Which destructive outcome occurs due to thin-film lubricant breakdown?

💡 Explanation

When the lubricant film thins unevenly, spectral reflectance interference causes variations in thickness which leads to localized dry contact areas causing increased friction and adhesive wear; therefore this occurs rather than reduced fatigue because the mechanism preventing contact is now lost.
