Abstract

Tribology is derived from the Greek word tribos, which means rubbing. It deals with the tribological phenomena, such as lubrication, friction, and wears in the moving parts. Thus, tribology becomes more and more important in automotive turbochargers in terms of synthetic lubricating oils, friction reduction, adhesion and abrasion friction, and wear reduction in the oil-film bearings including journal and thrust bearings.
