Share your STLE 2017 Annual Meeting PresentationWith Submission of an Extended Abstract

Each year STLE’s annual meeting is known for its exceptional technical content. With more than 500 papers to choose from, a majorconcern for attendees is scheduling conflicts or they cannot share materials with colleagues who are unable to attend the meeting.

In an effort to provide attendees with the opportunity of not missing a presentation, STLE encourages speakers to submit an optional2-3 page extended abstract or provide digital copies of their presentation slides. We recommend speakers submit materials before

April 24, 2017, to ensure materials are available to attendees before the meeting.

Extended abstracts or presentation slides must be submitted in PDF format and can be emailed to Karl Phipps at:[email protected]. For more information about submission requirements, please visit www.stle.org.

Nanotribology Special SessionSunday, May 21 • 1:30 – 5 pm

Although not part of the official education course curriculum,STLE is pleased to offer this free half-day special session to2017 Annual Meeting attendees. STLE soon will releaseinformation on the content and instructors for this event.No additional fee, but please pre-register in advance atwww.stle.org. Attendance is limited!


Advanced Lubrication 302: AdvancedLubrication RegimesAdvanced Lubrication 302 goes more in-depth on lubricationregimes, wear and wear mechanisms, as well as lubricantfailure analysis. This course includes a series of lubricant failureanalysis case studies on automotive engines, gears andbearings.

Basic Lubrication 103: Basic LubricationOverviewBasic Lubrication 103 is designed primarily for the personentering the lubrication field who needs a broad introductionto lubricants, lubricant-building blocks, and lubricatingmaterials. This course is also for persons not directly involved,but who need a broad overview of lubricants and basiclubricating components. Basic Lubrication 103 does notrequire a formal scientific degree or background, althoughmany technical terms and concepts are covered. Experiencedpeople attend the course to be kept up-to-date on the latestdevelopments, especially in those areas not directly related totheir job function or area of expertise. Thus, Basic Lubrication103 is usually attended by a broad cross section of people suchas technical service, sales, marketing, manufacturing,maintenance, and management, who in some way are involvedin the industry. Basic Lubrication 103 will focus on thefundamentals of lubrication associated with fluid filmlubrication and grease as it applies to basic lubricatedcomponents such as gears and bearings. Also, the course willreview some basics around the basestocks, synthetic lubricantsand lab testing.

Metalworking Fluids 250: Understanding andControlling Metal Removal Fluid FailureOnce a metalworking fluid has been qualified for use in anapplication, its performance depends on successful fluidmanagement. In turn, successful fluids management dependson a fundamental understanding of the factors that workagainst fluid life and fluid performance, as well as cost-effective strategies for preventing these factors from causingmetalworking fluid failure. Metalworking Fluids 250 isdesigned to meet both of these needs. It covers primary failuremechanisms, including the effect of contaminant particle size,water quality, microbes and oil contamination. Also presentedare recommendations on how best to prevent each of thesefactors from destroying metalworking fluid performance andshortening metalworking fluid functional life.

Synthetic Lubricants 204: Basestock Selectionand ApplicationsSynthetic Lubricants 204 provides an introduction to syntheticlubricant basestocks and applications. It compares the use ofthese synthetic lubricants to petroleum-based products andcompares between types of synthetic lubricants. SyntheticLubricants 204 is a continuation from the Synthetic Lubricants203 (Non-Petroleum Fluids and Their Uses) course, howeverattendance of the Synthetic Lubricants 203 course is not aprerequisite.
