Predicting the size of wear particles

21.11.2016 TriboNet

A wear process results in the generation of particles, of various size, shape, color and chemical composition. The reported size of wear particles varies from mm scale, which is typically attributed to severe wear, to […]

Adhesive Wear Particles Generation: by Fracture or Atom-by-Atom?

01.08.2016 Aydar Akchurin

The most famous equation to predict wear known probably to everyone working in the field of tribology is Archard’s model (1953). The model assumes that wear occurs through the fracture of plastically deformed material and […]

Tribology on the Small Scale: A Modern Textbook on Friction, Lubrication, and Wear

04.12.2019

In recent decades, tribology field has seen a great interest in friction and wear processes occurring at the micro- and nanoscale. This interest has led to the development of a new branch of tribology focusing on the small [...]

Antiwear tribofilm growth – AFM study

14.03.2016

In a wide range of tribological components, the lubricant is not capable of separating the surfaces and areas of metal-to-metal contact occurs. However, the metal-to-metal contact area can be minimized by the action of additives, [...]
