TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF DIAMOND NANOPARTICLE ADDITIVE IN WATER UNDER A LUBRICATION BETWEEN STEEL PLATE AND TUNGSTEN CARBIDE BALL

Tribological properties of diamond nanoparticle additive in water under a lubrication between steel plate and tungsten carbide ball

We studied the effectiveness of diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) dispersed in water as a lubricant additive between stainless steel plates and sintered tungsten carbide (WC) balls.DNP dispersions with concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 wt.% were prepared and used as lubricants under a load of 1.88 N, for 240,000 friction cycles.High-friction coefficient
