TriboIntel

Tribology
Engineering.

Beyond the numbers — into engineering decisions.

Friction data is only the beginning. TriboIntel transforms raw tribometry signals into clear engineering answers — material selection, failure diagnosis, surface design.

Measure

Precision tribometry — friction force, wear depth, contact resistance — under controlled conditions that mirror real operating environments.

Interpret

AI-assisted signal analysis identifies regimes, anomalies, and failure onset that numbers alone cannot reveal. We find the story inside the curve.

Act

Actionable recommendations: which material to choose, which surface treatment to apply, and why — backed by data but delivered as engineering decisions.

Services

From standardized tribology tests to tailored engineering consulting — quantitative, reproducible results your team can act on.

Friction & Wear Testing

Tribological tests under precisely controlled load, speed, temperature, and atmosphere conditions. We quantify friction coefficient, wear rate, and surface damage with full traceability.

  • Various sliding contact configurations and motion modes
  • Broad range of load, speed, and temperature conditions
  • Dry, lubricated, submerged, and bio-fluid environments
  • Quantitative wear analysis and wear mechanism characterization

Lubrication Characterization

Evaluation of greases, oils, and bio-lubricants across load, speed, and temperature. We identify the optimal lubrication regime and predict film breakdown conditions for industrial and biomedical applications.

  • Lubrication regime mapping and transition analysis
  • Lubricant film integrity and breakdown evaluation
  • Bio-lubricant and specialty fluid performance assessment
  • Lubricant screening and comparative evaluation

Surface & Material Analysis

Post-test examination of worn surfaces and materials. Provides evidence-based input for coating selection, surface design, and heat treatment decisions.

  • Quantitative wear surface characterization
  • Wear mechanism identification and failure mode analysis
  • Mechanical property evaluation of worn regions
  • Material and coating performance assessment

Engineering Consulting

Root-cause diagnosis of wear, noise, and vibration failures. We integrate test data with AI-assisted analysis to deliver structured reports and design recommendations for product development and maintenance teams.

  • Tribological failure analysis with root-cause reporting
  • Material & coating selection for friction / wear optimization
  • AI-assisted friction signal classification and anomaly detection
  • Test program design and custom protocol development
