This book is intended to help readers reduce the unwanted costs and
ramifications of friction, wear, and erosion in tribosystems by
recommending engineering materials that have proven to be
successful in dealing with these issues. Recommendations on which
tool materials work best, what are the most abrasion-resistant
plastics, where should ceramics be used, and where do lubrication
and coatings fit in are included. The purpose of the book is to
offer engineering material suggestions that practicing material
engineers have found to work in many applications based on more
than 40 years of research and testing of tribomaterials. The first
few chapters review the fundamentals of friction and how to deal
with friction in design. The following chapters describe types of
erosion and wear and the tests that are used to screen candidate
material. All the important engineering materials (steels, cast
irons, copper alloys, stainless steels, plastics/elastomer, and
ceramics) receive a chapter describing their tribological
characteristics and results of lab testing on candidates for
applications. Surface engineering to alter contact surfaces is
addressed. The book ends with a chapter on the use of lubricants to
reduce friction and wear and a chapter on biotribology that
summarizes important concepts and studies dealing with friction and
wear in biological systems. The last chapter discusses the
methodology of selecting materials for use in tribosystems. This
book is purposely written in a conversational style making it
accessible to anybody who has a friction, wear, erosion, or
lubrication issue that needs to be addressed. There are questions
at the end of each chapter for those who would like to teach an
engineering course on tribomaterials. The book is also a source of
another lab's (Bud Labs) test results for review by tribology
researchers.
