Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Lubrication is a procedure that involves the use of a chemical called lubricant to reduce
wear on surfaces that are in relative motion with each other. It aids in the transmission of …

Texturing of the surface is a technique to form the surfaces of the desired pattern. It is
extensively used to alter the mechanical and tribological properties, such as increased …

Surface textures have been of great interest within the tribology community with nearly 1500
papers published on this topic in the past two decades. With the pursuit of low emissions …

Surface texture is one of the hot spots in the field of surface tribology. It promotes friction by
storing lubricating oil and abrasive particles, and in some cases it can also improve …

The tribological characteristics of sliding surfaces have been remarkably improved by
surface texturing. Surface texturing can be beneficial in many ways; for example, it can …

Micro-textured surfaces are widely used in aerospace, electronics, biomedical, optics and
other fields due to their excellent properties. By now there are many ways to obtain the …

Laser cladding is a promising photon-based surface engineering technique broadly utilized
for fabricating harder and wear resistant composite coatings. In spite of excellent properties …

Aluminum (Al) and its alloys have widespread engineering applications because of their
higher strength to weight ratio, ductility, and formability. However, in various applications …

In view of increasing accuracy requirements and difficult machining characteristics of silicon
carbide materials, this paper proposes new machining method with ultra-high precision …
