abstract = "Research is presented on tribological effects of lubricant contamination with biofuels. Mixtures of SAE 15W40 mineral oil, which were contaminated by known percentages of biodiesel from canola oil, peanut oil, soybean oil and chicken fat, were tested in a pin-on-disk tribometer. This study used a contact of AISII018 steel disk material and of AISI316 bearing-grade stainless steel for ball material, the assumption made that most of material loss would happen on the softer disk surface. Data of force of friction and contact temperatures were acquired, while wear was estimated by direct weight loss method. Changes in mixture viscosity also were measured for tested percentages. Obtained results are discussed as baseline for further engine studies in a renewable energy multidisciplinary approach on biofuels and biolubes.",
