A Taguchi Approach on Influence of Graphite as an Anti-Wear Additive on the Performance of Lithium Grease

An Influence of graphite powder as an extreme anti-wear additive on the tribological performance of lithium grease was identified by conducting tests as per ASTM 2266 standard. Signal to noise ratio analysis was done to identify the levels for optimum wear scar diameter. Analysis of variance was done to identify significant factor which affects wear scar diameter. For optimum levels, wear scar diameter was predicted.
