..., the traditional methods are often intricate and costly. Herein, square and circular bionic textures were fabricated on 45 steel (GB/T 699–2015) surface through a facile and low-cost template-assisted boronizing method. The abrasion resistance was evaluated through friction and wear tests, while the coating...

... to duplex coated SS 316L plates under a dead weight normal load. Un-polished substrates prior to the coating deposition led to improved tribological performance likely due to improve coating adhesion to the substrate surface. The hydrogenated DLC sample variants showed lower friction performance compared...

... lubrication performance and the optimized case was achieved with the incorporation of a 4.0 wt.% ZIF-8@IL additive, resulting in a decrease of about 27% in coefficient of friction and 20% in the wear track width. The notable lubrication achievement is due to the collective effects of rolling, mending...

... explaining wringing and adhesion mechanisms in the blocks have been suggested in the literature, including the role of intermolecular forces, oil surface tension and air pressure. The authors study the frictional sliding of two Jo blocks against each other to obtain insights into the mechanisms of wringing...

...Md Syam Hasan; Michael Nosonovsky Friction and wear are very common phenomena found virtually everywhere. However, it is very difficult to predict tribological (i.e. related to friction and wear) structure–property relationships from fundamental physical principles. Consequently, tribology remains...

... (Al) alloy by electrodeposition. The influence of different interlayers on the microstructure, microhardness, friction and wear properties and electrochemical behavior of the films was investigated. The morphological results show that the porosity of DLC films was reduced and the particles were...
