Why do engineers need to know about materials? Metals, polymers, ceramics, composites — what are the key characteristics of each class of material and which is best suited for a given industrial application? How can service conditions change the perf... Read More about The Engineer’s Guide to Materials: An Applications-Focused Introduction to Materials Science.

Investigations into effects of humidity and oxygen on a polymer-bonded MoS2-based dry film lubricant (DFL) coating, on grit-blasted Ti-6Al-4V using a cylinder-on-flat configuration, are reported. Sustained low friction and low wear occurred in both l...
