| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to prevent fatigue fractures by repeated stress, hardness of contact materials have been increased. However it is not sufficient. In this study, we carried out to improve fatigue life using dispersing graphene oxide in lubricating oil. Dispersion methods of graphene oxide in lubricating oil and rolling tester with minimum lubricating oils were developed. Improvement of fatigue life was achieved by the dispersing graphene oxide in the lubricating oil. However, formation of tribofilm which seems to greatly improve fatigue life was not achieved. In the future, in order to achieve further improvement of fatigue life, we will discover dispersants that will improve formation of tribofilms.
