DOE-OTM Tribology Program quarterly progress report, July--September 1990
- eds.
The tribology project of the OTM was formed in the fall of 1990. Management of the technical project resides with Argonne National Laboratory. Under the current Annual Operating Plan (AOP) the tribology project is structured to conform with the ongoing and planned research activities into three program elements: Extreme Environment Lubrication: Experimental and theoretical (modeling) investigations of lubrication phenomena and the development of improved or novel lubricants, lubricant-delivery systems and surface-lubrication films, coatings and implants, for current and advanced engine systems. Engineered Tribological Interfaces: Research and development on ion-beam and other coating processes to modify the microstructure and chemical composition of near-surface regions in order to improve their friction and wear properties for use in advanced engine designs. Tribology by Design: Triboscience investigation of the microstructure of materials and lubricating surface layers in determining friction and wear: tribomaterials evaluation of the friction and wear behavior of newly emerging materials, particularly those promising low friction and wear at elevated temperatures in advanced engine designs; and tribocomponents evaluation which focuses on development of models, analysis/design tools to enable US transportation industry to employ a tribology-by-design approach and dissemination of program developments to US transportation industry. Separate papers were prepared for appropriate sections of this report.
