Solid lubrication using graphite coatings at high mechanical load, Prof. Martin Dienwiebel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Coatings for hostile environment applications, Dr Justyna Kulczyk-Malecka (Manchester Metropolitan University) Bruker surface preparation and...

The complexity of correlations in engineering and scientific testing on brake pad materials. The formation of transfer films on organic brake pads. How tribochemistry happens also under the surface of the brake pad. The influence of the size of tools and measurement...

Through millions of years of evolution, biological systems have adapted to extreme conditions. This has resulted in innovative surfaces with functionalities like ultra-strong seashells, wear-resistant reptile skins, and the self-cleaning ability of lotus leaves. With...

Rings & liners must run-in before reaching optimum performance & oil control. A top softer run-in coating is better for removing asperities and gives optimum surfaces after which a lower harder durable coating is best. So, a dual coating is required. WC/C on...

Structured surfaces with features in the micro- and nano-range offer a new level of design freedom for materials, allowing for the modification of desired material properties and thus obtaining enhanced functionalities. High-resolution fabrication techniques are...
