Al2O3 nanoparticles, employed as additives in lubricating oils, demonstrate favorable tribological properties including anti-wear and anti-friction characteristics. In this work, nano-scale γ-Al2O3 particles with different shapes, i.e., nanosheet, nanorod, nanosphere, and irregular-shaped nanoparticles, were prepared and calcinated forming the same crystalline phase with nanoscale size, which dispersed well in lubricating oil. The tribological properties of Al2O3 nanoparticles as lubricating oil additives were examined using block-on-ring wear tests, and the effects of the particle shape and particle concentration were investigated. The results indicated that the frictional properties are largely influenced by the particle shape and the concentration of the Al2O3 additives, with the optimal concentration being around 0.1 wt% for each shape. The lubricating oil with nanosheet additives presented the best tribological performance, followed by those with nanorod, nanosphere, and irregular-shaped Al2O3 nanoparticle additives. Al2O3 nanosheets as the lubricating oil additives reduced the stress effect on the friction surface because of their larger bearing area and are inter-particle-sheared during sliding due to the movement of friction pairs, which can further improve the tribological properties compared to other shapes.This research was funded by the Study on Tribology and Lubrication Technology of the Marine Low-Speed Engine (Grant No. 202123J-2), the National Key R&D Program of China (Grant No. 2022YFB4300801), and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China (Grant No. 3132023515).Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteGrinkevych, Konstantin [0000-0001-8305-7894]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/387651https://doi.org/10.3390/ jmse12071069reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
