Wear and Tribology

Corrosion is a process of material removal that involves a chemical reaction between a material and its environment.
Tribology is the study of surfaces moving relative to one another, focusing on friction, wear, and lubrication.
To analyze a wear problem in a machine, it is necessary to determine the type of wear, the wear rate, and the wear mechanisms involved.
The process of material removal from a sliding or rolling component is known as wear.
Adhesive wear is generally proportional to load and the distance of sliding.

Focus of Tribology

The main focus of tribology is to understand and mitigate friction and wear in machines.
The word 'tribology' comes from the Greek words 'tribos', meaning rubbing, and 'logos', meaning study.
The function of lubrication in tribology is to reduce friction and wear between surfaces in contact.
In the mining industry, processes of friction and wear are commonly found in components like crushers and grinding balls.

Applications of Tribology

Components like brakes and clutches are designed to have high sliding resistance.
Manufacturing processes, such as machining and metal forming, rely on tribology to reduce wear and friction.
Machine elements, such as bearings and gear teeth, are subject to friction and wear.
The main focus of tribology in construction and exploration equipment is to reduce wear and extend the lifespan of components.
The main goal of transportation methods in relation to tribology is to reduce friction and increase efficiency.

Test your knowledge of tribological surface failures, friction, wear, lubricants, types of wear, and design against wear failures in Chapter 6 of Wear and Design Against Wear Failure. This quiz covers topics taught by Dr. Reham Reda Abbas.
