Holey Süper Grafen (HSG) Nano-Katkılı Dizel Motor Yağlarının Tribolojik Özelliklerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Holey Süper Grafen (HSG) nano-katkısının dizel motor yağının tribolojik özelliklerinin üzerindeki etkisi deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Baz yağ hacmi 25 mL olacak şekilde hazırlanan deneysel yağlara sırasıyla 0,03, 0,06, 0,12 ve 0,24 g HSG ilave edilerek gerçekleştirilen aşınma testleri, katkı oranının sürtünme davranışı üzerinde belirgin bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. En düşük sürtünme katsayısı, 25 mL yağa 0,025 g HSG ilavesiyle elde edilmiş ve katkısız yağa kıyasla yaklaşık %20 oranında bir iyileşme sağlanmıştır. Daha yüksek katkı seviyelerinde ise sürtünme katsayısının yeniden arttığı gözlenmiştir. Yoğunluk ölçümleri, HSG ilavesinin yağın fiziksel özellikleri üzerinde ihmal edilebilir bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuçlar, sürtünmedeki iyileşmenin yoğunluk değişiminden değil, HSG’nin yüzeyde oluşturduğu tribofilm ve lameller kayma mekanizmasından kaynaklandığını göstermektedir.

Investigation of the Effect of Holey Super Graphene (HSG) Nano-Additive on the Tribological Performance of Diesel Engine Oils

Abstract

In this study, the effect of Holey Super Graphene (HSG) nano-additive on the tribological performance of a diesel engine oil was experimentally investigated. Wear tests were conducted using lubricants prepared with a constant base oil volume of 25 mL, into which HSG was added in amounts of 0.03, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.24 g. The results clearly demonstrate that the additive concentration exerts a pronounced influence on frictional behavior. The lowest coefficient of friction was achieved with the addition of 0.025 g HSG to 25 mL of oil, corresponding to an improvement of approximately 20% compared to the neat oil. At higher additive contents, however, the coefficient of friction was observed to increase again. Density measurements revealed that the incorporation of HSG has a negligible effect on the bulk physical properties of the oil. These findings indicate that the observed reduction in friction is not governed by density variations, but rather by the formation of an HSG-derived tribofilm on the contact surfaces and the activation of a lamellar sliding mechanism during lubrication.
