Aloraifan, Saud (2017) The influence of Nano-Graphite as lubricant additive on lubricity of canola oil and tribological behaviour of mild steel. [USQ Project]
Abstract
The usage of vegetable oil as a lubricant has its own limitations due to their poor viscosity performance despite the recent works to improve the characteristics of potential oils. On the other hand, there are some works have been attempted to use graphite as additives in lubricants which have not been explored in vegetable oil yet. In this project, nano-graphite will be used in vegetable oil and its influence on the oil lubricity will be studied. The wear and frictional behaviour of mild steel will be explored as well. Worn surfaces will be examined using Scanning electron microscopy. Roughness profile of the counterface will be considered as well.
