Tribology, Lubrication, and Surface Engineering

Tribology is a multidisciplinary science that encompasses mechanical engineering, materials science, surface engineering, lubricants, and additives chemistry with tremendous applications. The development of high performance in different material pairs such as metal-metal, ceramic-ceramic, ceramic-polymer and metal-polymer composites is essential to enhancing tribology behaviour. Tribology, Lubrication, and Surface Engineering: Research and Applications, Two-Volume Set provides a systematic and comprehensive account of recent developments and applications in this area. Reviews emerging technologies, industrial tribology, and characterization of surface engineering and coatings Discusses how tribology works for machine elements and manufacturing processes Describes the mechanism that drives micro- and nanotribology Covers tribochemistry, tribocorrosion, green tribology, and biotribology Highlights applications and future perspectives Written for researchers and advanced students, this book encompasses a wide-ranging view of the latest in tribology, lubrication, and surface engineering for a variety of cross-disciplinary applications.
