CALL FOR ABSTRACTS / CALL FOR EXHIBITION for the 3rd European Symposium on
      Friction, Wear and Wear Protection
      6 – 8 May 2014 in Karlsruhe, Germany
       
        The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 9 December 2013!
       Dear Sirs,
       
      Conservation of energy and resources is one of the biggest  challenges for society and industry. Modern tribology is one of the main  cornerstones of reducing carbon emissions. However, friction and wear  protection lacks of a systematic approach based on elemental mechanisms  from materials science, physics and chemistry; materials and  technologies needed in the near future may not be a simple extension of  one which is in our hand now.
       Following the successful 2008 and 2011  symposium the 2014 conference belongs to a series of conferences held  once every three years under the auspices of the technical committee  "Materials aspects of tribology and machining" of the German Materials  Society, DGM. The scope of the symposium covers all classes of  materials, machining, production and lubrication technologies and  targets at practitioners from industry as well as engineers and  scientists.
       The organisers invite prospective authors to submit an abstract for lectures  or posters relating to the conference topics.  
       The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 9 December 2013!
       Conference Topics:
      A: Wear resistant materials and coatings
      B: Friction materials and linings (brakes, clutches)
      C: Ultra-low friction materials and coatings
      D: Modelling and computer simulation
      E: Material-lubricant interactions and tribochemical effects
      F: Ceramics
      G: Polymers and PMCs
      H: Surface modifications  
      I: Novel instrumentation and testing
      K: Biomaterials
