ABSTRACT:

The object of the present work is to the microstructure and tribological behaviour of EN8 steel in presence of ZnO nanofluid. For this purpose the microstructure of En8 steel after heat treatment were examined by optical microscopy and, scanning electron microscopy respectively. Thus heat treatment (heating and cooling) is used to obtain desired properties of steels such as improving the toughness, ductility or removing the residual stresses etc. It covers heat conduction, and lubrication between two rubbing body .A technique tribological nanofluids has recently been developed to engineer the surfaces of flame hardened EN8 stainless steel to achieve combined improvement in wear and corrosion resistance. In order to evaluate the tribological behaviour of the layers produced on EN8 stainless steel dry sliding wear tests have been carried out in the present work.
