After successful completion of the course, students are able to evaluate tribological systems under harsh environments. They can examine wear mechanisms and select wear protection solutions for different applications. Further, they can estimate costs of wear in applications, measure the extent of wear and can select methods for wear simulation. Furthermore, they can select and operate suitable abrasion tests for the comparison of wear protection solutions.
Lecture to introduce tribology under harsh environments. Application of knowledge through discussion of case studies and independent handling and evaluation of abrasion experiments in laboratory.
Oral exam with questions from the lecture content, discussion of the laboratory protocol
Basic knowledge in material science and tribology is recommended
