Cel
The objective of the LUBRICOAT project is to develop innovative, technologically performant tribological material combinations on the basis of vegetable oil based. lubricants combined with low friction surface coatings. Vegetable oil based lubricants are prone to thermal degradation, hence friction heating limit the lifetime of such environmentally adapted lubricants (EAL). The use of advanced low friction coatings offers an innovative solution to this problem. The result of the LUBRICOAT project will be the identification of application areas where the use of tribological systems making use of environmentally adapted lubricants in combination with solid lubrication is feasible and the optimization of these systems.
The main results at the end of the project are:
- Definition of industrial needs for processes and plants
