Improved performance, life, reliability, cost, and sustainability of systems are driving needs in aerospace systems. One facet of addressing these important needs is through improvements in friction and wear components. This webinar, sponsored by DuPont Vespel, will provide insights into the science of friction and wear.
Including the types of wear, influencing factors, and critical material properties to consider in developing solutions for wear and friction applications. In addition, practical application information and examples will be shared, to help you optimize your designs to meet the challenges you face, to stretch life and performance of your applications.
