Influence of Additive concentration in Soybean Oil on Rheological and tribological Behavior
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
The rheology of vegetal oils, additivated or not and the factors that influence their viscosity have been studied by specialists, in order to introduce these oils as lubricants in green industries as agriculture, food processing, transportation and for complying with environmental and health regulations; the vegetal oils are also envisaged as an eco-friendly alternative to similar mineral and synthetic products. This study presents the influence of nature and concentration of additive in soybean oil on its rheological and tribological behavior, reflected by shear stress - shear rate, viscosity - temperature curves and by the wear scar diameter (WSD) after testing the formulated lubricants on a four- ball machine.
