Abstract;Although the conventional oils that based on mineral oil have used widely in the current industry fields, the waste of the oils has induced the severe pollution in ocean. Recently, biodegradable oils that could be disposed by bacteria have been developed to decrease the pollution because these biodegradable oils have based on synthetic esters or vegetable oils. However, it has been seldom carried out to estimate the lubrication performance of these oils that developed for conventional machine oils, engine oils, hydraulic fluids and cutting oils, etc. To estimate summary a fundamental lubrication performance of biodegradable oils and lubricants for the food machines of commercial oils, a four-ball test was carried out in this study. Consequently, the effects of oiliness and/or additives of biodegradable oils on contribution of lubricating performance were discussed and also it was clarified that biodegradable oil had better lubricating performance under low sliding condition than conventional mineral oils.
