Friction, wear, and erosion are major issues in mechanical
engineering and materials science, resulting in major costs to
businesses operating in the automotive, biomedical,
petroleum/oil/gas, and structural engineering industries. The good
news is, by understanding what friction, wear, or erosion mode
predominates in a mechanism or device, you can take action to
prevent its costly failure. Seeing Is Believing Containing nearly
300 photos of component failures, macro- and micrographs of surface
damage, and schematics on material removal mechanisms collected
over 50 years of tribology consulting and research, Friction, Wear,
and Erosion Atlas is a must-have quick reference for tribology
professionals and laymen alike. Complete with detailed explanations
of every friction, wear, and erosion process, the atlas' catalog of
images is supported by a wealth of practical guidance on:
Diagnosing the specific causes of part failure Identifying popular
modes of wear, including rolling and impact, with a special
emphasis on adhesion and abrasion Understanding manifestations of
friction, such as force traces from a laboratory test rig for a
variety of test couples Recognizing liquid droplet, solid particle,
slurry, equal impingement, and cavitation modes of erosion
Developing solutions to process-limiting problems Featuring a
glossary of tribology terms and definitions, as well as hundreds of
visual representations, Friction, Wear, and Erosion Atlas is both
user friendly and useful. It not only raises awareness of the
importance of tribology, but provides guidance for how designers
can proactively mitigate tribology concerns.
