The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

With the significant penetration of wind generation, wind turbines require higher and higher
lubrication performance for bearings. To improve the lubrication performance of wind power …

The excellent wear and corrosion resistance of Co-based alloys make them desirable for
tribological applications in the nuclear industry. However, neutron activation of the Co-based …

Conventional methods for generating Gaussian random surfaces, including the moving
average (MA) time series model with nonlinear conjugate gradient method (NCGM), two …

Industrial lubricants enhance the performance of machinery by reducing the generated wear
and friction among mechanical components. In many of these applications, lubrication under …

Friction and wear are unavoidable in mechanical movement. The use of lubricants with nano-
additives can effectively reduce friction and wear, which is of great significance to saving …

Tribological performance of systems in boundary lubrication is dependent on contact and
lubricant conditions such as temperature, lubricant additive concentration, surface …

Boundary lubrication state may dominate the friction pairs operating under severe
conditions, yet its mechanism is not clearly understood and related numerical models are …

A new mechanism for the action of antiwear tribofilms is proposed. The antiwear action of
ZDDP additive is believed to be mainly due to the formation of tribofilms that reduce wear by …

This paper describes how research over the last 20 years has advanced our understanding
of the mechanisms of action of ZDDP, especially with respect to tribofilm formation. We now …
