Friction and Wear in Metals

Abstract

The surfaces are continuously damaged by wear. Friction always leads to wear. According to statistics, wear, fatigue, and corrosion are the three main causes of mechanical part failure. Wear is the main cause among them, impacting 60–80%. Studying wear mechanisms and ways to increase wear resistance are required. Effectively lower maintenance costs, raise output and equipment longevity and conserve resources and energy. This is quite significant. As science and technology advance quickly, we discover new ways to reduce equipment wear. Equipment became crucial, particularly in high-speed, heavy-duty, precise, and unique applications. The investigation of wear has become important in work settings. The research of wear mechanisms has been made easier since the 1960s due to advances in materials science, surface physics, chemistry, and surface testing equipment. Establishing patterns, contributing factors, and wear characteristics are the goals of studying wear through understanding phenomena, wear can be reduced and wear resistance improved.
