Learning outcomes for the course
After completing the course students shall be able to:- illustrate the topography and microstructure of formed and machined surfaces and surface layers
- explain the mechanical contact between two surfaces
- explain the tribological contact between two surfaces in sliding contact and explain the mechanisms controlling friction and wear
- illustrate the different lubrication regimes in a lubricating contact and explain how these will influence the resulting friction and wear
- illustrate and explain the reason for the most common types of wear mechanisms of metals, ceramics and polymers exposed to tribological contact
- compare different types of surface treatments with the aim to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of metals
- motivate the different stages of tribological testing and the methodology of the post-test characterization of the tribo surfaces
- explain which microscopy and surface analysis techniques are suitable in conjunction with the characterization of tribo surfaces
- perform tribological testing and post-test characterization of the tribo surfaces and evaluate the results
