Lubrication engineering

Lubrication engineering is the study and application of materials that reduce friction between moving parts in machinery and equipment. It involves selecting the right lubricants, such as oils and greases, to ensure smooth operation, reduce wear, and prevent overheating. Proper lubrication improves efficiency and extends the lifespan of mechanical systems, from engines to industrial machinery. Engineers in this field analyze factors like temperature, load, and environmental conditions to recommend the best lubrication solutions, ultimately supporting reliable performance and safety in various applications, from automotive to aerospace.
