The effect of nanoceramic materials on the tribological properties of technological lubricants

Abstract

Abstract The effect of some nanotechnological materials such as boehmite and β-sialon on the tribological characteristics of technological lubricants has been studied. It is shown that even a low percentage of nanoceramics used for doping mineral oils can significantly improve the tribological situation in the zone of boundary contact friction. Technical and economic characteristics of the considered nanoceramics suggest them promising components in the development of innovative technological lubricants for heavy duty friction.
