a conformal block and disk test setup. The running-in distance required to achieve steady state wear was determined experimentally. The wear of the block is measured as its weight loss after the test. The results of the experiments are reported
