Future Scope of Marine Gear Lubrication Industry
Lubrication is the process or technique of using a lubricant to reduce friction and wear when two surfaces come into contact. The study of lubrication is a discipline in the field of tribology. Lubricants can be solids (such as molybdenum disulfide MoS2), solid / liquid dispersions (such as fat), liquids (such as oil or water), liquid-liquid dispersions [citation required] or gases.Get Sample PDF

Depending on the degree of surface separation, different lubrication conditions can be distinguished.
Adequate lubrication enables smooth, continuous operation of the machine elements, reduces the rate of wear and tear and prevents excessive stress or seizure on the bearings. If lubrication fails, the components can rub against each other destructively, causing heat, local welding, destructive damage and failure.
