Hypothesis: Carbon microspheres have been shown to reduce friction and surface wear at
relatively low speeds and high applied loads (ie, within the boundary lubrication regime) …

Currently, numerous methods are introduced to reduce the loss of mechanical energy of the
engine using various materials for anti-wear coatings. The paper presents the results of …

Contamination of lubricating oil by diesel soot is one of the major causes of increased
engine wear, especially with most engine manufacturers opting for Exhaust Gas …
