Ti1–xAlxN hard coatings are already successfully applied for cutting tool applications with
extreme conditions. Special emphasis in this field is laid on high hardness, oxidation …

In order to improve the tribological properties of 316LVM medical grade stainless steel, TiN
and DLC coatings were deposited. The TiN coating was prepared by CAE-PVD (Cathodic …

Compliant foil bearings offer many advantages over rolling element bearings in high-speed
and high-temperature applications. However, implementation of foil bearings in these …

This paper discussed the friction coefficient evolution of a TiN coated contact during sliding
wear. A hard TiN coating was prepared on a bearing steel (GCr15) substrate by applying the …

Fractals can be extremely useful when applied to tribology. Obtaining fractal descriptions of
engineering surfaces and wear particles requires surface topography information to be …

The present study focuses on the influence of PEO treatments (performed in the AC regime
using mixed aluminate–phosphate baths) on the tribological behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V, dry …

This study aims to reveal the underlying mechanisms responsible for the enhancement of
wear resistance of AISI D2 steel by deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) through in-depth …

Dry sliding wear (pin-on-disc) tests were carried out under ambient conditions at room
temperature for TiC coated and uncoated 303 stainless steel, using alumina as a …

Tribological properties and wear mechanisms of TiN films deposited by arc ion plating (AIP)
against Si 3 N 4, Al 2 O 3 and steel balls were comparatively investigated under different …

For several decades, the increasing productivity in many industrial domains has led to a
significant and ever-increased interest to protective and hard coatings. In this context …
