The present conference discusses topics in low-friction engineering systems requirements, atomic and molecular scale tribobehavior, ion- and laser-modified surfaces, solid lubricants, ceramic lubrication, tribotesting methods and material evaluation techniques, and wear-resistant coatings. Attention is given to the tribological requirements of advanced spacecraft, molecular contact pressure in tribology, the tribology of amorphous alloys formed with ion beams, the friction and wear of ion beam-assisted nitride coatings, sputter-deposited MoS2 solid lubricant films, and solid lubricant films for extreme environments. Also discussed are tribological applications for advanced ceramics, fluorinated diamond films, the binding of lubricating films to refractories and ceramics, fretting damage in electrical connectors, and thin diamond films for tribological applications.
