Knowledge is power, and tribology which is the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion is an endless source of knowledge. Tribology can help us reduce waste of energy by minimizing friction and wear in various mechanisms and applications. Tribology can also contribute to sustainability and environmental protection by lowering CO2 emissions and resource consumption. In this paragraph, I will
Defining sustainability can sometimes be really ambiguous, but it is essential. As an example, a definition of sustainability for surface engineering could encourage the development of a framework for building up indicators from friction and wear data in an agile way.
Yes, there are well known families of coatings under development and in the market…… but….. is your coatings development strategy enough robust to gain valuable insights to screening coated systems by using friction and wear data as part of the whole development or quality control process..?
Since January 2020, I have had the splendid opportunity to be part of the executive team for the IET Tribology Technical Network. This role has allowed me to engage deeply with the field of tribology, which is the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, and to contribute to the advancement of this critical area of engineering. In February 2021, I
