Tribological Performance of Vegetable-Based Lubricant as a Sustainable Metalworking Fluid for Machining Application

Modifying physicochemical and tribological properties of a vegetable-based lubricant is essential in improving its lubrication performances. This paper presents the effectiveness of a lubricant additive in a bio-based lubricant to improve its tribological performance. Tribology tests on steel/steel contacts were conducted to evaluate the lubricant samples. Test outputs were benchmarked against the neat bio-based lubricant. Results revealed good synergistic effect of the additive blended into the bio-based lubricant. The tribological improvements posed by the bio-based lubricant revealed better than or comparable results to the conventional synthetic ester and therefore is seen suitable for the use as a new advanced renewable bio-based metalworking fluid for manufacturing activities that corresponds to the energy saving benefits and environmental concerns.
