Solid lubricants and their applications
We all know what is lubricants & why is it used used for. Here, Graphite & Molybdenum disulphide are solid lubricants. State where are there lubricants used & how they differ from other lubricant i.e, from semi-solid - liquid lubricants.

Kaustubh KatdareNote: Please provide appropriate titles to your discussions. I've changed the title from 'Lubricants' to something that makes more sense. 😀 A good title helps attracting more replies and readers quickly know what the discussion is about.

Viswanathan ChockalingamSolid lubricant is used to reduce Friction in places where the temperature is too high, that a liquid lubricant can loose its properties.
Generally used solid lubricants/Dry lubricants are graphite,Molybdenum disulfide, Hexagonal Boron nitride, Tungsten disulfide.
They have layered structures, Heat bearing capabilities, shock absorbing capabilities, etc.,
Graphite flakes in Cast Iron acts as a lubricants and so lubricants are not used while machining cast iron.Used in Air Compressor, food industry, railway track joints, open gear, Ball Bearing, machine-shop works, etc.
Molybdenum disulfide and Hexagonal Boron nitride are used in space. -

---- Graphite flakes usage as lubricant in cast iron machining is indeed a new info for me . Thank youViswanathan CSolid lubricant is used to reduce Friction in places where the temperature is too high, that a liquid lubricant can loose its properties.
