Abstract

Friction affects the efficiency of a mechanical system. This paper discusses the influence of Tungsten Disulphide (WS2) as a friction modifier (FM). Friction and wear characteristics of base oil as a result of the addition of 0.1% and 0.5 % weight of WS2 were studied. WS2 nanoparticles were mixed with base oil using magnetic stirrer at 50oC for 60 minutes, then were homogenized in an ultrasonic homogenizer for 1 hour. Friction and wear characteristic of these mixtures were tested using four-ball and HFRR test-rig. The results show that the addition of both 0.1% and 0.5% WS2 nanoparticles increased by around 40% the anti-wear characteristic of mineral base oil group I and 12% for other groups of base oils. The increase in friction coefficients was in a range of 7.5% to 35% as a result of the addition of additives.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a lubricant formula for the gasoline engine that has been converted to compressed natural gas (CNG-fueled). The lubricant specification is SAE 15W40 API SL. This study was conducted in six stages, namely; i). lubricant formulation, ii). laboratory scale production, iii). Laboratory analysis, iv). pilot scale production and laboratory analysis, v). test performance through bench test or a road test, vi). final data analysis and evaluation. A laboratory test of physical and chemical properties of lubricants refers to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), followed by road tests up to the mileage of 10,000 kilometers. The result showed that the lubricant formula obtained can work well to 10,000 kilometers.
