Implication

Randomized trial investigates wear resistance improvement in Al 4032 alloy using biodiesel and seashell powder, suggesting effective biofriendly lubrication.

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the wear resistance of Al4032 alloy by investigating the effects of biodiesel and seashell powder as lubricants.
Evaluated wear performance using pin-on-disc tests at varying temperatures (30°C, 45°C, 60°C).
Employed the Taguchi method for experimental parameter optimization (load, temperature, and duration).
Conducted SEM analysis to examine wear mechanisms.
Significant reduction in wear rate with biodiesel lubrication by 63.45% compared to dry conditions.
Seashell powder addition led to a further reduction in wear by 93.40%.
Load was identified as the critical factor influencing wear performance (74-82%).
