Effects of Different Load with Vary Lubricant on the Friction Coefficient and Wear Rate Using Pin on Disk Tribometer

Abstract:

A study has been created on the wear rate and friction constant for various material under the impact of load and material where the equipment pin on disk has been used to investigate the specification on the wear and constant of friction (COF) theory. The issues occur because of the metal-to-metal contact once interaction between two surfaces creates friction, wear and heat. It’ll cause every element life shortened, economically wasted, surface damage and cracks. This paper evaluates via pin on disc tribometer using SKD II and aluminum alloy, A 5083 as work pieces material. The test was tested using different type of lubricant (palm olein and mineral based oil) with different load. The result shows palm olein is more than mineral-based oil for constant friction as sliding speed increased and wear scar diameter lubricated with palm olein lower at low and high speed compared to the oil. As a conclusion, palm olein has better performance properties in terms of friction reduction (coefficient of friction) and wear resistance (anti-wear properties) at low and high speed. Pin that lubricated with palm olein showed small wear scar diameter compared to the mineral based oil. Therefore, palm olein has risk to use as a lubricant of mating components.
