ABSTRACT
Aluminium
billets of ratios (1.0476 and 1.0952) were extruded using oil extracts from
eucalyptus,neemand mango seed as lubricants to measure the deformation stress
and temperature variation.The results obtained showed that temperature of the
process is not entirely dependent on stress but rather on the type of lubricant
used. This is evidenced from the poor performance of eucalyptus oil in stress
reduction but better performance than the other lubricants in terms of
temperature reduction.Neem oil which exhibited a very good quality could be
used with the addition of suitable additives to produce lubricant for extrusion
of aluminium.
Keywords: Temperature reduction, Stress reduction, Eucalyptus oil, neem oil, Mango oil, Extrusion
