Abstract
Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) composites acts as a potential solid lubricant are used to increase the service life of machining and equipment where oil and grease cannot be used. Raw material of Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) composites were extract from kernel shell of palm oils tree. The kernel shell undergoing a long process of oxidation before activated carbon achived The interest based on porous carbon also known as activated carbon exhibited its potential for acts as a self-lubricating material for the reduction of friction and wear behaviors. In this project, the effects of sliding speed on friction and wear behaviors of Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) composite under unlubricated condition will be investigated. The sample of Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) composites was prepared by using hot compaction technique, then tribological test was carried out by using a pin-on-disc tribometer with a constant load, temperature, unlubricated condition, with varying sliding speed. After that, surface morphology observed under the inverted microscope. Coefficient of friction and specific wear rate will be observed after carry parametric testing, in order to know optimum sliding speed of Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) composites with unlubricated conditions. From the research, Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy have huge potential in composites industry that tends to give new composites that have a low coefficient of friction and low wear rate properties. It suitable as solid lubricant in mechanical application that need a low coefficient of friction and low wear rate properties at sliding speed at range 500RPM – 2000RPM operating at room temperature.
