It was only a few years ago that mechanical engineers began to regard lubricants more as a functional component and give more of their attention to this particular group of materials. The book provides chemists and engineers with an introduction to all important lubricant applications, focusing on
specific applications-related
criteria rather than the variety
of products available on the
market. It will be welcome
as a guide to the development of new lubricants and
as a source of advice for selecting the right lubricant
for a particular range of application. The book, with numerous graphics and tables
throughout its 759 pages,
costs 167.70 Euro.
