Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Surface textures with micro-scale feature dimensions still hold great potential to enhance the
frictional performance of tribological systems. Apart from the ability of surface texturing to …

In order to support the drop-in procedure of high global warming potential (GWP)
refrigerants, this work deals with an experimental investigation of the use of nanolubricants …

This work is a review of previous works, presenting and discussing the most important
results obtained by an ongoing research program towards the development of innovative …

This study investigates the microstructure and tribological behavior of Inconel 625 overlays
applied via GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) with and without a 316LSi stainless-steel …

This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

The literature is controversial in relation to the influence of wear debris on tribological
behaviour. Some works have shown that the presence of debris is fundamental to the …

The presence of wear debris in sliding contacts is often regarded as detrimental, since it can
increase friction, induce abrasive wear, reduce actual lubricant film thickness and …

The functional performance of coatings can be transformed using coatings to form an
engineered surface system where resistance to wear and friction are improved relative to the …

The present work used a new methodology proposed in previous work to analyse the
tribological behaviour of coatings/surface modifications with potential to replace the …
