Relevance of Castor oil and Neem Oil as Renewable Energy BioBased Lubricating Fluids in Extrusion of Aluminium Billet
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper investigated the relevance of Castor oil and Neem oil as renewable energy bio-based lubricating fluids in extrusion of aluminium billet. The two oils were formulated with 0.5 and 0.75 percentage weight of antimony dialkyldithio-carbamate (ADDC) additive using the ASTM D2783-3 standard test method for measurement of anti-wear and extreme pressure (EP) properties of the lubricating oils by Four-Ball Method. Extrusion dies with semi die angles of 300 and 450 were constructed and case-hardened. A hardness value of 613HV was obtained using the Vickers hardness testing machine. Results obtained from this work shows that the renewable energy bio-based oils used are suitable and can serve as substitute to conventional lubricating fluids in the extrusion of aluminium billet because of the good surface finish achieved.
