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 […]
Why to use food grade lubricants? The food processing industry relies on food grade lubricants and like any other industries has seen challenging times. With retailers constantly squeezing down prices to become highly competitive, growing […]
In technical terminology, a slurry is a mixture of solid particles in a liquid that can be readily pumped. The following article describes the use of tribology in understanding slurry-related wear prevalent in drilling operations. […]
What is Tribology: Video Explanation According to Sciencedirect, tribology is a science that studies the friction and wear of machine components and mechanisms. The results of the scientific activity of tribologists relate to the phenomena […]
What is the link between a grain silo, a nylon sleeping bag and a flying helicopter? They can all accumulate triboelectric charges! The charges accumulate because the materials in relative motion are insulating materials (respectively […]
Electric vehicle technology has been considered as one of the most important upcoming technologies in the present world. There is most definitely a crucial reason for this consideration and this is not solely relying on […]
Electric vehicles are arguably one of the most important inventions of our times. Aiming to lower carbon emissions and to reduce additional harmful effects on our environment, these machines are designed with innovation and precision […]
We rely on sharp blades in our daily lives for domestic purposes, medical use, the food and catering sector, agricultural and industrial applications and everything in between. There are no corners of our society that […]
Tribology is largely concerned with understanding of the (friction) forces acting at the interface between objects moving against each other (Menezes et al., 2013). Over the recent years there has been significant progress in understanding […]
Friction and wear have long been a focus of scientists, researchers, engineers, and industries around the world. The common goal is to maximize profits, however, the environmental impact becomes even more important. Wear and friction […]
