Function of lubricants Although a lubricant primarily controls friction and ordinarily does perform numerous other functions, which vary with the application and usually are interrelated . Friction control. The amount and character of the lubricant made available to sliding surfaces have a profound effect upon the friction that is encountered. For example, disregarding such related factors as heat and wear but considering friction alone between the same surfaces with on lubricant. Under fluidfilm conditions, friction is encountered. In a great range of viscosities and thus can satisfy a broad spectrum of functional requirements. Under boundary lubrication conditions , the effect of viscosity on friction bees less significant than the chemical nature of the lubricant. Wear control. wear occurs on lubricated surfaces by abrasion, corrosion ,and solidtosolid contact wear by providing a film that increases the distance between the sliding surfaces ,thereby lessening the damage by abrasive contaminants and surface asperities. Temperature control. Lubricants assist in controlling corrosion of the surfaces themselves is twofold. When machinery is idle, the lubricant acts as a preservative. When machinery is in use, the lubricant controls corrosion by coating lubricated parts with a protective film that may contain additives to neutralize corrosive materials. The ability of a lubricant to control corrosion is directly relatly to the thickness of the lubricant film remaining on the metal surfaces and the chermical position of the lubricant. Other functions Lubrication are frequently used for purposes other than the reduction of friction. Some of these applications are described below. Power transmission. Lubricants are widely employed as hydraulic fluids in fluid transmission devices. Insulation. In specialized applications such as transformers and switchgear , lubricants with high 5 dielectric constants acts as electrical insulators. For maximum insulating properties, a lubricant must be kept free of contaminants and water. Shock dampening. Lubricants act as shockdampening fluids in energy transferring devices such as shock absorbers and around machine parts such as gears that are subjected to high intermittent loads. Sealing. Lubricating grease frequently performs the special
