Controlling Key Wear Mechanisms
Learning Point Takeaways:
1) The #1 wear mechanism is abrasion, with 3-body abrasion being the most common form.
2) Lubricant film strength can be weakened by several factors - air, moisture, heat, etc.
3) Great lubrication may not require a great lubricant, focus on good practices that follow the 5 R's.
