Education level Second cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Machine Elements Subject group (SCB) Mechanical Engineering Main field of study Mechanical Engineering Entry requirementsFundamental understanding in physics, chemistry, solid mechanics, material science and machine components More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse Aim When you have finished the course you will: -understand the fundamental mechanisms of wear, friction and lubrication. -be able to make predictions of the risk of wear of two surfaces in contact. -be able to suggest suitable materials and lubricants for different applications. -have obtained a first experience of solving tribological problems.Contents Tribological losses due to wear, friction and bad lubrication cause enormous costs every year. This course will make engineers aware of these problems and learn how to avoid them in an early stage. The following content will be covered: • Wear processes • Friction • Lubricants • Lubrication • Machine component tribology • Surface roughness • Tribo testing • Coatings A project will also be carried out. This project has connections to the research carried out at the Division of Machine Elements and there is often a collaboration with industry.Realization Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website. Lectures and laborative work (project)Examination If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.
