Bøger af Kenneth G. Budinski

Intended to help readers reduce the unwanted costs and ramifications of friction, wear, and erosion in tribosystems by recommending engineering materials that have proven to be successful in dealing with these issues. Includes recommendations on which tool materials work best, the most abrasion-resistant plastics, and where should ceramics be used.

By understanding what mode of friction, wear, or erosion predominates in a mechanism or device, you can reduce negative effects. This book is a collection of examples from 50 years of tribology consulting and research, complete with detailed explanations of every friction, wear, and erosion process. Featuring nearly 300 photos of part failures, macro- and micrographs of surface damage, and schematics on material removal mechanisms, Friction, Wear, and Erosion Atlas assists tribology specialists and laymen alike in visually identifying specific causes of component failure.
