Additional information

This research reveals the synergy between additives in complex formulated oils. Wear of contacting surfaces poses major issues in heavy machinery (Caterpillar USA – TA Beveridge and DY Hua). These oils, manufactured by companies such as BP, Castrol and Infineum* for lubricated contacts, contain anti-wear and friction modifiers. Tribological testing measures performance, but this research combines tests with advanced characterisation (contribution of Shollock) to gain unique insight.
