Hereto, blends of palm (PO) and canola (CO) oil were crystallized through slow, medium and fast cooling to induce microstructural variations. The crystalline phase at 35°C was characterized and linked to the sample’s rheological and tribological behavior. The solid fat content (SFC) at 35°C was proportionate with the PO level, presenting as particles of various sizes and distinct shapes as revealed through light and electron microscopy. The crystalline fraction impacted the rheological behavior, as demonstrated by the non-Newtonian behavior controlled by the sample’s SFC. The Stribeck curves obtained from tribological analysis showed significant differences between samples, predominantly in the boundary and mixed regime. A novel approach was proposed to interpret the tribological data, which was based on fitting of power functions and evaluation of lubrication regime areas, with the former allowing for the quantification of the progression of friction factors in the lubrication regimes. Tribological behavior was affected by various factors depending on the lubrication regime, including SFC, rheological parameters as well as particle size.
