Özet

The effect of inorganic fullerene-like (IF) WS(2) nanoparticles added to mineral oil which has a potential to reduce engine friction was investigated using a reciprocating piston ring - cylinder bore bench test system. The test system simulates actual engine conditions controlling oil temperature, speed, and normal load. Frictional characteristics of various IF-WS(2) nanoparticle concentrations in mineral oil were experimentally analyzed.
