A multi-scale approach from mono-molecularly smooth cobalt surfaces coated with mono-
layers of fatty acids to industrially manufactured parts lubricated with additivated oil is …

The article presents the effect of anodizing parameters of the EN AW-5251 aluminum alloy
on the thickness and roughness of Al2O3 layers as well as their wettability and tribological …

One of the fundamental problems in tribology is the difficulty in predicting final performance
and, in particular, the longevity of lubricated or not frictional components. In most cases of …

This paper presents the results of experimental research on the impact assessment texture
on scuffing resistance. The results showed that the texturing increases the resistance to …

The concept of the metallic surfaces polarity in the context of scuffing performance is
postulated and elucidated in the presented paper. The machining by grinding and surface …

Lack of complete knowledge in the scope of the impact of operating conditions of precise
pairs of hydraulic units on the character of the destructive processes arising in them, results …

With increasing production of plastics crop up also the need to improve their processing
abilities. New methods and materials in the construction of forms are examined. Low weight …

Recently new fuels for large marine diesel engines appeared (www. spireth. com)
OBATE™(On-Board Alcohol To Ether) consisting of ether, alcohol and water. The potential …

Motivated by rapid marketing and technological evolutions, new materials, novel
components, innovating engineering solutions are developed and launched on the …

Purpose Boundary lubrication cannot provide long-term protection against scuffing.
Therefore, it is fundamental to recognise the breaking point of the boundary layer that …
