Abstract: Conventional lubricants face significant challenges in electric vehicle (EV) systems due to their low electrical conductivity and inability to mitigate tribo-electrification effects which can result in increased friction, ...

Abstract: It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Prof. Michael R. Lovell on June 9, 2024. Professor Lovell, who was the President of Marquette University and a distinguished tribologist, passed away in Rome while ...

Abstract: In this work, laser shock peening (LSP) was utilized as a surface-processing technique to modify the tribocorrosion characteristics of cold-spray (CS) 316L SS. Results indicate that with the influence of LSP, the degree ...

Abstract: This study investigates the tribological properties of cold-sprayed (CS) coatings comprising Cu, Cu-Al2O3, and Cu-Al2O3-Ag at room-temperature and under high-temperature sliding conditions. The composite coatings feedstock ...

Abstract: The sustainability of biolubricants as green alternatives for industrial and machinery lubrication is questionable due to their unreliable oxidative stability, high pour point, and easy accumulation of contaminants that ...

Abstract: In recent years, cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) has become an attractive technology for surface modification and protection. However, due to the intrinsic porous nature of CSAM coatings, they suffer from rapid ...

Abstract: Laser shock peening (LSP) is one of the widely used surface processing techniques for tailoring functional behavior of surfaces. LSP has been used to enhance friction, wear, and mechanical properties. However, understanding ...
