Description:
Lubrication is simply the use of a material to improve the smoothness if movement of one surface over another; the material which is used in this way is called a lubricant. Lubricants are usually liquids or semi-liquids, but may be solids or gases or any combination of solids, liquids, and gases.
Lubricant is a substance which is used to control (more often to reduce) friction and wear of the surfaces in a contact of the bodies in relative motion. Depending on its nature, lubricants are also used to eliminate heat and wear debris, supply additives into the contact, transmit power, protect, seal. A lubricant can be in liquid (oil, water, etc.), solid (graphite, graphene, and molybdenum disulfide), gaseous (air) or even semisolid (grease) forms. Most of the lubricants contain additives (5-30%) to improve their performance.
Lubricating oil creates a separating film between surfaces of adjacent moving parts to minimize direct contact between them, decreasing heat caused by friction and reducing wear. Lubricating oils are specially formulated oils that reduce friction between moving parts and help maintain mechanical parts. Lubricating oil is a thick fatty oil used to make the parts of a machine move smoothly.
Lubricating oil, sometimes simply called lubricant/lube, is a class of oils used to reduce the friction, heat, and wear between mechanical components that are in contact with each other. Lubricating oil is used in motorized vehicles, where it is known specifically as motor oil and transmission fluid.
Applications of Lubricants:
Lubricants are primarily used to reduce friction stress between surfaces. They have the following uses:
•As antiwear, antioxidants, and antifoaming agents.
•As demulsifying and emulsifying agents.
•As rust and corrosion inhibitors.
•In machinery as engine oils, compressor oils, gear oils, and piston oils.
•As hydraulic, brake, and gear box fluids.
•Used in the soap and paint industries.
•Some specific uses of certain variants of lubricants are:
•Synthetic lubricants are used in turbines, vacuum pumps, and semiconductor devices.
•Molybdenum is used as a paint pigment and as a catalyst.
•Liquid lubricants are used in medicines.
