Fretting wear is a phenomenon occurring in many engineering objects, including push fit connections. In view of a large number of factors conducive to wear development, it is difficult to describe the mechanism of wear initiation and development. The...

Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) is an interesting candidate as a coolant for Generation IV nuclear power plants. Lead-bismuth lubricated radial guide bearing is the key component of the mechanical pump in a lead-bismuth coolant system. In this paper, the...

In the existing literature, there are few studies on the effect of deposition bias on the tribological properties of carbon-doped high-entropy alloy coatings. In order to further study the effect of the deposition bias on the properties of coatings,...

Wear caused by friction is one of the main causes of most mechanical component failures. The application of powders as anti-wear lubricating materials has achieved great advances, which are of great significance in reducing friction and wear. This re...

Stern tube lubricants are essential in maritime operations, safeguarding ship propeller shafts from wear and corrosion while ensuring efficient propulsion. Their role in reducing friction and maintaining system integrity is critical. With growing env...

In the modeling of elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems considering mixed friction, strongly coupled dependencies occur due to piezo-viscous effects and asperities, which can make a numerical solution exceptionally difficult. A fully implicit coup...

In fields such as industrial engineering and healthcare, additive manufacturing technology is a focal point for researchers. Wear represents a significant challenge for additive manufacturing technology, increasingly emerging as a research hotspot in...

This study employs a rigorous methodology to assess the condition of the hydraulic oil in a recently introduced mini skid-steer loader. The assessment is conducted through laboratory analysis, which adheres to a range of international standards. The...

In this study, MoS2 nanosheets have been prepared and treated ultrasonically with silver ammonia solutions. The MoS2/Ag precursor was reduced using dopamine (DA) as reducing and linking agent at room temperature, and it was subjected to a hydrotherma...

Machine tool vibrations play a significant role in hindering productivity during machining. The growing vibrations accelerate tool wear and chipping, cause a poor wave surface finish, and may damage the spindle bearing. Some research showed that trib...
