What Is The Use Of Lubricants? What Are Their Types?
Lubricants are used to control or reduce friction between two bodies in relative motion to prevent heat generation and wear of surfaces in contact. In industries, lubricants improve the efficiency of machine by eliminating any residues collected on mechanical parts and by increasing their shelf-life of the mechanical parts. Lubricants possess thermal stability, high viscosity index, low freezing point and corrosion-prevention properties.
