Primary purpose of any industrial lubricant is to maintain a satisfactory lubricating film in between contacting surfaces; and importance of viscosity to achieve this is univocally known in industrial maintenance practices. However, what is often […]

Leonardo da Vinci as a Tribologist

10.06.2019

Tribology is the science dealing with interactive surfaces in relative motion and includes the study of friction, wear, and lubrication and how these properties affect design. The term tribology was coined in 1966 by Peter [...]
Argonne Embraces Concept of "in operando" Formation of Carbon-based Tribofilms

23.08.2016

Earlier this month, tribologists and physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory published news of their (self-described) “self-healing diamond-like carbon coating [that] could revolutionize lubrication” in the journal Nature. The researchers [...]
Low-temperature steel hardening - a new way

13.04.2018

EU-funded researchers developed a novel process for surface hardening of stainless steel that ensures high hardness with extraordinary corrosion and fatigue resistance properties. Stainless steel is the material of choice in various industries where corrosion [...]

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, the famous Italian engineer, architect, painter, musician, mathematician can also be considered as The First Tribologist! Although the term itself was invented approximately 450 years after Leonardo da Vinci [...]
Superlubricity with Green Lubricant

12.09.2016

Superlubricity is a state of vanishing sliding friction. It has been reported in glycerol/water mixture lubricated contacts, graphene-gold interface, interface in presence of graphene and in other conditions. Increasing number of reports on superlubricity in [...]
