Proceedings of Fourth International Conference on Inventive Material Science Applications

Part of the book series: Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology ((ASST))

Abstract

A lot of focus has been laid on the studies of carbon-related materials (CRMs). Owing to self-lubricating properties, high strength, high density, high hardness, and good electrical conductivity, CRMs find a variety of applications. Recent studies have shown that the carbon-related materials have been successfully incorporated in the Al, Mg, Cu and their alloys. Also, they serve as additives in different lubricating oils in order to obtain the improved tribological properties. Further, their use as coating materials also resulted in the enhancement of wear resistant capability of different materials. The aim of this paper is to discuss the recent developments in related to CRMs in field of tribology.
