Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Cold spray is an effective solid-state process for the fabrication of metal matrix composites
where metallic, ceramic, or intermetallic reinforcements are embedded in a metallic matrix …

Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of
interactions of materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field …

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of
Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic …

The friction and wear behavior of materials are not intrinsic properties, but extrinsic
properties; in other words, they can drastically vary depending on test and environmental …

Silicon carbide ceramics have many outstanding properties like high hardness, high thermal
conductivity, high strength, low density, good electrical conductivity, good chemical …

Recent studies of HVOF-sprayed WC–(W, Cr) 2 C–Ni coatings indicated an applicability at
temperatures above 600° C. Therefore, in the present paper the dry sliding wear behaviour …

Each of the various processes by which material can be lost from a surface in service leaves
its fingerprint both in the topography of the worn surface and in the size, shape and number …

The objective of this study was to develop a theoretical model and associated wear-mode
map to identify the regimes in which two-body abrasion (grooving abrasion) and three-body …

The wear resistance of plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings (Al2O3, Al2O3–13% TiO2, Cr2O3)
has been investigated through pin-on-disk and dry sand-steel wheel tests, has been …
