    Monitoring of Running-in of an EHL Contact Using Contact Impedance

    Running-in is an important process for elasto-hydrodynamic lubricated contacts, which affect both service life and operating performance. However, the possibilities of monitoring running-in are still poor. The...

    Effect of self-assembled monolayers modified slider on head-disk tribology under volatile organic contamination

    Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with different endgroups were established on slider surface. The effect of the SAMs coated slider on head-disk tribology under volatile organic contamination (VOC) of octamethy...

    Effect of volatile organic contamination on head-disk interface tribology and a method for its reduction

    Volatile organic contamination is known to be one of the factors to cause the failure of head-disk interface (HDI). Therefore, reduction of its harmful effects and improvement of the stability and reliability ...

    Tribological Behaviors of 52100 Steel in Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere

    The tribological behavior of 52100 steel in a carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere was investigated using a reciprocating ball-on-disk tribometer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to identify the adsorb...
