Abstract
The work is devoted to the practical application of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the theory of self-organization in tribology to obtain certain results, especially in the development of new wear-resistant materials. Wear rate decreases with decreasing entropy production. To reduce wear rate it is necessary to initiate and intensify the process of negative entropy production. Such processes are stable after the self-organization and formation of dissipative structures. The possibilities of shifting self-organization to the softer friction conditions are considered. Article gives examples of practical application of these provisions in order to reduce the wear rate. Such processes include the appropriate selection of the composition of the friction bodies, which can increase the probability of self-organization process.
