boundary film lubrication
1Lubrication — is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in close proximity, and moving relative to each another, by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry the load (pressure… …
2Boundary lubrication — Brief description of lubricationLubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in relative motion to one another by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry… …
3lubrication — See lubricate. * * * Introduction of any of various substances between sliding surfaces to reduce wear and friction. Lubricants may secondarily control corrosion, regulate temperature, electrically insulate, remove contaminants, or damp shock.… …
4boundary lubrication — A phase in lubrication in which a thin film of oil only a few molecules thick separates two rubbing surfaces. It can occur because of a high bearing load, inadequate viscosity, oil starvation, or loss of oil pressure. Boundary lubrication is not… …
5Hydrodynamic lubrication — Hydrodynamic (HD) lubrication (or fluid film lubrication) has essential elements:#A lubricant, which must be a viscous fluid. #Hydrodynamic flow behavior of fluid between bearing and journal. #The surfaces between which the fluid films move must… …
6Plain bearing — Crankshaft plain bearing shells A plain bearing, also known as a plane bearing[1] or a friction bearing[2] is the simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elem …
7Tribology — is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology is a branch of mechanical engineering. Contents 1 Fundamentals 1.1… …
8Oilite — is a bronze or iron alloy impregnated with an oil lubricant commonly used in bearing applications. The original Oilite and Oilite Plus are bronze alloys, but the related bearing alloys Super Oilite and Super Oilite 16 are iron based. The name is… …
9Motor oil — For the TV documentary focused on the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League, see Oil Change (TV Series). Motor oil sample Motor oil or engine oil is an oil used for lubrication of various internal combustion engines. The main function is… …
10Bushing — A mechanical bushing is a cylindrical lining designed to reduce friction and wear inside a hole, or constrict and restrain motion of mechanical parts. Bushing types One type of bushing is the threaded insert , a hardened metal insert with a… …
