Abstract
This paper deals with the comparison of lubricant properties and environmental effect of newly developed bio-lubricant based on rice bran oil. The various lubricant properties like rheological, tribological, thermal properties, oxidative stability, corrosive stability, biodegradability and toxicity of the formulated oil have been evaluated and compared with a commercially available lubricant SAE 20W40. The formulated oil from rice bran oil is found to be highly biodegradable, less corrosive and non-toxic. Even though the coefficient of friction of the formulated oil is less compared to SAE 20W40, the wear scar diameter is slightly high compared to SAE 20W40.
期刊介绍:
IJSurfSE publishes refereed quality papers in the broad field of surface science and engineering including tribology, but with a special emphasis on the research and development in friction, wear, coatings and surface modification processes such as surface treatment, cladding, machining, polishing and grinding, across multiple scales from nanoscopic to macroscopic dimensions. High-integrity and high-performance surfaces of components have become a central research area in the professional community whose aim is to develop highly reliable ultra-precision devices.
