Surface texturing and solid lubricants have demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce
friction and wear under dry conditions. In recent decades, these two technologies have been …

Understanding the complex nature of wear behavior of materials at high-temperature is of
fundamental importance for several engineering applications, including metal processing …

The limit of applicability of the correlation between the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus
(H/E) of coating systems and their wear resistance has been explored. Experimental …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most broadly utilized solid lubricants with a wide
range of applications, including but not limited to those in the aerospace/space industry …

Solid lubricants are described as solid materials of intentionally introduced or in situ formed
on contact surfaces in relative motion for the purpose of lowering friction and wear and …

This study provides a review of recent progress on designs, properties, and mechanisms of
surface texturing and solid lubricants. Firstly, the design and processing of surface texture …

In modern aerospace, nuclear energy, electric power and other high-tech industries,
increasingly more requirements are put forward for the enhanced performance and …

Self-lubricating materials are becoming more widespread in fields like metal forming or
power generation due to the inability to use conventional lubricants in high-temperature (HT) …

The poor tribological property of Ti6Al4V strictly limits its application as high-speed moving
parts, so three coatings (pure Co, Co-Ti 3 SiC 2, and Co-Cu/Ti 3 SiC 2) were fabricated on …

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a kind of functional ceramic material with excellent
physical and chemical properties. This paper analyzes it from the aspects of mechanical …
