Tribology is the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion and of related subjects and practices. Earlier application of tribology was only limited to automotive industry but continuous research into field has opened new areas […]
The very nature of tribology makes it lean towards operational thinking in contrast to strategic thinking – it is one major reason tribology is absent in executive suites around the world. Operational thinking applies to […]
Introduction Metal forming is a manufacturing process in which forces are applied on raw material such that stresses induced in the material are greater than yield stress and less than ultimate stress. The material experiences […]
The quest to find some new interesting topic to write about tribology, ended few days back when I came across an image with a tag “ROCK TRIBOLOGY”. A few clicks here and there on Google […]
Corrosion as a phenomenon seems pretty common to us, yet it consume 6.2% GDP of the USA yearly. It is estimated that more than a whooping $270 billion dollars are spent in various ways to […]
