Previously, Tribology research was focused on the design and effective lubrication of machine components such as bearings. Over time, there has been a shift in tribology’s focus to include several aspects of modern technology. In recent decades, it has received continuous and increasing attention as it has become evident that the wastage of resources resulting from high friction and wear is greater than 6% of the Gross National Product.
Tribology has its application in the most common rolling or sliding components, which are bearings, cams, gears, seals and brakes. This early focus on enhancing operation and extending the life of industrial machinery has evolved into other applications where it has made a major impact on a variety of applications.
