Measurement of Mechanical Properties of Thin Solid Films II: Friction and Wear

  • Chapter
Advanced Techniques for Surface Engineering

Part of the book series: Eurocourses: Mechanical and Materials Science ((EUMM,volume 1))

Abstract

The friction and wear performance of surfaces is critical to the functionality of industrial mechanisms, engines transmissions and all manner of process plants, especially with regard to their efficiency of operation and life cycle costs. Whilst typically dominated by mechanical properties, it is increasingly realised that surface chemistry also plays a mojor role in determining the friction and wear behaviour. Thus in recent years there have been many attempts to formulate a basic understanding of friction and wear, and to develop equipments and test procedures which allow the study and standardised testing of couples for different applications. The theoretical and practical background to this subject is covered in this chapter.
