• This study investigated the effectiveness of lubricants and additives in preventing surface damage and wear, which is critical for numerous industrial applications. The ASTM standard operation conditions were employed for a series of experiments using a four-ball friction and wear tester, testing three different oils (A, B, and C) with and without 0.5% fly ash additive. The experiments were analyzed using a microscope to evaluate the effectiveness of oils and additives in preventing surface damage. The study found that certain anti-wear additives significantly reduced the size of wear scars on the balls, indicating their effectiveness in reducing surface damage. These findings have important implications for developing new lubricant formulations and optimizing industrial processes that involve sliding and rolling contacts. The study emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate oils and additives for specific applications to minimize surface damage and wear, which is crucial for improving the performance and lifespan of machine components.
