Assessment of Tribological Properties of Oil-Based Flake WS2-Oleic Acid Lubricant on Steel-Brass Sliding Contact
The current research focused on the tribological properties of flake-like WS2 particles dispersed into PAO4 base oil with oleic acid as surfactant. Various concentrations of 0.2 mass%, 1 mass% and 3 mass% were applied in the preparation of WS2-OA lubricant. The wear tests were carried out using a ba...
