Abstract:
Recent tribology trends have shifted towards innovative developments in lubricating methods and surface coatings, which are changing mechanical engineering. Cutting-edge surface coatings have become indispensable, providing customized solutions for increased durability, reduced friction, and wear resistance. Leading the way are ceramic coatings that are very adaptable and provide strong corrosion resistance, as well as Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings, which are well known for their exceptional hardness and low friction characteristics. Self-healing materials and nanocoating powered by nanotechnology provide ground-breaking breakthroughs by bringing nanoscale accuracy and self-repairing processes, guaranteeing longer component lifetimes. At the same time, lubrication methods have changed. Nanolubrication, which uses nanoparticles to increase lubrication efficiency, has been introduced, and smart lubrication systems, which combine analytics and sensors, optimize lubricant application. With a focus on ecological alternatives and biodegradable lubricants without sacrificing performance, green lubrication has become more popular. Together, these developments open the door for durable, effective, and sustainable tribological systems in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, and the automotive and medicinal fields. These developments, which represent the fusion of innovation and sustainability in engineering practices, hold the potential of longer component lifespans, improved equipment performance, and less environmental effect as tribology advances.
