Microtribology

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Very lightweight sliding parts, which require wear rates that are almost zero, are beginning to be used in magnetic recording devices and micro-mechanical systems. The wear of sliding surfaces subjected to very light loads is primarily due to surface interaction force rather than to load or weight. If we can control the surface interaction force, we can drastically decrease the wear rate under very light loads. The ultimate goal of micro-tribology is to create practical zero-wear devices. Microtribological evaluations of solid surfaces and lubricants have begun to employ new tools such as the scanning probe microscope.
