The book "Abrasive wear and protection against it" by P. N. Lviv is a unique and in-depth study that immerses the reader in the world of materials science and mechanics. This work will become an indispensable assistant for engineers, students of technical specialties and anyone interested in the issues of material wear and protection. Author, P. N. Lviv is known for its significant contributions to science and practice, and in this book he shares his knowledge and experience to help readers understand the complex processes involved in abrasive wear. But what is abrasive wear, and why is it so important? This is a process in which the surfaces of materials wear out under the influence of mechanical forces and friction, which can lead to significant economic losses in the production and operation of equipment. The book reveals not only the causes of this phenomenon, but also methods for its prevention, which makes it relevant for a wide range of specialists. Lviv masterfully combines theory and practice, offering the reader not only scientific justifications, but also real examples from industry. It considers the different types of abrasive wear, the mechanisms of its occurrence and the factors affecting this process. The reader will be able to learn about modern methods of wear protection, such as the use of special coatings, the choice of optimal materials and technologies that help extend the service life of equipment. The book will be of interest not only to professional engineers and researchers, but also to students studying mechanical and materials science disciplines. It will be an excellent tool for those who want to deepen their knowledge in the field of material protection and improve their skills. P. N. Lviv uses accessible language and clear explanations, which makes complex concepts understandable even for beginners. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues, including the economic aspects of wear and tear, the impact of abrasive materials on performance and safety, and the environmental impacts associated with the use of various technologies. Lviv focuses on the importance of choosing the right materials and technologies, which allows not only to reduce costs, but also to increase the efficiency of equipment The author's style is distinguished by scientific rigor and at the same time accessibility.
