Abstract
AbstractMetalworking lubricants must allow the manufacture of acceptable products at competitive cost without causing harm to operators or the environment. One way of attaining such a goal is through the use of biobased raw materials in lubricant formaulations. Biobased materials are generally non‐toxic, easily biodegradable, and abundantly available from renewable agricultural sources. However, successful application of biobased marterials in lubrication requires a thorough understanding of the tribochemical properties of these agricultural products. Recent studies have shown that biobased lubricants comprising starch and vegetable oils have promising lubrication properties. This paper discusses investigations into the effect of film thickness on the friction properties of dry‐film lubricants formulated from starch‐soybean oil composites.
