Recent Advances in High Temperature Tribology

Dear Colleagues,

High temperature tribology is gradually developing along with the needs of high-tech fields such as aviation, aerospace and nuclear energy. It concerns friction, wear and lubrication and their relationships at high temperature. High temperature lubrication/anti-wear materials and technologies are greatly required in the fields of aerospace (such as in rolling element bearings, air foil bearings, and gears), national defense technical equipment (such as cylinder wall/piston ring lubrication for low-heat rejection diesel engines, and small arms action components) and hot metal processing (such as hot rolling mills and hot forging tools) and are the key technologies of mechanical systems. It is an immature and important discipline.

We would like to invite researchers to submit original research papers, short communications and review articles to the Special Issue on “Recent Advances in High Temperature Tribology”. This Special Issue is dedicated to disseminating the latest research and understandings based on advanced experimental studies and computational modeling related to friction, wear and lubrication at high temperature. The potential scope of interest includes (but is not limited to):

• Wear at high temperature
• Tribology in metal forming
• High temperature metals and alloys
• Novel high temperature lubricants
• High temperature tribology testing
• Characterization of friction and wear
• Oxidation in tribology
• Contact mechanics, computational simulation and multiscale modeling.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
