Abstract

Nowadays,nanoparticles play an important role in reducing engine wear by using additional lubricants.HBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitrate) and ZrO2 (Zirconia Oxide) have been used as an additive in this study.The aims of this study are focuses on the investigation of wear and friction mechanisms on ball bearings tested by develop samples consist of treated / filter SN0W20 engine oil with composition of nanoparticle according to extreme pressure. Decreasing engine performance due to the presence of garments in engine parts such as crankshaft, connecting rod and bearing lead to waste a lot of energy. Due to this waste,a lot of study was conducted to overcome this issue by improving lubricant.The tests are carried out at extreme pressure for ball bearings lubricated by samples and tests according to the ASTM D2783 Standard Method Test Method for Measurement of Fluid Pressure (Four Ball Method) for lubricants.The wear mechanism result was compared based on the type of additive nanoparticles used in samples that occur in the ball bearings investigated. Additionally,the wear mechanisms on the ball bearings was investigated using a microscope or scanning electron microscope (SEM).The results show that with the addition of hexagonal boron nitrate,aluminum oxide oxide and zirconia oxide nano particles at SN0W20 could increased the capacity of lubricating oil loads.Therefore,nano-oil can provide better performance especially when under extreme pressure.
