“…The TLA technique has been applied by far most extensively to study the surface wear due to reciprocating motion between various components in automobiles [1,3,8,[10][11][12][13]. The studies included routine applications to measure surface wear as well as technological research for the improvement of better design of the system and newer material with superior tribological properties.…”

“…The various critical components of automobiles where mechanical interaction between two surfaces leads to wear, investigated by TLA technique, are cylinder housing, piston ring, cam follower, valve seat, fuel injection equipment, gear box, brake, etc. The development of better lubricants and additives is tested routinely by setting up of test bench at several accelerator based laboratories [12]. TLA technique has also been applied in armament, aeronautic and space industries and in many other areas [1,3,[14][15][16][17].…”

Thin layer activation (TLA) technique is a powerful nuclear technique based on the production of a radioisotope in the surface of a material by a charged particle induced nuclear reaction, followed by an estimation of the loss of the activity which is a measure of the surface loss of materials in the range of nanometer to hundreds of micrometer in the fields of wear, corrosion or erosion. The technique has been found to be a very useful tool in the basic scientific research and industrial applications. The present review describes the basic principle of TLA technique, its characteristic features, methodology, scope, applications and various recent developments regarding its growing use. Some of our earlier TLA work carried out with α and heavy ion ( 16 O) in various applied areas is also included here. Heavy ions were used because no other light ions (particularly protons) were available at our cyclotron.
