Friction and selection of anti-friction materials. Educational guide

The main types and mechanisms of friction and wear are considered. From the perspective of modern understanding, the physico-chemical properties of friction surfaces of parts, the conditions of their contact interaction are described. Types of friction, main types of damage to working surfaces, and the mechanisms of friction and wear caused by them are analyzed. The requirements for anti-friction and wear-resistant materials are justified, and the principles of selecting adequate materials for various working conditions are described. Common types of laboratory setups for studying friction and wear of metals are briefly discussed, as well as the features of the relationship between the structure and properties of basic anti-friction and wear-resistant materials.
For students and postgraduates of metallurgical and mechanical engineering specialties at universities. It may be useful for engineering and technical personnel of enterprises and research institutes.
