INDUSTRIAL LUBRICATION
ABSTRACT
Lubrication is the process of reducing friction. Friction is the key work in understanding lubrication. Friction has been defined as the force interposed between contacting surfaces of two bodies and resists motion of one body relative to the other. Another words friction is the resistance felt when rubbing one body against another. How is friction actually caused ? If any metal surface no matter how smooth is observed through a microscope the surface will be seen to be jagged. This the basic cause of friction. Since when two metal surfaces which slide against retarding smooth sliding action. Weak is caused when the jagged edges break off and if the edges continue to wear, deterioration of the metal surface takes place. Lubrication is simply defined as the science of reducing friction by the instruction for suitable friction reducing substances between the rubbing surfaces of bodies having relative motion. Lubricants dot the lubrication. These many grease oil or lubricants which provides the temporary lubrication for the maintenance industry. But it does not lubricate the machine poot. From the damage of friction and wear for a long period. This is called the ordinary oil or grease or lubricants. Ordinary lubricants have the napthanic base which cause to acid wear, frictional wear.
