Thermal Stability and Lubrication Properties of Biodegradable Castor Oil on AISI 4140 Steel

Abstract: Lubricants have much importance in several industries, principally serving to reduce friction and wear in mechanical elements. In this study, the influence of Castor oil as bio-lubricant on the friction and wear performance of AISI 4140 steel was investigated. For that purpose, pin-on-disk friction tests were conducted according to ASTM G-99, by using pins of tungsten carbide (WC) as counterparts. The experiments were performed at two different temperatures. This work also presents the Attenuated Total Reflect… Show more

“…The minimum film thickness can be obtained by the equations of B. J. Hamrock and D. Dowson [18] for point contacts, as applied in [6]. For that purpose, the values of the pressure-viscosity coefficient (α p ) of the lubricants are required.…”

“…Green lubricants exhibit low toxicity, excellent biodegradability, and, usually, they are derived from natural vegetable oils [2,5]. The most commonly employed natural oils for producing bio-based lubricants are rapeseed, sunflower, canola, soybean, palm, coconut, and castor oil, to name a few [1,2,[5][6][7][8]. Generally, vegetable oils have excellent lubricating properties, and they also present high viscosity indexes (VI) and high flash points [2,5,8].…”

“…Thus, it is interesting that the legume that produces a limited amount of oil and is produced on small farms should be used in the production of biodiesel. For example, castor seed presents high oil content, ranging from 44% to 60% of dry mass and has the characteristics of large amplitude of thermal conditions and high oxidative stability . Similarly, the peanut seed is very promising for biodiesel production, because it presents a high oil content of 45% to 55% .…”

“…For example, castor seed presents high oil content, ranging from 44% to 60% of dry mass 10 and has the characteristics of large amplitude of thermal conditions and high oxidative stability. 11 Similarly, the peanut seed is very promising for biodiesel production, because it presents a high oil content of 45% to 55%. 12,13 These two seeds, castor and peanut, are produced in family farming, and their use in biodiesel production would lead to significant additions to the financial and economic value of the vegetal culture in semiarid areas of Brazil.…”

“…Ricinoleic acid (RA), also known as cis-12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid, is the only industrial fatty acid containing a hydroxy group in nature [1] and can be used as raw material for skin care products, plasticizers, emulsifiers, lubricants, and nanomaterials [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Castor oil (CO) is one kind of nonedible oil derived from the plant seeds of Ricinus communis [1,9].…”
