The article presents the results of the use of additives based on non-stoichiometric compounds Mo and W to improve railway greases LZ-CNII and CIATIM 201. In the course of the work, a comparative analysis of the thermophysical and tribological properties of these lubricants with additives was carried out. It was also established that the introduction of lubricants of this type of additives into the dispersion medium improves the tribological properties without deteriorating the performance parameters of these lubricants.
