FEATURES
20 MINUTES
20 Minutes With Bryan Allison
This product development engineer at SKF Aeroengine discusses the bearings industry and the development of better alloys.
WEBINARS
How to remain safe and productive in working with metalworking fluids during the COVID-19 pandemic
A better understanding of how the virus is transmitted, industrial hygiene and how to use disinfectants is essential to stay safe and productive.
COVER STORY
Solid coatings: Not just for space vehicles anymore
Simple and complex solids provide efficient, cost-effective environmentally friendly lubrication and wear protection for an increasing number of applications.
FEATURE
From atoms to materials
Using computational materials science and tribology to understand bearing steels.
TECH BEAT I
3D printing of a high-strength martensitic steel alloy
Viable metal parts composed of a new alloy, AF9628, were successfully 3D printed using a new approach.
TECH BEAT II
Sodium-ion battery
Better performance was achieved in part through the use of a new electrolyte that changes the solvation structure in the battery.
TECH BEAT III
Drawing out reversible adhesives
Microstructures with various geometries were prepared that demonstrated comparable performance compared to those produced using molding.
SOUNDING BOARD
Areas of tribology and lubrication
If you could switch to any area of tribology research or lubrication engineering, based solely on your interest in the subject, which area would you choose to work in and why?
