under conditions of heavy load and low speed a thick film of lubricant cannot work ,under these conditions,boundary lubrication occurs.in other words ,this type of lubrication cannot persist ,and metal metal direct contact is possible for some reasons.such a situation develops when 1)the viscosity of oil is low 2)the load is fairly high 3)the viscosity of oil is low 4)a shaft starts moving from rest

What does Boundary lubrication mean?

Boundary lubrication is a lubrication regime where the lubricant film is insufficient to fully separate two surfaces in relative motion, leading to direct metal-to-metal contact. This results in increased friction and wear. Boundary lubricants are often used to provide protection in situations where full fluid film lubrication is not achievable.

Are lubricants used to dampen rough surfaces?

Lubricant are not used to dampen rough surfaces. They are used to smoothen the surfaces. They reduce friction through the slippery lubricants on the surfaces.


What are the three general types of lubricants?

The three general types of lubricants are liquid lubricants, semi-solid lubricants, and solid lubricants. Liquid lubricants, such as oils, provide fluid film protection and are commonly used in engines and machinery. Semi-solid lubricants, like greases, combine oil with a thickening agent to provide longer-lasting lubrication, particularly in applications where oil may drain away. Solid lubricants, such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide, are used in extreme conditions where liquid lubricants may fail, offering low-friction properties in high-temperature or high-load environments.
