Abstract
In this paper, experiments have been performed for the investigation of tribological characteristics of automobile gear oil with the addition of ZDDP and DEP by using the FALEX WEAR TEST MACHINE. The results are as follows. The wear characteristics of gear oil was improved by adding compound additives. The extreme pressure of gear oil increases and then decreases with the applied load. The maximum extreme pressure of gear oil with compound additive is bigger then that of pure gear oil. The friction coefficient of pure gear oil monotonically increases with the temperature, but that of gear oil mixed with the additives decreases at the high temperature.
