Engineered materials for advanced friction and wear applications; Proceedings of the International Conference, Gaithersburg, MD, Mar. 1-3, 1988

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6053362
Recent advances in the preparation, evaluation, and application of wear-resistant materials are discussed in reviews and reports. Topics addressed include friction and wear mechanisms in engineered materials, advanced materials and surface treatments for friction/wear applications, lubrication of engineered materials, aerospace and defense applications, and computer and electronics applications. Consideration is given to atomic-scale friction measurements using an atomic force microscope, the effect of transfer films on the wear of ceramic materials, flash-temperature computations, wear of composition-modulated Ni-Cu alloys, tribology in manufacturing, the abrasive wear resistance of TiC/ferrous-matrix particulate composites, autocatalytic deposition of MMCs, lamellar liquid crystals, tribology problems in future spacecraft, surface contact resistance in electrical connectors, and a computerized tribology information system.
