Wear is an integral part of tribology, and an effective understanding and appreciation of wear is essential in order to achieve the reliable and efficient operation of almost any machine or device. Knowledge in the field has increased considerably over recent years, and continues to expand: this book is intended to stimulate its readers to contribute towards the progress of this fascinating subject that relates to most of the known disciplines in physical science.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWear – Materials, Mechanisms and Practice\u003c\/i\u003e provides the reader with a unique insight into our current understanding of wear, based on the contributions of numerous internationally acclaimed specialists in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a comprehensive review of current knowledge in the field of wear.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses latest topics in wear mechanism classification.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes coverage of a wide variety of materials such as metals, polymers, polymer composites, diamonds, and diamond-like films and ceramics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the chemo-mechanical linkages that control tribology, providing a more complete treatment of the subject than just the conventional mechanical treatments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout with carefully compiled diagrams that provide a unique insight into the controlling mechanisms of tribology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe state of the art research on wear and the mechanisms of wear featured will be of interest to post-graduate students and lecturers in engineering, materials science and chemistry.
