There has been tremendous interest in the development of different innovative wear
resistant materials, which can help to reduce energy losses resulted from friction and wear …

Tribology is emerging from the realm of steam engines and crank-case lubricants and
becoming key to vital new technologies such as nanotechnology and MEMS. Wear is an …

This work provides readers with practical advice on the selection of wear resistant materials
for specific engineering purposes. Contents include: general review of wear; nature of wear; …

Wear is closely related to friction and lubrication; the study of these three subjects is known
as tribology. In science and technology it is concerned with interacting surfaces in relative …

Annotation Describes the surface properties controlling the wear processes in different
environments, and presents techniques for reducing specific type of wear through …

In our present era of nanoscience and nanotechnology, new materials are poised to take
center stage in dramatically improving friction and wear behavior under extreme conditions …

This new book will be useful not only to practising engineers and scientists, but also to
advanced students interested in wear. It reviews our current understanding of the influence …

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, specifically so-called atomic force/friction
force microscopy (AFM/FFM) are increasingly used for tribological studies of engineering …

Written by a tribological expert with more than thirty years of experience in the field, this
second edition compiles an extensive range of graphs, tables, micrographs, and drawings to …

Tribology: Friction and Wear of Engineering Materials, Second Edition covers the
