PACRIM S18: Advanced Wear Resistant Materials: Tribology and Reliability

There is an urgent need for materials for triboactive and demanding applications. We need to design and understand the behavior of materials for reliable functions in extreme environments and conditions, such as high temperature, high mechanical stresses, and high cycles. Engineers need a new toolbox for determining advanced materials for functional applications such as different types of bearings, contact-based devices, gears, high temperature devices, furnace components, auxiliary power units (APUs), turbo-components, and other components in extreme environments. This symposium invites scientists, academics, postdoctoral researchers, and students to contribute high quality research in this area.
