MET 610E - Principles of Tribology

Course Objectives

- Explaing Friction, wear and lubrication concept

- Learning wear mechanisms,

- Learning lubrication mechanisms,

- Introducing wear testing methods,

- Understanding internal and external factors affecting friction and wear

Course Description

The class Principles of Tribology aims to introduce, friction, wear and lubrication concepts as well as wear mechanisms and lubrication types. In this class, test methods to determine friction and wear properties of engineering materials, and internal and external factors affecting these properties are also taught.
