Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The conference “Tribology for Mechanical Engineering” (https://tribomash.com/en/) is organized by the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, every two years, with great involvement from various universities and major industry players.

The conference will take place in Moscow, Russia, 19–21 November, 2018. This year “Tribology for Mechanical Engineering” will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) 250 CHF is charged for all publications in this Special Issue.

The main objective of the conference is to share research ideas among researchers, students from universities, industries, institutions, and related agencies all around the world through oral presentations.

The topics of the conference are:

  • Fundamental problems of tribology
  • Lubrication and lubricants
  • Design and calculations of friction units
  • Tribological materials science
  • Tribodiagnostics and tribomonitoring
  • Environmental problems of tribology
  • Biotribology
  • Micro and nanotribology

Dr. Maksim Prozhega
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The processes taking place on the friction surface of high-alloyed aluminum alloys working with steel whilst replacing bronze journal bearings with aluminum are investigated. In this regard, eight experimental aluminum alloys with an Sn content from 5.4% to 11.0%, which also included Pb, Zn, Si, Mg, and Cu, were cast. The surface and subsurface layer of experimental aluminum bearings were studied before and after tribological tests with a 38HN3MA steel counterbody by scanning electron microscopy including energy-dispersive analysis. The best aluminum alloy, which had an Sn content of 5.8% after the friction tests, showed 6.5-times better wear resistance and steel counterbody wear rate than the bronze reference. Both structural and compositional changes in the surface layer were observed. It was revealed that secondary structures formed on the surface during the friction process and included all of the chemical elements in the tribosystem, which is a consequence of its self-organization. Generally, the secondary structures are thin metal-polymer films generated as a result of the high carbon and oxygen content. The interaction behavior of some of the chemical elements in the tribosystem is shown and discussed. In addition, the influence that Sn, Pb, Cu, and C content in the secondary structures has on the tribological properties of low-tin and medium-tin alloys is shown. Full article
