Abstract

Tribology is study of friction, wear and lubrication. It is a core technology in almost all mechanical systems including bio medical application. Wear and friction are the most common problems in almost all mechanical contacts and due to that economic losses occurs. This paper represents the reviews of different papers that are mainly focused on study of tribological properties and to improve it by different techniques such as coatings, heat treatments, severe plastic deformation, addition of alloying elements, lubrication etc. It also includes the different methods of wear measurement like pin on disc, abrasive wear tester and block on wheel.

Keywords
Tribology, surface treatment, wear, wear tests, pin-on-disc wear test.
