Tribology and Surface Engineering
Energy loss from tribology - Answer-Frictional work
Manufacture replacement parts
Financial loss from tribology - Answer-Maintenance and replacement
Breakdowns
Reduced life cycle
Tribology - Answer-Study of friction, wear, lubrication and design of bearings
Surface engineering - Answer-Altering surface properties to reduce degradation over time
Asperities - Answer-Imperfections on material surface, 2 materials only contact where asperities meet
Coefficient of friction - Answer-Ratio of frictional force resisting motion and normal force pressing them
together
µ = Fs / Fn
Wear - Answer-Damage, erode or destroy by friction or use
Adhesive wear - Answer-Adhesion at the work hardened junctions cause shear-off
