Objectives
• Adhesive Wear
– Due to excessive friction asperities weld together and
break off
• Abrasive Wear
– Peaks of one surface and loose particles plow and dig into
the opposing surface, removing material
• Contact Fatigue
– One surface “bumps”
over the other
– Results in spalling
What is viscosity?
1. Lower viscosity
2. Higher viscosity
• Types of lubrication
− Boundary lubrication Low speed / high load
− Mixed-film lubrication
− Fluid Film / Hydrodynamic lubrication
