Experimental Study of Nanoparticle as Oil Additives

Abstract:

Cu nanoparticles as N32 base oil additives were studied in the paper. The structure of Cu nanoparticlcs was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction spectroscope (XRD). The widely used steel-steel friction system was chosen to test the feasibility and practicality of Cu nanoparticles as bearing lubricant additives. The results show that N32 base oil with 0.5% Cu nanoparticle can improve the test sample contact fatigue life than pure N32 base oil.
