| Summary: | Steel and gray cast iron has been the most produced and used in
engineering applications. In its application, steel and gray cast iron will have
friction with other surfaces, thus a lubricant is used to mitigate wear. In this
research, the effect of lubrication on the wear resistance of low carbon steel and
grey cast iron will be analyzed. A pin-on-disk wear test has been done on both
materials in dry dan lubricated conditions. Two motor oil lubricants (SAE 10W40
& SAE 15W40) was used in this experiment to analyze the effect of lubrication
on wear resistance. The experiment was done by applying 1000 gram of load for
65 minutes on the low carbon steel and gray cast iron speciments in dry and
lubricated conditions. Applying lubricats both on gray cast iron have improved
its wear resistance by 3400%. Whereas the wear resistance of low carbon steel
was improved by 4100%. Deviating from literature, the wear resistance of gray
cast iron was lower than low carbon steel due to the presence of porosity. |
