This work demonstrats a convenient and effective approach to synthesize WSe2 nanorods at only 600 degrees C in argon atmosphere after ball milling. The friction and wear properties of WSe2 nanorods as additives in two kinds of base oil, GyT130 oil and 60N oil were systematically investigated. Compared to base oil, the friction coefficient of the base oil containing WSe2 nanorods was obviously reduced and the wear behaviour was improved. The nanorods in the 60N base oil showed better tribological properties than that in the GYT 130 oil. The ftiction-and-wear mechanism of the WSe2 nanorods as lubrication additive was discussed.
