Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been widely used as a bearing
material for the artificial joint prosthetics and other orthopedic applications since the 1960s …

Inconel 718 is widely used in aeroengine hot end parts, such as turbine disks, blades, drive
shafts and so on. Its excellent mechanical and thermal properties also lead to the poor …

Herein, a porous oil-containing material with hierarchical pore structure was successfully
prepared through microtexturing large pores on the surface of porous polyimide (PPI) with …

The successful implementation of high-speed ultrasonic vibration cutting (HUVC) to improve
the machinability of the Inconel 718 alloy has been reported in literature. However, the …

Stick-slip behavior, a common problem of contact under severe lubrication, is closely related
with surface topography. To investigate the influence of surface topography types on stick …

This study describes the effect of textured patterns on the lubrication performance in starved
hydrodynamic lubrication. A friction test rig including an in-situ observation system is used …

Wear is inevitable during the process of materials friction. Herein, inspired by organisms
such as earthworms, we have developed a novel material that can repair itself after wear …

Ultrasonic-assisted technology has proven effective for Inconel 718 milling. This study
compared tool life and tool wear forms and wear mechanisms at different wear states in high …

With shrinking size of electronic devices, increasing performance and accompanying heat
dissipation, there is a need for efficient removal of this heat through packaging materials …
