Wear Metals and Additive Elements Analysis in used lubricating oils using ICP-OES Lubricating oils are used in very difficult conditions in engines reaching high temperatures and varying pressure conditions in contact with many metallic parts. The lubricating function of the oil can be modified according to the amount and the nature of the metals present. The analysis of used oil is an effective tool to ensure the control of the lubricating function of the oil. Moreover, monitoring the wear metals content can be used as a diagnostic to schedule preventive maintenance. In fact, preventive maintenance will reduce the cost directly linked to materials and parts but also due to down-time. Any harm or damage that may result from an engine failure may also be avoided.
