This book compiles the fundamentals of friction in manufacturing processes, and the application of tribology in advanced manufacturing. Covering topics such as 3D printing, green lubrication, laser sintering and industry 4.0, the book enables cost effective and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. Reducing energy consumption, production time and cost and improving plant productivity, sustainable tribology is a key part of modern manufacturing processes. With a key focus on broadening the application of tribology in sustainable manufacturing, the book integrates cutting edge research from international contributors. Topics included involve machine learning, micro-machining, friction stir welding and metal forming. It also discusses the tribological properties of advanced materials and coatings, and how to model tribology in manufacturing processes. This book will be of interest to engineers and students in the field of machining, tribology, additive manufacturing, surface engineering and coating.

This book is a compilation of selected papers presented at the 3rd Malaysian International Tribology Conference (MITC 2020) held in Langkawi, Malaysia, September 28-30, 2020. The book presents the advancement in the field of tribology and is divided into main topics such as bearing design, biotribology, dry friction and wear, green tribology, green lubricant, lubricant and fuel, surface engineering. The contents of this book appeal globally to scientists, scholars, engineers, and students from universities, research institutions, and industries working in the field of tribology.
