The subject of Tribology originated from the art of lubrication but has since developed into a much broader range of applications. Most mechanical equipment is subject to damage by wear or, else, wastes energy by frictional dissipation. Tribological related failure is a critical problem that affects the life and reliability of many important systems. In order to reduce the lifecycle cost of an asset, whilst saving energy and production costs, friction and wear must be controlled in the highest possible way. It is undeniable that the waste of resources resulting from high friction and wear is great, and the potential saving offered by advanced application of tribological and lubrication knowledge is correspondingly great.
The work on industrial applications continues as Australia has a large sector of processing industries where wear problems in particular present new challenges. As Australia becomes more and more industrially advanced, industries and professional engineers need to brush-up and increase their expertise in tribology and lubrication technology along the lines of other advanced countries, and achieve immense benefits and cost savings to become a global leader in this area.
This training is focused on the advanced applications of the science, engineering and technology of oil analysis, lubrication, wear and friction control and reliability for effective maintenance of your machines. The multidisciplinary approach, from a practical standpoint, will equip designers, maintenance, mechanical and lubrication engineers, research and development personnel and managers with information which will enable them to minimise the costs associated with moving parts.
The need is obvious, its fulfilment can be achieved.
