lubricating film

Hard chrome is well known as possessing a self healing lubricating film.

Another problem concerns the hydrogenate attack on the lubricating film in reciprocating engines.

By carefully selecting the lubricating film, the substance chemically repelled other liquids.

One of the most important properties of motor oil in maintaining a lubricating film between moving parts is its viscosity.

Although anodizing only has moderate wear resistance, the deeper pores can better retain a lubricating film than a smooth surface would.

The viscosity must be high enough to maintain a lubricating film, but low enough that the oil can flow around the engine parts under all conditions.

The boundary layer shields and the oil film act as thermal insulation, leading to a low temperature of the lubricating film (max.

Professor Aizenberg added: "The lubricating film is locked in place so it does not mix with liquids placed on the surface.

Gillette contends that the strip, made of polyethylene oxide, partly dissolves in water and leaves a lubricating film on the face, providing a more comfortable shave.

I snarled, rammed my hands hard against the floor and wall, and heaved-and felt my lacerated back slip along the stone, sliding on a lubricating film of blood.

The scientists copied the plant by immobilising a "lubricating film" inside the pores of a sponge-like layer of Teflon to produce a smooth and highly slippery surface.

As the layer becomes progressively drier it becomes less easy to deform, and forms more of a solid plug than a soft lubricating film between cap and jar.

Another important change is that the eyes become dryer, as less tears are produced and the constituents change so they're less efficient at forming a protective lubricating film across the eye.

Hydrodynamic lubrication is where the motion of the contacting surfaces, and the exact design of the bearing is used to pump lubricant around the bearing to maintain the lubricating film.

ZDDP starts decomposing at 130-170 C, while the activation temperature of TCP typically exceeds 200 C. Their reaction products form a chemically bonded lubricating film on the surfaces.
