Introduction: Metal surfaces, particularly those of steels, require unique surface treatments to achieve the appropriate properties. Although there are several surface treatment procedures, surface coating techniques are the most popular. Coatings can provide a wide variety of qualities, […]
Definition Surface roughness is defined as the irregularities which are inherent in the production process (e.g., cutting tool or abrasive grit). It may be the result of vibrations, chatter, or work deflections and strains in […]
Introduction The surfaces that undergo friction wear and are lubricated in the mechanical components are called tribological surfaces. These surfaces have different surface topography depending on the type of applications. Most commonly tribological surfaces are […]
Introduction The lubrication regime that occurs due to the elastic deformation of the lubricated contacts is the elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime. This lubrication regime is important for all lubrication regimes to understand because of its application […]
Introduction The lubrication in any regimes at the contact interface of any mechanical components is very important because they are capable of controlling the tribological properties such as friction and wear of the interacting surfaces. […]
Hydrodynamic Lubrication: Lubrication in any system at a sliding interface can be classified based on the amount of lubricant present at the interface. According to the stribeck curve (the plot of coefficient of friction (COF) […]
Definition: Fretting wear is a type of wear that is caused due to many cycles of the short amplitude reciprocating sliding movement at the interface of the material. The fretting wear causes severe damage causing […]
Background: The lubrication regimes at the contact interface in any mechanical components are very important to be studied because it determines the efficiency of the components. The type of regime determines the tribological properties of […]
The lubricating oil inside the engine will ensure that all moving parts inside the engine are properly lubricated and safe. When the oil flows through the open spaces within your engine, pressure builds up. This […]
Definition: The wear debris are the particles that regenerated at the interface of the two contacting surfaces in motion due to the rubbing of the interfacial layers on the material surface. The wear debris are […]
