🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties of graphite as a solid lubricant • How grease additives change performance (wear, friction, surface finish) • Difference between abrasive and lubricating/smoothing actions

💭 Think About

• Think about what graphite is used for in mechanical systems: does it usually increase or decrease wear? • If graphite is in tiny particles inside grease, how might it behave between two metal surfaces under pressure? • Could the same additive both change friction and affect surface irregularities?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall whether graphite is known more for lubrication or for abrasion in machinery. • Consider if graphite-filled grease would protect surfaces or grind them. • Ask: in real maintenance practice, what is the main purpose mechanics choose graphite-based greases for?
