Maybe.
Any lubricant that doesn't react with the surface coating will work between the blocks. Dry lubricants (soaps, graphite, waxes...etc.) or wet lubricants (oil, glycerine, water, soaps...etc.) work well to varying degrees depending on the materials they lubricate and whether the lubricant and the surfaces react adversely under heat and pressure. Consulting a lubrication specialist, (most lubricant manufacturers consult with customers for the best match), for your best results. PTFE can breakdown under high pressure and high temperatures and usually is not great for high speed high temperature operations but works great at low speed and/or low pressure applications, and it does not react adversely with most materials.

What are the types of friction give eg?

There are several types of friction, namely:Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction between moving surfaces.Fluid friction describes the friction between layers within a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other.Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a fluid separates two solid surfaces.Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a solid body through a fluid.Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making up a solid material while it undergoes deformation.

How is motion affected by friction and how does the law of conservation apply to this?

Friction is a general term applied to the force on something that is applied to it by something that it is moving on or through. If a car is moving along the highway, there is friction between the road and the tires. There is also friction in the wheel bearings. (Lubrication helps limit this.) The friction, the forces between the two things that are moving, appears as heat energy. And by the law of conservation of energy, if something is moving across something else, there will be a bit of energy lost due to friction, but it will have to be conserved - it will have to appear somewhere else because it can't just "disappear" without being accounted for. Friction energy is conserved (law of conservation of energy) and heat results. If someone is doing a project that involves using an abrasive on a material, someone might be sanding wood or metal (or another material). The sandpaper and the material being sanded will get warm as sanding continues. The friction created between the abrasive and the material appears as heat. The energy is conserved; it cannot be lost nor can it simply disappear. Links follow.


Is there friction in your body?

Friction exists in the joints between the bones. Cartilage reduces the drag.Also, blood flowing through the vessels causes friction. That is where we get the blood pressure from.


Can you help me what is like friction?

Friction is a heat generating force directly opposing different planes of movement between two or more bodies in direct contact with each other. The amount of friction present is dependant on the material surface, material mass and plane of movment Friction between bodies may be mimimised ( it can never be completely removed) through lubrication or highly polishing the surfaces in contact. Friction within machinary parts generates excess heat and greatly increases wear. Friction between an aircraft skin and the airflow (also known as drag) slows the aircraft down and increases fuel costs. Friction between the rubber top of a tea trolley and the cups and saucers prevents them slipping around and falling off the trolley whilst in motion, so its not always a negative thing.
