In this study, an investigation has been carried out to examine the tribological features of Rice bran oil (RBO) based biodiesel as an agent to improve lubricity. RBOB was successfully generated by the means of transesterification and the studied fuels were pure biodiesel (RBOB100), 10% (RBOB10), 30% (RBOB30), and 50% (RBOB50) of biodiesel combined with diesel and pure diesel (RBOB0). Examination in agreement with the ASTM D 4172 method was carried out under following conditions for all examined fuels: a constant load of 40 kg, a steady sliding speed of 1200 rpm, a constant temperature of 75°C and a reaction time of 3600 s. Frictional torque was recorded on line in the course of wear examination. Optical microscopy was implemented to investigate the wear scars of tested balls. Result showed that friction diminished with the decrease of biodiesel concentration. Moreover, formation of wear scars increased with increasing the biodiesel concentration. It could be concluded that lubricity decreases due to increasing the biodiesel concentration. Surface morphology analysis showed that pure biodiesel and diesel formed adhesive wears. However, all the wears formed by biodiesel-diesel blends were fallen into the abrasive wear group.
