Which risk elevates when lubrication fails in bearings?

💡 Explanation

Hydrodynamic wedge interruption increases, causing metallic contact because viscosity reduction from lubricant breakdown prevents stable film formation; therefore, load transfer path degrades rather than remaining isolated under pressure.
