Drake Hotel, Chicago. The STLE Tribology Frontiers Conference is the tribology community’s most anticipated event for new research that can advance the productivity, profitability, sustainability and safety of processes across a number of industries, including manufacturing, metalworking, transportation and power energy. STLE’s four-day conference, co-sponsored by the Tribology Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), will feature more than 200 presentations exploring how tribology can solve today’s technical, environmental and societal concerns; plenary talks and technical sessions from leading tribology researchers and institutions from around the globe; and opportunities for networking and discussions with principal researchers. During the conference, world-class visionaries will address key areas at the forefront of tribological science, including biotribology, energy and environmental manufacturing, fluid lubrication, surfaces and interfaces, tribochemistry and materials tribology.
