Fretting fatigue is a fatigue damage process that occurs when two surfaces in contact with
each other are subjected to relative micro-slip, causing a reduced fatigue life with respect to …

In this paper, the effect of heat treatment (760–1060° C) on tribological behavior of selective
laser melted Ti6Al4V alloy against Si 3 N 4 counter-ball under different applied loads was …

Nickel-based coatings with different content of zirconia were deposited on steel by short-
pulse laser melting of powder mixtures of pure components. High temperatures during laser …

The dry sliding friction and wear behavior of nano/ultrafine-grained (NG/UFG),
heterogeneous ultrafine-grained (HUFG), and coarse-grained (CG) austenitic stainless …

A new framework which describes the role of three key processes in fretting wear of metals
is proposed, with these three processes being:(i) oxygen transport into the contact;(ii) …

In this work, the microstructure and tribological properties of coarse-grained nickel aluminum
bronze (NAB) alloys with different ratios of α/β′ phases were studied at room temperature …

The effect of a rough, textured surface and contact orientations on the fretting behavior of self-
mated martensitic 34CrNiMo6+ QT steel was examined via a large annular flat-on-flat …

The tribological properties of γ-TiAl alloys under sliding condition have been well
established, but the mechanisms for fretting wear, especially at elevated temperature …
