The first call for project proposals was launched in April 2002. A large number of proposals was submitted, altogether 32 proposals with more than 50 research laboratories involved. In order to achieve a good interaction between fundamental research and applications to focus on the Management Committee decided after discussion at the evaluation meeting in Lyon 8.11.2002 to regroup the technical work and the projects in the following three working groups:
The new structure has turned out to be good as the two first working groups are application oriented and combine the scientific work around problems related to the two application areas. The third one is more scientifically oriented. It focuses on the main tribological challenge in this action, to find new and innovative tribological solutions by combining in a creative way the physical phenomena, the material behaviour and the chemical reactions and their interactions at the top surface where friction and wear takes place. The scientific topics mentioned in the MoU are integrated in these three working groups. The COST Materials Technical Committee approved the regrouping when accepting the Action Annual Report at its meeting in Berlin 3-4.11.2003. The final status in the working groups is by the end of the Action the following: - WG1 - ENGINE SYSTEMS: 11 projects, 8 of them were finished and total realisation was 92%. Total work effort was 34 person years. Funding was 2.491.000 Euro distributed as 56 % public, 18 % industrial and 26 % own funding and 19 companies were involved. - WG2 – TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS: 17 projects, 9 of them were finished and total realisation was 92%. Total work effort was 143 person years. Funding was 7.369.000 Euro distributed as 40 % public, 30 % industrial and 30 % own funding and 47 companies were involved. - WG3 – TRIBOCHEMISTRY: 14 projects, 11 of them were finished and total realisation was 93%. Total work effort was 83 person years. Funding was 2.233.000 Euro distributed as 42 % public, 25 % industrial and 33 % own funding and 37 companies were involved. A full list of COST 532 projects and their status is in Appendix 1. A summary slide-show is in Appendix 2. New project proposals were accepted to end of 2005 and after that the Action was closed for new proposal submissions. The COST 532 Action included a total work effort of 260 person years in 42 projects. The total funding was 12.093.000 Euro distributed as 43 % public, 27 % industrial and 30 % own funding and 103 companies, 58 universities and research institutes from 27 countries were involved in the project research work. The work in the working groups was coordinated by the WG coordinators. Secretarial functions related to the meetings, STCM, budget etc was taken care of by the Scientific Officer at the COST Office. A responsible coordinator for the STSM was appointed. The vice-chairman was responsible for the action web site. The MC chairman and vice-chairman were coordinating the whole action.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS The COST 532 Action has focused European research work to solve friction, wear and lubrication related problems in engines and transmissions. The work was carried out in three working groups: WG1 – ES Engine System with research and development activities focusing on low friction engines, chemical factors in engine wear, microsurface triboeffects, wear reducing coatings and environmental impact reduction. WG2 – TS Transition Systems with research and development activities focusing on development of oil-free power train, contact fatigue and fracture, PVD/CVD coatings for energy reduction, high performance lubricants and development of new tribological solutions for components such as clutches, gears, brakes and springs. WG3 – CH Tribochemistry with research and development activities focusing on lubricant-hard coating interaction, additive surface interaction, water contaminant effect on fatigue, oxidation effects, tribocorrosion, nanostructured coatings and self lubricating materials and coatings. Major scientific results:
Much work was focused on improving the understanding of environmentally adaptable fluids in engines and transmissions. New techniques for emission reduction in engines by use of biogas, advanced lubricants, coatings and light weight materials were developed. Major new technological solutions:
The results are benefited in new industrial products and improvements in production methods in the 103 companies directly involved in the research work. The 42 projects carried out have already by now when the 5 year Action comes to an end resulted in 32 industrial improvements in commercial use. 6. DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS
The technical and scientific results from the action are in detail reported in:
A complete list of published reports is found in the Scientific Final Report for each project and at the Action web page. A proceedings on 289 pages including 29 technical presentations was published in connection with the Workshop in Ghent 18-19.10.2004. A proceedings on 248 pages including 28 technical presentations was published in connection with the Workshop in Porto 13-14.10.2005. A proceedings on 1078 pages including 108 technical presentations was published in connection with the Final Conference ECOTRIB 2007 in Ljubljana, Slovenia 13-15.6.2007.
The first COST 532 Workshop was held 18-20.10.2004 at Ghent University, Belgium, as a joint conference with EC 5th FP Oil-Free Powertrain group and the European Virtual Tribology Institute (VTI). The two first days were six invited keynote lectures and 23 technical reports presented. The presentations are documented in the conference proceedings. The third day was arranged by the VTI and it consisted of six special invited lectures related to Challenges in Surface Engineering and the lectures were followed by discussion sessions. The lectures were distributed as printed copies at the workshop. The joint conference was considered very successful as altogether 104 delegates from 26 countries participated. The second COST 532 Workshop was held 12-14.10.2005 at Porto University, Portugal, as a joint conference with EC 5th FP Oil-Free Powertrain group and the Surface Texturing program of International Energy Agency Implementation Agreement for Advanced Material for Transportation (IEA IA AMT). The first day 15 invited papers were presented on the topic Surface texturing. The two following days were 8 invited keynote lectures and 27 technical reports presented. The presentations are documented in the conference proceedings. The joint conference was very successful as altogether 93 delegates from 26 countries participated. The third COST 532 Final Reporting Workshop was held 12-15.6.2007 at Ljubljana University, Slovenia, as a joint conference with the ECOTRIB 2007 International Conference, the EC 5th FP Oil-Free Powertrain group and the Surface Texturing program of International Energy Agency Implementation Agreement for Advanced Material for Transportation (IEA IA AMT). The first day 9 invited papers were presented on the topic Surface texturing. The three following days were 15 invited keynote lectures, 91 technical reports and 18 posters presented. The presentations are documented in the conference proceedings. The joint conference was very successful as altogether 210 delegates from 35 countries participated.
