In the present work, experimental investigation has been carried out to identify the effectiveness of employing Tungsten Disulphide (WS2) in varying quantities (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% by weight) in commercial lubricant on the wear of the sliding surfaces. The block on disk configuration-setup has been used to conduct experiments. The wear of the block is measured as its weight loss after the test. The results of the experiments have been reported.
