Extreme pressure lubrication relies on additives that

  • A.adsorb physically without any chemical change
  • B.keep the two surfaces apart by hydrostatic pressure
  • C.react with the metal to form a low-friction film
  • D.raise the viscosity of the base oil sharply

Answer: C

Correct answer: react with the metal to form a low-friction film

Extreme pressure additives contain sulphur, chlorine or phosphorus and react with the metal at the high local temperature of an asperity contact, producing a soft sulphide or phosphide film that shears easily. The reaction is deliberate and localised, occurring only where and when the contact becomes severe.
