This article provides a comprehensive review of the research progress in the tribology of
nickel‐based superalloys (NBS). First, the microstructure, friction, and wear characteristics of …

Grain boundary (GB) plastic deformation is a critical deformation mode that can significantly
affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of metals. Given its importance …

Wear of sliding contacts causes device failure and energy costs; however, the microscopic
principle in activating wear of the interfaces under stress is still open. Here, the typical …

In this study, facile salt-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was used to synthesize
ultrathin non-van der Waals chromium sulfide (Cr2S3) with a thickness of∼ 1.9 nm. The …

The prevention of adhesive wear between rail (made of high-strength Cu alloy) and
armature (made of 7075 Al alloy) in the electromagnetic launching system is challenging …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have demonstrated promising potential for flexible
electronics, owning to their atomic thin body thickness and dangling-bond-free surface …

The microstructure is a critical factor governing the functionality of ceramic materials.
Meanwhile, microstructural analysis of electron microscopy images of polycrystalline …

Understanding and controlling interface friction are central to many science and engineering
applications. However, frictional sliding is closely related to adhesion, surface roughness …

A nanoscale friction test using an atomic force microscope (AFM) is modelled as a diatomic
tip in sliding contact with a 2D monolayer supported by a metal substrate. This test is …

This work gives a reasonable exploration of the mechanism of the frictional contact and stick-
slip phenomenon in multi-scale mechanic view. Specifically, the authors classify the …
