Friction is a phenomenon that exists extensively in nature and industry; it has proven
necessary in daily life and beneficial in energy scavenging but is also alleged to be the main …

To mitigate and control friction and wear are the primary goals in tribology for a moving
mechanical system. On achieving ultra-low friction and wear, energy efficiency, performance …

The tunable friction behavior of Chitosan (CS)-Ag hydrogel enabled by altering metal ions is
evaluated. Friction control could be achieved under boundary lubrication. When adding Ag+ …

CrCN coatings were deposited using the multi-arc ion plating with different C 2 H 2 flow
rates. Microstructures, mechanical and tribological performances were systematically …

Superlubricity is generally classified as solid superlubricity and liquid superlubricity
according to the lubricants involved at the interfaces, and is a popular research topic in …

Friction behavior of aqueous solution at macroscale is quite different from that at nanoscale.
At macroscale, tribochemistry usually occurs between lubricant and friction surfaces in the …

In this present work, titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coatings were successfully fabricated by
reactive plasma spraying from agglomerated Ti-graphite feedstock under reactive nitrogen …

The tribological performances of Cr/GLC film coupling with Si 3 N 4, SiC, WC, Al 2 O 3 and
ZrO 2 were comparatively studied in seawater. Results indicated that the Cr/GLC film …

Friction and the wear caused by friction will not only lead to energy dissipation, but will also
cause damage to the function of mechanical parts, affecting the precision and lifespan of …

CrN coatings were deposited on 2024Al alloy using arc ion plating apparatus. The CrN
coatings' topography was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The …
