Abstract
The increase in the search for sustainable solutions brings the possibility of studies aimed at the insertion of vegetable based oils in the market with the purpose of application as lubricants in substitution of mineral based oils that are products derived from petroleum. This study aimed to determine the physical properties of linseed and castor oil in order to compare LUBRAX HYDRA XP32 and SHELL OMALA S2 G220 mineral oil, respectively. After make wear test where it was measured by thermistors, the difference between the temperature in the environment and the contact surface of the test stand, the amount of oil in the contact region was performed through a phototransistor. From the results, it was observed that the wear rates of linseed oil presented approximately 25% in relation to LUBRAX HYDRA XP32. Castor oil presented a 71.5% wear rate on OMALA S2 G220. On the Cooling the linseed oils and LUBRAX HYDRA XP32 present similar results, between the oils of castor oil and OMALA S2 G 220 the vegetable oil has an inferior working temperature. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using vegetable oils as a substitute for oils of mineral origin, which are of great importance for sustainable development.
