Comparison on Tribological Responsiveness of Jatropha Lubricant Modified with H-BN on AISI E-52100 Steel and 6061 Aluminum Alloy Materials

In response to the challenges posed by friction and wear of tribo-components exposed to boundary lubrication conditions, there is increasing interest in conducting analysis on different materials as to ascertain their responses under nano lubricants. To increase the longevity and dependability of the motion systems, this study examined the impact of several tribo-pairs materials (steel-steel (AISI E-52100), Aluminium-aluminium (6061 Al)) on wear and friction under jatropha mixed hexagonal boron nitrate. The present research focuses on the lubricant modified by jatropha and its tribological behavior. It was shown that, in contrast to 6061 AL, the structure of h-BN materials greatly influences the tribological performance under AISI E-52100 in boundary lubrication regimes. Because 6061 AL is durable, the research saw significant wear with a polishing effect beneath this material. Tribo-film formation, which mostly takes place under AISI E-52100, is a significant factor in the tribological behavior of materials based on h-BN.
