Experimental investigation of minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) in cold forward extrusion

Abstract

This project paper presents the development of lubricant produced by nonmineral oil. This study more to measurement of the quantity needed to get the best product at the same time to know the minimum quantity where haven’t waste the lubricant itself. As knowing previously the mineral oil gave a big impact to the environment with too much pollution in the world. The non mineral oil currently, still in the research level because the effort to produce it is lower than mineral oil. Therefore to know the minimum quantity of non mineral oil can be used as lubricant is so important, because if get minimized the quantity used in the industry, it can help the usage of this lubricant will be expanded in the world. The best things is in this research the RBD palm oil was choose to represent the non-mineral oil, and mineral oil were represented by paraffinic mineral oil VG460 and paraffinic mineral oil VG95, where Malaysia is one of the countries have large of palm plant in the world. As long as this work can contributes greatly towards be Malaysia as one of the country produce lubricant from palm oil.
