Tribological performance of mustard seeds oil under different loads using PIN-ON-DISK TRIBOTESTER

الملخص EN

Vegetable oil has been investigated to displace products which are derived from petroleum because of its environmentally-safe properties and has become a vital source for bio-lubricants.

Vegetable oil availability as one of the renewable sources is one of the usefulness of it.

Additionally, the vegetable oils based lubricant has indicated the potentials for reducing carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon emission while operating in internal combustion engines and in industrial processes.

In this study, the mustard seeds oil was investigated to study its lubricant characteristics under different loads while comparing it with commercial lubricant using a pin-on-disk tribometer.

The whole experiential works were corresponding to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM G99).Under low load, the results exhibit that the mustard seeds oil shows adequate tribological characteristics compared to other petroleum oil samples.

In conclusion, the mustard seeds oil has a better wear and friction resistance.

Therefore, mustard seeds oil can be used for lubrication of mating components.
