Diamond Bearing Tribology Fundamentals

Tribology comes from the Greek word ‘tribos’ which means ‘rubbing’.  It is a relatively new science that considers the friction, wear and lubrication at moving contacts.  Diamond bearing tribology looks at the physics between two diamond surfaces moving relative to one another, most of the time in the presence of a lubricant.
