9.1 Introduction

The components that are engaged in relative motion with their counterparts in any product demand synergy of mechanical and tribological behavior for service longevity. Traditional materials often demonstrate better performance in either of these, resulting in early failure of the part. This has provided the scope for evolution of tailor‐made materials, i.e. composites, ...
