Encyclopedia of Tribology and Lubrication

Encyclopedia of Tribology and Lubrication, Three-Volume Set covers this multidisciplinary field that supports diverse areas of technology in daily life. As there are numerous situations in which rubbing parts must perform reliably over long lifetimes, the book covers materials, lubricants, and surface engineering treatments, along with the numerous choices and challenges that practicing engineers face. This structured resource guides users through proven strategies to reduce erosion friction, abrasion wear, and surface damage while also providing fundamental principles that underlie problems and mitigation.

Data and case studies highlight the rationale for selecting materials, lubricants, and operating conditions, along with tactics on how to apply wear and friction measurements. Finally, standard test methods and supporting techniques, like hardness and surface roughness measuring methodology, are discussed in detail.
