Abstract

Lubrication is necessary to minimise the frictional impact created during the running of a vehicle since it increases wear and friction among the parts in contact. Wear and friction shorten the component's life, decrease its dependability, and raise maintenance costs. The current study uses a tribo tester to examine the friction and wear properties of rapeseed biodiesel at fixed parameters. The investigated lubricants included B0 (diesel), B100 (biodiesel), and four distinct blends of biodiesel: B15, B30, B45, and B60. Analysis was done for one hour at ambient temperature with a standard load of 140 N at a speed of 1000 rpm. The outcome showed that as the concentration of biodiesel augmented, friction and wear scar get reduced. The aluminium pin wear in B100 appeared 16% less than that in diesel. Also, the presence of esters and fatty acids during Fourier transform infrared analysis of biodiesel contributes more to its possibilities as a lubricant.
