Which wear pattern results when bronze bearings lack lubrication?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient lubricant drastically increases abrasive wear because surface asperities directly contact during rotation thereby increasing friction and material removal. Therefore abrasive wear rises rapidly, rather than reducing corrosion or crack formation within the bronze bearing’s material.
