The Influence of Nano-Particle Additive to Lubricating Oils on the Structure and Properties of Friction Surfaces

Abstract

The article considers the influence of the additive in the lubricating oils Cermet, on tribological properties of a friction pair «cast iron – chrome», which is typical for the cylinder-piston unit of engines. It is shown that the introduction of Cermet additive reduces the coefficient of friction and the wear. The mechanism of investigated additive action was proposed on the basis of the research results
