The presence of water in lubricant oils is a parameter related to the lubricant deterioration, which can be indicative of a serious loss of tribological efficiency and, therefore, an increase in maintenance costs. Likewise, controlling the aging of the lubricant oil is a keynote issue to prevent damage on the lubricated surfaces (e.g. engine pieces). The combination of Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) techniques with Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) result in an easy, simple, fast and non-destructive way for obtaining accurate information about the actual situation of a lubricant oil. The analysis of this ATR-FTIR information using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as well as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) results in the proper classification of lubricant oils regarding the presence/absence of water, age and viscosity. The methodology proposed in this work describes procedures for identifying the deterioration degree of oils with as high as 100% success (aging week) or 97.7% (for viscosity and water presence).

Friction is an unfavourable phenomenon in deep-drawing forming processes because it hinders the deformation processes and causes deterioration of the surface quality of drawpieces. One way to reduce the unfavourable effect of friction in deep-drawing processes is to use lubricants with the addition of hard particles. For this reason, this article presents the results of friction tests of dual-phase HCT600X+Z steel sheets using the flat die strip drawing test.

Ignition of the lubricating fluid in a mechanical system is a highly undesirable and unsafe condition that can arise from the elevated temperatures and pressures to which the lubricant is subjected. It is therefore important to understand the fundamental chemistry behind its ignition to predict and prevent this condition. Lubricating oils, particularly those with a mineral oil base, are very complex mixtures of thousands of hydrocarbons.

This review explores the tribological properties of biosourced lubricants (biolubricants) enhanced by graphene (Gr) and its derivatives and hybrids. Friction and wear at mechanical interfaces are the primary causes of energy loss and machinery degradation, necessitating effective lubrication strategies. Traditional lubricants derived from mineral oils present environmental challenges, leading to an increased interest in biolubricants derived from plant oils and animal fats.

Lubricants are pivotal in mitigating friction and wear between surfaces, ensuring seamless movement of solid objects. However, the predominant use of petroleum-based lubricants in the automotive and industrial ssectors raises substantial concerns for future energy security. The exploration of vegetable oils as an alternative lubricant in the automotive industry was motivated by the depletion of fossil fuels and escalating environmental concerns.
