    Lubricants are substances introduced between moving surfaces to reduce friction and wear. They are usually 90% base oil and 10% additives. Lubricants are used to keep parts apart, reduce friction, transfer heat, carry away debris, transmit power and motion, and prevent corrosion and wear. The main types are gaseous, liquid, solid, and semi-solid lubricants. Lubricants prevent machine damage and abrasion while enabling heat and power transfer, but can make areas dirty, waste energy, and increase costs if old oils are used.

    LUBRI
    INTRODUCTION
    A lubricant is a substance that is
    introduced between two moving
    surfaces to reduce friction
    between them, improving
    efficiency and reducing wear.

    USES OF LUBRICANTS
    Lubricants have the following uses:

    Keep moving parts apart


    Reduce friction
    Transfer heat
    Carry away contaminants and debris
    Transmit power and motion
    Protect against wear
    Prevent corrosion

    TYPES OF LUBRICANTS
    Gaseous lubricant - Have much lower viscosity and higher
    compressibility compared to liquids.

    Liquid lubricant - Lanolin, mineral oils, vegetable oils etc are


    common types.

    Solid lubricant - Graphite powder, molybdenum disulphide, Teflon


    tape, Teflon etc.

    Semi-solid lubricant - Greases are semi-solid lubricants.

    Some of the brands of lubricants available in the market


    Advantages of lubricants
    • It prevents the machine
    parts from damage and
    abrasion.

    • It helps in transmission of
    heat and power.

    • It prevents wear and tear of


    the machine parts.

    Disadvantages of lubricants
    • Liquid lubricants make the
    working area dirty.

    • It wastes a lot of power and


    energy.

    • Sometimes use of old and


    used oils can be dangerous.

    •It charges extra cost.
