Overview

Excerpt from Lubrication: Cooling, Troubles and Remedies When a lubricating substance, such as oil, grease, or graphite, is put between the two surfaces, it fills the little hollows and forms a thin film, or layer, that prevents the metals from actually touching each other except at the points of the highest ridges. As a result there is less wear, since fewer ridges are torn loose, and this means less friction also. Proper lubrication is the most important factor in the maintenance and operation of any type of mechanically operated appliance. Machinery, as in use today, cannot be operated without lubrication, and will not prove serviceable for any length of time with improper lubrication.
