Center for Surface Engineering and Tribology.(Products)

Surface failure resulting from rubbing is a critical problem that inhibits the development of key components in advanced engines, turbines, manufacturing processes, magnetic recording systems and micro mechanical systems. In order to develop advanced components for these applications, it is necessary to understand and control basic friction, wear, and lubrication processes at the sliding interface. Surface engineering and tribology revolve the basic phenomena of surfaces in relative motion. The broad mission of the Center for Surface Engineering and Tribology (www.csetr.org) is to marshal the resources and expertise at the Georgia …
