Encyclopedia of Lubricants and Lubrication

Preface
Lubrication is certainly an essential, if not the essential, area of tribology. Virtually all moving parts are lubricated and suitable lubricants are employed to maximize the lifetime of machine elements and to minimize energy consumption and overall costs. Making lubrication successful requires combined efforts: selecting the right lubricant, using the right lubricating system, keeping the lubricant in good conditions, incorporating properly the lubricant into the engineering process as a machine element, finding the suitable test procedure to check the efficiency of the lubricant, selecting the right criteria to protect the environment and to improve the energy efficiency and, last but not least, finding the overall economically best solution.

The Encyclopedia of Lubricants and Lubrication will be a leading and comprehensive reference work covering all major aspects of the science, technology and application of lubricants and lubrication, friction, wear and related fields.

It took more than 3 years of hard work of outstanding experts in awide range of disciplines to compile this encyclopedia. I would give my sincere thanks to all the invited authors and colleagues of Springer, especially Dr.MartinM€uller.

Theo Mang gained his doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Clausthal, Germany, in 1967. He began working in the field of lubricants at Fuchs in Mannheim in 1967, becoming head of the technical department in 1980 and a member of the Executive Board of the global Fuchs Group from 1983 until 2001, responsible for technology including engineering, research and development, technical application and product management, and later additionally responsible for group purchasing and human resources. Since 1998 he has been Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen). Professor Mang is recipient of the Georg Vogelpohl Medal, highest award of the German Society of Tribology, and has 80 publications to his name including books and monographs with the focus on lubricants and lubrication. He was a board member of various German and European professional societies. In 2013, he was honored with the Federal Cross of Merit by the German Federal President Joachim Gauck for his successful work in research and development, his cultural activities and generally for his lifework.
