"From the Cradle to the Grave - Learn, From the Powder to the Coating - Inferno" is the title of the latest episode where STLE interviews Dr. Hooshang Heshmat, a Leading Founder and Technical Director at Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc. (MiTi). His pioneering research work, along with his published articles, papers and books, has generated a scientific field within the field of tribology known as powder lubrication or third-body lubrication. He posits that "under appropriate geometries, powders behave in a similar way to liquid lubricants, thus, generating a hydrodynamic-like pressure, and consequently, a load capacity." Powder lubrication can be used in applications for extreme environments, and Dr. Heshmat explores this notion in the interview, as well as providing detail on his new book, Tribology of Interface Layers.
