Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Dense tantalum carbide (TaC) ceramics were prepared using TaC nanopowder via spark
plasma sintering (SPS). The effects of the sintering temperature and applied pressure on the …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) with excellent self-lubrication performance is expected to
relieve the friction resistance and wear of NiCr–Cr 3 C 2 coatings. However, the poor …

Metal based solid self-lubricating coating is an important way to reduce the wear of friction
pair and has been widely employed in several friction conditions. However, its application in …

Niobium carbide (NbC x)-based materials have garnered significant attention in energy-and
power-based applications. The physiochemistry-mediated preparation of two-dimensional …

Because the wear and corrosion of marine engineering equipment will cause huge
economic losses to enterprises every year, thus it is necessary to develop advanced …

Cobalt–chromium–molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy is a material recommended for biomedical
implants; however, to be suitable for this application, it should have good tribological …

Abstract Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a pressure-assisted sintering process in which
high density and mechanical properties are usually reached. This study applied the SPS to …

This study proposes an innovative approach in the quest for piezoelectric materials, aiming
to replace lead‐based ceramics (PZTs), known for their high toxicity. Potassium sodium …

Reduced hardness and wear resistance may limit SAE C17200 copper‐beryllium alloy use
in manufacturing applications, such as plunger tips of die casting machines and as cores …
