Chapter 7 Nanoengineered metal oxide additives as tribological performance modifiers
-
Anil Dhanola
Abstract
The utilization of lubricating oil effectively minimizes friction amid mechanical components, subsequently diminishing energy consumption while enhancing both the longevity and reliability of these parts. Given the constant advancements in science and technology, the enhancement of lubricating oil performance becomes imperative to meet increasingly demanding tribological requisites for combating wear and ensuring adequate lubrication. Nanolubricants, comprising a blend of metallic/ nonmetallic nanoadditives and conventional lubricants, have recently garnered significant attention from researchers and tribologists. This attention stems from their inherent capacity to augment the antifriction/anti-wear properties of the primary lubricant. Over recent years, metal oxide nanoparticles have emerged as pivotal engineering materials within lubricating oils, finding application across diverse tribological applications like bearings, gears, bushings, and electrical contacts. Despite the available literature, a comprehensive synthesis focusing on the application of metal oxide-based nanolubricants across various contact surfaces has been notably absent. Consequently, this chapter endeavors to introduce the lubrication mechanisms involving nanoengineered metal oxide additives while delineating the latest research trends associated with these specific lubricant enhancements. The primary aim of this chapter is to furnish a comprehensive resource that aids researchers in grasping the fundamental principles and recent advancements pertaining to lubricants fortified with nanoengineered metal oxide additives.
