Current Research Topics

Controlling the friction under boundary lubrication condition has become a paramount important for reducing undesirable friction loss, leading to conservation of fossil fuels and reduction of the amount of CO2 emission. My current study has focused on effect of lubricating additives and surface modification on friction behavior. Subjects for my study are described as follows;

  • Sliding speed dependency of friction under boundary lubrication condition.
  • Surface topography dependant boundary friction characteristics of steel.
  • Tribological properties of steel modified using Plasma-based ion implantation.
  • Application of ion implantation to improvement in tribological properties.
