Abstract: Tribology is the study of friction, wear and the lubrication of interacting surfaces. Wear is a progressive loss of material from the mating surfaces of a pair of bodies in relative motion. It is one of the critical tribological domains and a persistent phenomenon regarding the deformation, damage and removal of material at contact surfaces, wear greatly affects the lifetime of mechanical components. Wear is very important as it causes damage to working parts and loss of mechanical efficiency.

Keywords: Tribology, Friction and Wear.
