The effect of carbon nanoadditives on the tribological properties of industrial oils

Abstract

The promising methods of production and application of carbon nanoparticles in tribology are reviewed in this work. The design and operating principles of the unit for obtaining carbon nanoparticles by the electrical arc method elaborated by us are described. The results of laboratory tests on a four-ball friction machine concerning the effect of carbon nanoadditives on the wear-resistant and antiscoring properties of industrial oil I-32A are discussed.
