About this document
Film-Forming Additives in Lubrication by Rohan Sinha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses three types of lubrication: 1) Fluid film or thick-layer lubrication where a thick film of lubricant separates surfaces to reduce friction. Hydrocarbon oils are commonly used and should have low viscosity while keeping surfaces separated. This type is used in light machines. 2) Boundary lubrication uses a thin film where direct contact is possible. Vegetable and animal oils are often used as they adsorb to metal surfaces. Molecules should spread and attach laterally to metals. 3) Ex
