Abstract

The tribological properties of Lithium grease specimens with different concentrations of Al2O3 nanoparticles were investigated using a pin on disc apparatus under different sliding speeds and normal loads. Results showed that Al2O3 nanoparticles enhanced the tribological properties of lithium grease and reduced the COF and wear scar width by approximately 57.9% and 47.5% respectively.
