“…Recently, there has been considerable interest in the applicability of vegetable oils (VO) as environmentally friendly lubricants. Biodegradable lubricants, hydraulic oils, and other functional fluids are particularly important for users of equipment exposed to the environment (1)(2)(3)(4). When utilizing VO, biodegradable lubricant manufacturers face many problems such as insufficient oxidative stability (5)(6)(7)(8), poor corrosion protection (9), or susceptibility to hydrolytic degradation (10).…”

Low-temperature properties need improvement before vegetable oils can receive wider recognition as biodegradable lubricants. Effects of dilution with major biodegradable fluids, namely poly alpha olefin (PAO 2), diisodecyl adipate (DIDA), and oleates, as well as impact of pour point depressant (PPD), were investigated. Since solidification of mixed unsaturated triacylglycerols is a complex thermodynamic process, the study was limited to pour point determinations. Vegetable oils demonstrated higher pour points with increased saturation and molecular weight. Cis unsaturation and hydroxy groups favored lower pour points. Dilution with oleates appeared less effective than dilution with PAO 2 and DIDA. Addition of 1% PPD (w/w) depressed pour points down to −33°C for canola and −24°C for high-oleic sunflower oils. However, neither higher amounts of PPD nor incorporation of diluent produced further depression. Depression of pour points was not proportional to the amount of diluent and ceased with further dilution. Low-temperature performance of vegetable oils limits their prospect as biodegradable lubricants, but well-balanced usage of PPD and diluents can deliver some improvements.Paper no.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to select any single test that will model the expected performance of hydraulic fluids in a wide range of hydraulic pumps. Increased pressures often encountered in new hydraulic pump applications compounds this problem. However, some basic assessment of hydraulic fluid performance is necessary for numerous reasons such as: developing an appropriate fluid purchase policy, international standard development, fluid classification and others. Since the classic standard tests such as: ASTM D2882, DIN 51389 and others are simply inadequate for this task and also since the manufacturer , Eaton Inc., no longer manufactures these pumps, it has been necessary to develop an alternative test [1][2][3]. The Bosch-Rexroth Corporation has developed a high-pressure piston pump test that has been an excellent predictor of hydraulic fuid performance for many years. This test is currently being developed as a candidate for an ASTM Standard and is the subject of this report.

“…Other research has been conducted on vegetable-based metal lubricants in the form of fatty acids on the grinding performance of various types of carboxylic acids and found that they have the best grinding performance of all oiliness agents, friction modifier, and EP agents [10]. Common industrial wastes, such as used sunflower oil and organic acids from the food processing industry, have also found their applications in Russia as a base material for lubricating additives [11]. In relation to the limitations with plant and/or vegetable extracts, research states these problems may only be partially overcome using additives.…”

Throughout the world, the production, application, and disposal of metalworking fluid (MWF) must adhere to the requirements of nature and the environment. Plant-derived oils have been researched as the alternative to mineral-based cutting fluids as they are deemed to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable. This paper investigates different vegetable- and plant-derived oils in their pure state, as blends or as commercially available products within the industry, and measures their relative oxidation stability levels and their ability to perform as a lubricant. A set of standard techniques, such as pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC), which measures the oxidation onset temperature and the oxidation induction time, four-ball tester, sliding resistance value (SRV), and micro tap methods, were utilized to analyse the tribological properties of the fluid. The results determined that the oxidation stability varies and is dependent on the chemical structure of the oil and its origins, and physiochemical processing during extraction and storage. In relation to oxidation stability being the sole limiting factor, the tribological performance of the oils was affected by their physical and chemical properties. It was apparent from the findings that the physical properties of the oil are also responsible for the low performance of the oil as a metal cutting fluid.
