International Conference on Tribology in Manufacturing Processes and Advanced Surface Engineering on June 26-28, 2024 in Alcoy, Spain

The conference will bring together scientists from engineering and industry to discuss significant recent developments in tribology. It represents an opportunity to gather an interdisciplinary community to discuss applied research in manufacturing processes. More specifically, after the success of the first nine editions, this year’s edition will focus on 10 thematic areas of tribology:

Advanced Lubricants and Lubrication Techniques.

Surface Engineering and Coatings.

Friction, Wear, and Contact Mechanics.

Joining Technologies and Tribology.

Tribology in Additive Manufacturing.

Tribology in Machining and Forming Processes.

Modeling, Simulation, and Experimental Techniques.

Industrial Applications and Case Studies.

Environmentally Friendly Tribological Solutions.

Other Topics related to Tribological Phenomena.

It signifies an occasion to gather a community to deliberate on the practical applications of research within manufacturing processes.

Additionally, a student competition is set to spotlight selected contributions from students to give them recognition and engagement. We extend our gratitude to three vital groups. Firstly, the energetic program committee of 2024, whose insightful contributions were instrumental in shaping our robust agenda. Secondly, the IRGTM executive committee, whose unwavering support and trust have been fundamental to the conference’s consistent growth and maturity. Lastly, we thank the contributors who will enrich the conference with their presentations.

But the ICTMP is not just about the presentations – it’s about our connections and friendships, helping us all share and learn better. Use the breaks, the welcome reception, and even those evening hangs on meeting new people and introducing friends to friends. And if you’re into it, join the special interest groups where you can help make things even more remarkable.
