Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of
components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including …

Friction and wear phenomena encountered in mechanical systems with moving components
are directly related to efficiency, reliability and life of the system. Hence, minimizing and …

Abstract Nanoscale multilayered TiN/ZrN films were deposited using sequential vacuum-arc
deposition of Ti and Zr targets in a nitrogen atmosphere. Studies of film's properties were …

Targeting to restore the function of load-bearing joints which are subjected to high levels of
friction and wear during the normal activity, the aim of the current study was to assess the …

The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis method was used for studying structure
and properties of multilayer nitride CrN/MoN coatings fabricated by cathode arc physical …

The chapter presented a short review related to the factors that dictate the wear and friction
behavior of various coatings obtained by PVD techniques used for various applications. An …

TiTaZrNb medium entropy coatings and their nitride forms (TiTaZrNb) Nx were synthesized
by direct current magnetron sputtering. The study evaluated the bias voltage affects …

NiMo-5% TiC, NiMo-15% TiC, and NiMo-25% TiC coatings were prepared on GCr15 steel
by laser cladding (LC). The microstructure and the phases of the obtained coatings were …

Ti3SiC2/CaF2 composites were prepared by the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Both
the microstructure of Ti3SiC2/CaF2 and the influence of test temperature on the tribological …
