Abstract
Wear is the damaging, gradual removal or deformation of material at solid surfaces. The material loss due to wearing of interacting surfaces is a major concern. This not only decreases the life of the components that are interacting but also lead to various hazards. A lubricant is a substance, usually organic, introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces interact. The experiment has been carried to study the wear rates of the tribopair and effect of lubricants on it. The shaft was fabricated by using an inhouse built 3-D printer. It is performed using a shaft-bearing mechanism. This research article discusses the study of measurement of the reduction in wear in the materials Polylactic Acid and an MDF board using HP grease AP3 and Loctite Maintain as two different lubricants.
