High-temperature tribology is of particular importance in industries where operational efficiency is affected by the exposure of materials and tribological interfaces to elevated temperatures. Various factors like elastic modulus, thermal conductivity, hardness, thermo-mechanical fatigue, diffusion, grain structure and oxidation can largely influence friction and wear at high temperatures, thus making it a multicomponent problem.

This conference is an effort to provide open access to tribology research; to aid industries and academicians pushing the frontiers of material technologies and utilization of such technologies for a more sustainable world.
Solid particles in dusty environments can damage materials and affect dimensional tolerances in variety of industries ranging from gas turbines, helicopter rotor system (aerospace applications), boiler tubes (coal power plants) and wind turbines (renewable energy). Erosion of certain components can reduce operational efficiency of systems and have economic impact.
