Tribology is the science and engineering of friction, wear, and lubrication — it focuses on how surfaces behave when they come into contact and move against each other. Although it may sound niche, tribology is all around us. It plays a vital role in countless everyday applications — from the smooth functioning of car engines and brakes, to the durability of machine parts, biomedical implants, and even household appliances.
Understanding tribology helps engineers and researchers improve how materials perform over time, especially under pressure, movement, or repeated use. By studying and optimizing surface interactions, tribology enables the development of longer-lasting components, reduces maintenance needs, increases energy efficiency, and helps prevent unexpected failures in critical systems.
In industrial settings, tribological testing is essential for evaluating the quality and performance of lubricants, coatings, metals, polymers, and composites. Whether you're designing a high-performance bearing or testing a new material for medical devices, tribology provides the insights needed to make smarter, more reliable engineering decisions.
