Industrial Tribology

Industrial Tribology is a practical course focused on the science of friction, wear, lubrication, and surface interaction between moving components. It explains how tribological principles are applied to improve the performance and reliability of industrial machinery. Participants learn about different types of friction and wear mechanisms and their impact on equipment life. The course covers lubrication principles, lubricant selection, and lubrication methods for various industrial applications. It introduces bearings, gears, seals, shafts, and other components where tribology plays an important role. Participants understand common causes of wear, including abrasion, adhesion, erosion, fatigue, and corrosion. The course also discusses lubricant properties, contamination control, and lubrication system maintenance. Practical approaches to reducing friction, minimizing wear, and preventing premature equipment failure are covered. Tribological failure analysis techniques help participants identify root causes and recommend suitable corrective actions. The course is useful for improving equipment efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the service life of industrial machinery.
