Keywords: Tribology, Ceramics, Materials

This standard resource provides the design engineers, materials supplier and end-users the practical answers to their common question: which type of ceramics can be preferably applied for sliding, slip-rolling, rolling and fretting applications in which type of media under what value of contact pressure mated against which type of counter material under oil and/or aqueous lubrication as well as under unlubricated conditions as monolithic material or coating? It covers new development and innovation as well as compiles all industrial topics related to tribology of ceramics in the last decade in a comprehensive way. All authors contributed articles related to practice.
