relubrication
Another coat applied
Relubrication is the act of applying lubricant again to machinery, joints, or mechanisms that have lost their original coating through use or time.
Regular relubrication prevents wear and extends equipment life: The maintenance schedule calls for relubrication every six months.
The term appears mainly in industrial and mechanical contexts.
