What is the principle of lubrication? Answer: Lubricants are applied to the friction surfaces of objects, where they act as a lubricating layer. These lubricating layers can be either solid or liquid in nature. The liquid type of lubricating layer is formed by liquid lubricants and functions as an adsorptive lubricating layer; it is also known as an oil film.
The principle of lubrication is to reduce friction; it involves creating a protective film between two surfaces in contact, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact. This helps to mitigate the effects of friction, thereby serving a lubricating function, reducing wear, and ensuring the proper operation of machinery. This protective film can be a physically adsorbed film, a chemically adsorbed film, or an oxide film; the thickness and strength of the film directly affect the lubricating effect.
Lubricants can adhere firmly to the rubbing surfaces of components, forming an oil film. This oil film has a strong bonding force with those rubbing surfaces. The two rubbing surfaces are separated by the lubricant, turning the friction between the components into friction between the molecules of the lubricant itself, thereby reducing the friction and wear between the components.
