in industrial applications, most materials are exposed to wear and friction because multiple conditions are used. however, the tribological properties of these materials can be improved with different techniques. one such technique that improves the frictional property of a surface is the use of self-lubricating coatings. in this study, multicomponent coatings of nominal composition cu-ni3al-mo...

AbstractSputtered MoS2 coatings have been mostly used as a solid lubricant. In this investigation, MoSx/Ni composite coatings with Ni contents varying from 0 to 22 % were deposited onto steel substrate using a DC magnetron sputter process. The MoS2/Ni ratio in the coatings was controlled by sputtering the composite targets. The composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the...

Ion implantation has been widely used to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of single crystalline silicon, an essential material for the semiconductor industry. In this study, the effects of four different ion implantations, Ar, C, N, and Ne ions, on the mechanical and tribological properties of single crystal Si were investigated at both the nanoscale and the microscale. Nanoin...

Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs nanocomposites were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing (HP) sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) sintering methods. Microstructures, mechanical and tribological properties of Cu/Ti3SiC2/C/BN/GNPs nanocomposites were investigated. Microstructures were examined by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical properties...

Friction and wear are major limiting factors for the development and commercial implementation of devices fabricated by surface micromachining techniques. These tribological properties are studied using a polycrystalline silicon nanotractor device, which provides abundant, quantitative information about friction and wear at an actual microelectromechanical system (MEMS) interface. This in situ ...

The mechanical and tribological properties of electrospun fiber mats are of paramount importance to their utility in a large number of applications. In this work, mats of electrospun fibers of poly(hexamethylene adipamide) (PA 6,6) with average fiber diameter of 238 ± 22 nm are characterized for their crystal structure as well as their mechanical and tribological properties. Post-spin thermal a...
