Preface

The function of numerous electrical, electrochemical, mechanical, and biological systems or components depends on suitable friction and wear as well as tribological values. In this context, the study of friction, wear and lubrication is of tremendous pragmatic importance. In recent years, the study of tribological behavior of a component has received great attention, as the wastage of resources resulting from

This book provides the motivation for research aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the nature and consequences of the interaction between materials or components on friction, lubrication and wear perspectives. This book guides the

Chapter 1 "Abrasive Wear Performance of Fe2B Layers Applied on Steel Substrates'' evaluates the resistance of dry abrasive wear in the Fe2B layer deposited on AISI D2

Chapter 2 "Experimental Results of the Tribology of Aluminum in the Presence of Polytron Additive" discusses experimental studies on a brand-new additive called

Chapter 3 "Structural-Energy Interpretation of the Friction" studies the structuralenergy model of elastic-plastic deformation as the main mechanism of transformation and dissipation of energy under friction. It proposes equations of friction energy balance, the energy interpretation of the coefficient of friction, and a

Chapter 4 "Thin Films: Study of the Influence of the Micro-abrasive Wear Modes on the Volume of Wear and Coefficient of Friction" studies the influence of microabrasive wear modes on the behaviors of the volume of wear (*V*) and of the coef-

Chapter 5 "Novel Predictors for Friction and Wear in Drive Train Applications" derives a molecular model that shows how the release and the approach of additives toward a surface is essential and related to the reaction processes that occur

Chapter 6 "Tribological and Wear Behavior of Metal Alloys Produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)" investigates the different behavior of principal metallic alloys by LPBF. Since LPBF is an additive manufacturing technique for the production of parts with complex geometry it is especially appropriate for structural

Chapter 7 "Tribological Characteristics of Smart Materials (Magneto-Rheological Fluids and Elastomers) and their Applications" shows the tribological characteristics of magneto-rheological fluids (MRFs) and magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs), as smart materials have been widely studied in various engineering fields
