Which outcome occurs when lubrication viscosity decreases excessively in high-speed bearings?

💡 Explanation

Reduced viscosity causes increased adhesive wear because the thinner lubricant leads to increased contact and friction between surfaces; boundary lubrication regimes dominate, therefore scuffing and material transfer become problematic rather than maintaining a separating fluid film.
