Scientists have explored friction at the microscopic level. They discovered that the force generating friction is much stronger than previously thought. The discovery is an important step toward ...

Friction springs consist of radial rings that deform briefly and convert impact energy into frictional heat. Design them into your next design for damping. Carl Fenstermacher, President, Ringfeder ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio research analysts predict the global friction welding machine market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the period 2018-2022, according to their latest report.

Friction welding uses frictional heat to forge parts together without melting them. Engineers can use friction welding to join dissimilar materials and tailor a design’s material properties.

Automotive engineers are stepping up the fight against friction. Friction in the engine, transmission and axles contribute to lost power, lower fuel economy and increased emissions. Before, auto ...

Using biowaste from cassava plants, scientists have created a coating that virtually eliminates friction in metal parts. The breakthrough has the potential to deliver better fuel economy, extend the ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Friction is a force that exists when two surfaces rub up against each other. For example, this cup on ...
