STLE Chicago Section Technical Meeting
Topic: Tribological Properties of Polymerized Vegetable Oils and Esters and Their Comparison to Chlorinated Paraffins in Metalworking Applications
Presenter: Dr. Selim M. Erhan, Afton Corporation
Date/Time: Thursday, October 18, 2012
Abstract
The larger molecules such as polymeric vegetable oils and esters are multifunctional additives in metalworking fluids and impart good low foaming properties and coupling effects. But their most notable contributions are in lubricity. Their performance is especially important as there is an effort to replace chlorinated paraffin's in performance and cost. This paper will focus on the tribological performance of polymeric vegetable oils, and various esters and compare their performance to the performance of chlorinated paraffin's using instruments such as the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig, Hille Press, Reichert, 4-Ball Wear and Microtap.
