The Possibilities of Using Ecological Liquids in Tribological Gliding Systems with a Selected Surface Created by the Radial Welding Technology

Presented paper deals with the issue of lubricating tribological systems formed by a double pair operating under mixed conditions of mixed friction before and after experimental tests, which were conducted in accordance with the selected methodology using Tribotestor M‘06 test machine. The lubricating media included ecological oils Plantohyd 46 S by Fuchs and EAL Hydraulic 46 manufactured by the Mobil company. Applied ecological oils can be used in agricultural mobile machines as a replacement for conventional lubricants. The tests were conducted on designated material double pairs. The shaft was made of steel 16MnCr5. The second observed friction element in terms of glide angle test was a steel plate made of S235JR, gliding surface of which was produced utilizing flame powder coating technology. The results were statistically processed and are presented in the form of graphs, tables and figures.
