Additives in Manufacturing: A Tribological View

Additives improve surface properties by reducing friction and wear at the interface, thereby enhancing the service life of interacting engineering systems and components. This book focuses on a comprehensive study of additives in terms of their role in the tribological performance of manufacturing processes. It offers a fundamental understanding of tribological behaviour and discusses the latest developments in reducing wear and energy consumption through tribological processes in manufacturing, supported by industry-relevant results.

Features:

Covers the latest developments in reducing wear and energy consumption through tribological processes in manufacturing. Highlights the potential and successful applications of additives on component surfaces to achieve desired tribological behaviour. Provides insights into the use of additives across industries such as automotive, machining, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. Reviews the application of additives in modern manufacturing processes. Includes relevant aspects of micro- and nanofluids.

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in mechanical engineering, tribology, and additive manufacturing.
