The energy efficiency, mechanical durability, and environmental compatibility of all moving machine components rely heavily on advanced lubricants for smooth safe operation. Herein an alternative family high-quality liquid (HQL) was derived by the catalytic conversion pre- post-consumer polyolefin waste. plastic-derived performed comparably to synthetic base oils such as polyalphaolefins (PAOs)...

The products based on fossil oils are increasing with the concerns of environmental sectors and academics as well. In this era, there challenges to finding alternative resources replacing oil for different engineering applications. One is lubricant. Fossil lubricants have many industrial applications involve millions dollars each year in development due their huge needs. Accordingly satisfy nee...

There are numerous types of surface coatings available to engineers in order to improve the friction and wear resistance of components. In order to successfully use these coatings in practice, it is important to understand the different types of coatings available, and the factors that control their mechanical and tribological properties. This paper will focus on the application of diamond-like...

Wear of elements subjected to friction and sliding is among the main causes of low tribological performance and short lifetime of strategic materials such as titanium alloys. These types of alloys are widely used in different areas such as aerospace and the biomechanics industry. In this sense, surface modification treatments allow for the overcoming of limitations and improvement of features a...
