World Tribology Congress

This prestigious Congress brings together the principal engineers, scientists and practitioners working in tribology around the world. This major international Congress is the showcase for more than 800 papers which represent the best in tribological research and industrial applications. One-page abstracts of these important papers are presented here in an easily accessible, single volume, formaing a vital record of work in tribology.

Topics covered include:

• Think film bearings
• Lubricant chemistry and rheology
• EHL and boundary lubrication
• Magnetic storage systems
• Wear in ceramic systems
• Biotribology
• Rolling bearings
• Manufacturing and maintenance
• Environmental issues
• Micro- and nano-tribology

All those concerned with tribology need to have access to this vital reference source.
