The good news is, by understanding what friction, wear, or erosion mode predominates in a mechanism or device, you can take action to prevent its costly failure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeeing Is Believing\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContaining nearly 300 photos of component failures, macro- and micrographs of surface damage, and schematics on material removal mechanisms collected over 50 years of tribology consulting and research, \u003cb\u003eFriction, Wear, and Erosion Atlas \u003c\/b\u003eis a must-have quick reference for tribology professionals and laymen alike.
