Metal-plaque lubricant application problems and prospects

The article covers the current implementation of metal-plaque lubricants. The authors reveal the contribution of the lubricants to stretching the endurance of machines and mechanisms, and analyse the conceptually new metal-plaque lubricant development and application problems in Russia. The article provides a structure of a systematic approach to activities aimed at introducing new methods of friction units longevity improvement, and evaluates the potential of new technologies in metal-plaque lubricant development.
