Glossary of Terms -- Solid friction / chairman, Jorn Larsen-Basse -- Lubricants and lubrication / chairman, Herbert S. Cheng -- Wear / chairman, Kenneth C. Ludema -- Laboratory characterization techniques / chairman, A.W. Ruff -- Systematic diagnosis of friction and wear test data / chairman, H. Czichos -- Materials for friction and wear applications / chairman, William A. Glaeser -- Surface treatments and coatings for friction and wear control -- Metric-conversion guide -- Temperature conversion table -- Abbreviations, symbols, and tradenames.
Abstract: ASM Handbook, Volume 18 has been designed as a resource for basic concepts, methods of laboratory testing and analysis, materials selection, and field diagnosis of friction, lubrication, and wear problems. The goal is to enable engineers, designers, and technical personnel to select "the right tool for the right job." The sections on solid friction, lubricants and lubrication, and wear and surface damage contain basic, tutorial information that helps introduce the materials-oriented professional to established concepts in tribology. The Handbook is also intended for use by individuals with a background in mechanics or lubricant chemistry and little knowledge of materials.
