With approximately 300 photos and micrographs, this book helps readers identify the cause of failures and take appropriate action to prevent repeat failures and lessen costs. It covers diagnosis of tribology problems, modes of friction and wear, wear/erosion/friction mechanisms, and solutions to process-limiting problems. The author explains every wear, erosion, and friction process and includes macro- and micrographs of surface damage and schematics on material removal mechanisms. The atlas is the accumulation of examples from 50 years of tribology consulting and research and is intended to guide tribology professionals and those who aren't tribology specialists.
