General Characteristics of Friction and Wear of Engineering Materials
摘要
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the subject of friction and wear of engineering materials. In addition to other topics, the chapter presents a detailed discussion of the characteristics of friction contact. It also discusses the origins of resistance to sliding friction and the methods of reducing this resistance. The chapter then goes on to explore the mechanisms of wear of coating materials. Finally, it presents different approaches in terms of the scale of identification and understanding the tribological processes of coating materials.
