Additionally, the 1.7-litre engines used Nikasil cylinder plating, which required a specific grade of oil (5W30 semi-synthetic) to minimise mechanical wear.

Surface engineering processes are used to minimize wear and extend working life of material.

Martin is not seriously hurt, but he is probably being held out to minimize wear and tear.

This meniscal bearing should allow full congruence at the articular surfaces in all joint positions in order to minimize wear and deformation of the components.

Some renters may also want to avoid exceeding a mileage limit on a leased vehicle or to minimize wear and tear on their own cars.

It minimizes the heat build up and excessive wear that traditional tires experience in this environment and is not suitable for use on pavement.

An inner spiral has also been added to deflect swirling grain from the cyclone's inlet pipe, minimising wear.

This minimizes wear and tear to extend the life of the gear box.

Surface engineering and treatments are used to minimize wear and extend the components working life.

Another design advance in the Model 28 was the use of a new all-steel clutch that uses internal expansion to minimize wear and reduce the need for lubrication.
