It became the CSIR/O Division of Tribophysics, which was formed in 1948.

From "CSIRO research for Australia" (1962) pdf pages 56-57:
"After the war, Dr. Bowden returned to England, and Dr. S. H. Bastow became Officer-in-Charge of the Section. The study of lubricants and bearings was extended to cover all aspects of the study of metal surfaces, and a new name, "Tribophysics", meaning "rubbing physics", was coined to describe the Section's work. By 1949, when Dr. Bastow was appointed to the C.S.I.R.O. Executive, the group had grown into a full-scale Division. Dr. W. Boas, an eminent metal physicist, became the Chief of the Division, which moved into a new laboratory in the University grounds four years later."
