Tribology: Friction and Wear of Engineering Materials

Tribology covers the fundamentals of tribology and the tribological response of all types of materials, including metals, ceramics, and polymers. This fully updated book provides a solid scientific foundation without relying on extensive mathematics, an approach that will allow readers to formulate appropriate solutions when faced with practical problems. Topics considered include fundamentals of surface topography and contact, friction, lubrication, and wear. The book also presents up-to-date discussions on environmental issues, hardness and hardness testing (including nanoindentation); frictional heating; lubricant chemistry and surface engineering/coating methods Tribology will be valuable to engineers in the field of tribology, mechanical engineers, physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and students. Provides an excellent general introduction to the friction, wear and lubrication materialsExtensive coverage of tribological test methods with a focus on selection of tests and conditions most appropriate for service conditionsNumerous Case Studies including those on biotribology, brake and clutch materials, cutting tools, materials for resistance to abrasion and erosion INDICE: 1.
