Abstract :
A comparison of the Mechanical Properties (Yield Stress, Yield Strain, Ultimate Stress, Breaking Stress, Breaking Strain, Percentage Elongation and Percentage Reduction in Area) of drawn Aluminium wires using the standard industrial lubricant (Sodium Stearate Solution) and three available fatty oils (Palm Oil, Cotton Seed Oil and Shear Butter) was carried out. The results show that the locally available fatty oils produce wires with higher strain-hardening, ductility and malleability than those of the standard lubricant. They also show that Cotton Seed Oil is the best lubricant among the three locally available fatty oils investigated.
