Abstract

Palm kernel activated carbon (PKAC) give a new light as a new raw material use as lubricant. Palm kernel activated carbon epoxy composite as a new solid lubricant used in industry. There is less research how the PKAC-E can with stand the effect as a lubricant. Tribology test were carried out to achieve a new data of PKACE composite. Friction and wear test will determine how good PKAC-E composite to be use in industry. This research focus on effect of sliding speed on tribological properties of elevated temperature PKAC-E composite by using Pin-on-Disk laboratory. At high temperature how the PKAC-E composite will react to the different of speed as solid lubricant. The specimen of PKAC-E formed as cylinder pin using mold provided using compacting technique. The Tribology test carried out using Pin-On-Disk laboratory experiment with constant load, constant distance travel and constant high temperature (140oC) with varying sliding speed. The surface morphology observed in order to know the effect on both specimen and disk under inverted microscope. From the research, Palm Kernel Activated Carbon-Epoxy (PKAC-E) gives new composite properties that has low coefficient of friction and wear rate. As the experiment done, PKACE-E composite give the new light in the industry as the composite that can be used as new solid lubricant.
