Abstract |
|
It is known since ages that oils and greases reduce the friction between sliding surfaces, by filling the surface cavities and making the surfaces smoother. Action of liquids/greases known as lubrication. In other words, lubrication is a process by which the friction and wear rates in a moving contact are reduced by using suitable lubricant. Lubricant is a substance introduced between relatively moving parts to reduce friction (μ = 0.1 to 0.0001) and wear rate. The progress in scientific research indicated that reduction in friction occurs due to decrease in adhesion component of friction compared to abrasion component of friction. Almost every relatively moving component in an assembly requires lubricant. |
