| Summary: | In this work, 1,3-diketone synthesized via the Claisen condensation method and nano-copper particles modified by the Brust–Schiffrin method were added into a commercial marine medium-speed diesel engine cylinder piston oil to evaluate their effects on boundary lubrication performance. Friction and wear tests conducted on CKS-coated piston ring and cast-iron cylinder liner samples demonstrated significant reductions in both friction and wear with the addition of 1,3-diketone and nano-copper particles. Compared to the original oil without additives, the friction force was reduced by up to 16.7%, while the wear of the piston ring and cylinder liner was decreased by up to 21.6% and 15.1% at 150 °C, respectively. A worn surface analysis indicated that the addition of 1,3-diketone and functionalized nano-copper particles influenced the depolymerization and tribo-chemical reactions of the anti-wear additive ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) in the original engine oil. This modification enhanced the oil’s anti-friction and anti-wear properties, offering valuable insights into the development of eco-friendly lubricants for energy-efficient systems. |
