Description
A Tribology Frontiers Conference Preview:
Designing surfaces to optimize performance and production
efficiency.
Surface coatings and surface texture control the
friction, adhesion, and wear of contacting components, as well as the
lubrication and leakage of bearings and seals. For tooling and dies, suboptimal
surface finish leads to production problems and downtime. However, the
“optimal” surface finish varies by application. In this Industry Insights
event, we will first discuss the limitations of traditional trial-and-error methods
for selecting surface finish. Then, we will demonstrate how to use science-guided
and machine-learning approaches to find the surface finish that optimizes a key
performance metric, like product lifetime or production efficiency.
About the STLE Tribology Frontiers Conference:
It has gained a reputation for bringing together the tribology research community in a format that maximizes the opportunity to experience the latest in research and network with peers in a relaxed environment. The Tribology Frontiers Conference is designed for industry, academic and government researchers to engage with thought leaders from around the world and explore the role the science of tribology can play in solving future scientific and societal changes.
