Review: Tribology deals with friction, lubrication and wear in mechanical contact situations. The collection of papers in this book outlines the current tribological practices in areas such as condition monitoring, lubrication, and coatings and materials. The authors also stress the concept of ‘total tribology’, considering the total design concept over the lifetime of a product. This involves concept, design, manufacture, use, storage and disposal of the engineering components, complete systems and consumables. The book includes the principles, concepts and trends as well as practice (manufacturing and transport powerplant).
