Abstract

In the present work, experimental investigation has been carried out to identify the effectiveness of employing Zinc (Zn) nano-particles in varying quantities (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% by weight) as anti-wear additive in a lubricant on the wear of the sliding surfaces. The block on disk configuration-setup has been used to conduct experiments. The wear of the block is measured as its weight loss after the test. The results of the experiments have been reported.
