Abstract
Disposal of the petroleum lubricants creates problem through degradation of the environment. To address this issue, a substitute should be available which can provide the same properties available while considering petroleum lubricant. Calophyllum inophyllum is one of the feasible oil which is available in abundant quantity. In this study, Calophyllum inophyllum oil was undergone through the chemical modification process and after that tribological characterization was performed. The modified oil was blended with the mineral oil in certain ratios including 5–15% blend. Minimum COF was observed with 5% and 10% blends which gets increased with 15% blend application. Wear rate and wear scar diameter also shows the same behavior at all applied conditions. It can be concluded that up to 10% blend of modified Calophyllum inophyllum oil provides better lubricity with comparison to the mineral oil during all conditions considered.
