Journal bearings are critical components in rotating machinery, providing smooth motion and reducing friction between moving parts. Over time, however, these bearings are subjected to wear, which can lead to performance degradation, increased maintenance costs, and even catastrophic failures. This review article provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of wear in journal bearings, including adhesive, abrasive, corrosive, and fatigue wear. It also explores the factors that influence wear rates, such as lubrication conditions, material properties, load, speed, and operating environment. The article highlights recent advances in wear-resistant materials and surface coatings, as well as emerging diagnostic techniques for monitoring wear in real-time. By synthesizing findings from recent studies, this review aims to offer insights into optimizing journal bearing design and maintenance strategies to enhance reliability and extend service life in various industrial applications. Future research directions are also discussed, emphasizing the need for more sustainable and efficient approaches to mitigate wear in journal bearings.
