Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study the friction and wear characteristics ATF oil added with Zirconia Oxide (ZrO2) on local palm oil for automotive application.The objectives are to determine the coefficient of friction, wear scar diameter and the viscosity of the samples with a different ratio of ATF oil,Palm oil,and Zirconia Oxide. The sample was blended together by using the ultrasonic homogenizer.Then,tribological testing was conducted using a four-ball tester according to ASTM Standard D4172 to gain the coefficient of friction value.The wear scar surface was analyzed by using the scanning electron machine (SEM) and the sample viscosity was conduct by using Brookfield Viscometer according to standard ASTM D2983.The result was analyzed and tabulated.The result shows that the lowest COF and WSD is from the 0.6 and 0.7 vol% ZrO2 added.The COF and WSD graph showed that the trend is gradually decreasing with the addition of ZrO2 in each sample.Besides that,the viscosity reading at 40°C is not many changes but at 100°C,the viscosity is gradually increased.