The COST 532 homepage was central for the action communication. There is information about the action, guidelines for submitting proposals, evaluation information, information about STSM, information about next meetings, project status and results reports and other documentation. Ecole Centrale de Lyon manages the page: http://ltds.ec-lyon.fr/cost532/
In the 32 projects approved at the first evaluation meeting in November 2002 were the total number of partners 77, which shows that the projects already at the starting phase included a considerable pattern of cooperation. This has further developed and increased during the action as new countries and institutes have joined the action. By the end of the action it included 58 universities and research institutes and 103 companies. The EC 5FP project “Oil-free powertrain” including a large consortium from Germany, Austria, Hungary and Czech Republic had objectives in line with the COST 532 action and was integrated in the action as project WG2/TS1. Joint workshops were arranged in October 2004, October 2005 and June 2007. A joint workshop was arranged together with the EC funded Virtual Tribology Institute on Surface Engineering in Ghent, Belgium in October 2004. In USA has the Department of Energy launched a research programme "Integrated Engineered Surface Technology to Reduce Friction and Increase Durability" that is coordinated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and runs over the period 1.7.2004-1.6.2008. This program is the Annex IV within the International Energy Agency Implementation Agreement for Advanced Materials for Transportation (IEA IP AMT). The COST action decided about collaboration with this programme. The USA/ORNL applied to join the COST 532 action and their representatives were invited to MC meetings from 2004. Joint conferences were held in Porto, Portugal 12th October, 2005 and in Ljubljana, Slovenia 12th June, 2007.
The transfer of results has mainly been done through the strong involvement of companies during the realisation of the research and development work, the annual open workshops and publications. At the joint Working Group meeting in Uppsala, 2nd November 2006 were 12 industrial improvements in commercial use generated from the research projects presented and discussed. By the end of the Action has the following industrial improvements in commercial use been reported:
The COST 532 action was in close connection with the EC funded Virtual Tribology Institute coordinated by VITO in Belgium and the EC 5th FP project Oil-Free Powertrain. The progress of the action was regularly reported to the International Tribology Council. The action was in cooperation with the activities of the EUREKA ENIWEP program and presentations on this were presented at the Workshop 14.10.2005, the MC meetings 15.10.2005 and 12.6.2007.
8. SELF EVALUATION The COST 532 Action was considered very successful by the participants. In a very interdisciplinary field, such as tribology - involving material science, physics, chemistry and mechanical engineering - the achieved scientific and technological results would not have been possible without a large networked research activity. This kind of networking is, however, a slow process but the COST 532 could take advantage of the first stage of networking in the field taken place in the COST 516 Tribology Action carried out 1994-2000. It is interesting that even a very small funding of only 401.000 € COST funding for the Action coordination can have such a large leverage resulting in a more than 12 million € research activity. The COST mechanism is considered very efficient as it in this case turned out in management costs being only 3% of the total research programme volume. This is, indeed, a very low number in international research programmes. The Management Committee strongly supports increased EC funding for this kind of efficient research networking and organisation activity. Scientific and technical results The Action resulted in major scientific results:
The action resulted in major technological new solutions:
The results are benefited in new industrial products and improvements in production methods in the 103 companies involved in the research work. The 42 projects carried out have already by now when the 5 year Action comes to an end resulted in 32 industrial improvements in commercial use. Three Workshops and Conference were arranged, 2004 in Ghent, Belgium, 2005 in Porto, Portugal and 2007 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The Workshops were arranged jointly with the European Virtual Tribology Institute, the EU 5th FP project Oil-free powertrain, National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinating the programme on Surface Texturing under the US Department of Energy and the EUREKA ENIWEB programme. All three workshops were well attended with 100-200 participants and were of very high scientific level including highly ranked experts from e.g. Australia, Japan, China, USA, Canada, Korea in addition to the European scientists. The best 51 papers presented at the Final COST532 and ECOTRIB 2007 Conference were chosen to be published in Special Issues of three highly ranked peer reviewed tribology journals: Wear, Tribology International and Tribotest. The reporting activity was extremely good. The project results were documented and published in 628 reports. As many as 166 of them are published in international peer reviewed journals, 318 in proceedings of international conferences and 144 as national reports.
There was a quick starting up of the action after it was officially launched in early 2002. The first call for project proposals resulted in 32 submitted proposals from 15 different countries including altogether 77 project partners. The action included all together 58 universities and research institutes and 103 companies. The European dimension was very good as the action included 30 countries, 27 of them from Europe and in addition Ukraine, Israel and USA. There was some unfortunate delay because of the COST budgetary restrictions in 2003 which delayed the first kick-off meeting with 6 months and resulted in limitations in number of delegates that could be reimbursed both at the first kick-off meeting and the first working group meetings. However, the delay was in many projects used for funding arrangements so the effect was not serious. To ensure the transformation of the results to the European industry there was a large number of companies involved. Eleven STSM:s were carried out and this turned out to be an important instrument for improving the contacts between partners. The action was carried out as a successful large European tribology research and networking activity according to the action plan and schedule.
