This paper reviews the recent trends in materials technology and lubricant additive
technology in engines. The paper will review key developments in surface engineering …

Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate additives are used to control wear and inhibit oxidation in almost
all engine oils as well as many other types of lubricant. They limit wear primarily by forming a …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have emerged as one of the most promising surface
coatings for applications involving boundary lubrication regime. Some of the characteristics …

Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), the most widely used antiwear additive in engine oils,
has been extensively studied over the last few decades to help understand the origin of its …

Tailoring the properties of tribological interfaces is difficult, but it can be a very efficient way
to reduce wear and friction and so increase service life–providing it can be done …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have became accepted non-ferrous coatings for
automotive tribo-components as they offer excellent tribological properties resulting in …

Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, the growing price and environmental
cost of energy have increased the significance of tribology. Handbook of Lubrication and …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have increased demand as protective hard coating for
mechanical components due to their exceptional mechanical and tribological performance …

The friction properties of a range of boundary lubricating additives in diamond-like carbon
(DLC)–DLC rolling–sliding contact have been investigated. Two types of commercial DLC …

Diamond-like carbon coatings (DLCs) are considered to hold great promise for improvement
in friction and wear resistance of engine parts. It is hence interesting to know whether …
