How tribology pays for itself
Article Abstract:
Tribology, that is the study of interacting, moving surfaces, can help the environment, reduce costs generally, improve safety and cut downtime and energy consumption. The Institution of Mechanical Engineering says that the first year of the War on Wear campaign has led to nearly half of the firms advised by the Institution changing their working practices. The main advantages cited were reduced maintenance costs, better reliability, reduced energy costs, and a better product life. Friction, contact mechanics, wear, lubricants and diamond powder coating are also discussed.
