Tribology is emerging from the realm of steam engines and
crank-case lubricants and becoming key to vital new technologies
such as nanotechnology and MEMS. Wear is an integral part of
tribology, and an effective understanding and appreciation of wear
is essential in order to achieve the reliable and efficient
operation of almost any machine or device. Knowledge in the field
has increased considerably over recent years, and continues to
expand: this book is intended to stimulate its readers to
contribute towards the progress of this fascinating subject that
relates to most of the known disciplines in physical science.
"Wear - Materials, Mechanisms and Practice" provides the reader
with a unique insight into our current understanding of wear, based
on the contributions of numerous internationally acclaimed
specialists in the field. Offers a comprehensive review of current
knowledge in the field of wear. Discusses latest topics in wear
mechanism classification. Includes coverage of a wide variety of
materials such as metals, polymers, polymer composites, diamonds,
and diamond-like films and ceramics. Discusses the chemo-mechanical
linkages that control tribology, providing a more complete
treatment of the subject than just the conventional mechanical
treatments. Illustrated throughout with carefully compiled diagrams
that provide a unique insight into the controlling mechanisms of
tribology.
The state of the art research on wear and the mechanisms of
wear featured will be of interest to post-graduate students and
lecturers in engineering, materials science and chemistry. The
practical applications discussed will appeal to practitioners
across virtually all sectors of engineeringand industry including
electronic, mechanical and electrical, quality and reliability and
design.
