In recent years innovation in carbon based materials have encouraged both researchers as
well as industrialists to develop materials/composites with improved tribological properties …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have gained wide attraction, due to ultra-low coefficient
of friction, high resistance to wear, excellent mechanical properties, and inert to chemical …

The high-flash heat generated by direct contact at asperity tips under high contact stress and
shear significantly promotes the tribocatalytic reaction between a lubricating medium and a …

Carbon-based coatings are of wide interest due to their application in machine elements
subjected to continuous contact where fluid lubricant films are not permitted. This paper …

In this paper, the mechanical and tribological behaviours of various compositions of
aluminium 6063 alloy–clay (Al-clay) composites for brake pad applications were studied …

It is imperative to develop a novel matching of metallic substrate and self-lubricating coating
for aircraft spherical plain bearing in a wide range of service conditions. As a new type of …

The present work deals with the characterization of the scratch resistance of two different
types of coatings, ie, chromium nitride (CrN) and diamond-like carbon prepared on …

Aluminum-based composite materials have garnered considerable attention in recent years
owing to their outstanding mechanical and tribological properties. The integration of clay …

Since the inception of Nickel electrodeposition coating by G. Bird in 1837, it has been the
area under discussion of research. From the past several decades, prominence has shifted …

The paper presents the results of mechanical and tribological tests of new TiN/aC: H
multilayer coatings, which were compared with the properties of single TiN and aC: H …
