Characterization of Tribological Materials, Second Edition

Beschreibung

This classic text discusses the use of advanced surface science characterization techniques in friction, adhesive and abrasive wear, boundary lubrication, contact fatigue, and other important failure processes. Surface characterization of bearings, gears, seals, and other manufactured rolling and sliding surfaces are increasingly routine in advanced quality control of processes and in the manufacture of precision components. This book is an indispensable asset to scientists and engineers using tribological characterization techniques. New content in this edition include: ¿ four new figures to illustrate real surface contact added to Chapter 1. ¿ coverage of the use of the Environmental SEM (ESEM) in examining wear of fiber glass filled PTFE added to chapter 4. ¿ new information on the wear of ceramics added to Chapter 5. ¿ updates for new analytical systems added to Chapter 6. ¿ coverage of Atomic Force Microscope (ATM) and its usefulness in the field of nano-tribology, providing not only full microtopography of surface roughness but also measurement of nano-friction and nanohardness of surface films, added in a new Chapter 9. ¿ the 17 Appendices have been completely revamped with essential information organized into convenient tables.

Autor

William A. Glaeser (Fellow, STEL) is a senior research scientist in Battelle's Structural Materials and Tribology Section. He has directed research efforts in tribology, encompassing development of wear-resistant materials, investigation of the wear process, and solution of engineering problems involving wear and lubrication. He has served as adjunct assistant professor in the Metallurgical Engineering Department at the Ohio State University. He has taught the principles and failure analysis course for the ASM Academy of Metals and served as Vice Chairman of an ASME International Conference on Wear of Materials. He was on the Advisory Committee of the CRC Handbook of Lubrication and Tribology, Second Edition. He is the author of numerous handbooks, manuals, and technical papers on wear and related subjects and a former member of the editorial board of Wear, the journal of friction and wear. He holds an M.S. in metallurgical engineering from the Ohio State University and a B.M.E. from Cornell University.
