The Running-in of Lubricated Metal-Metal Contacts—A Review on Ultra-Low Wear Systems
Lubricants, 2018 The running-in of lubricated metal–metal contacts leading to ultra-low wear is inseparably connected with the formation of the third body and vice versa. Adequate tribological stressing provides the system with a power density that leads to complex

Overcoming friction and steps towards superlubricity: A review of underlying mechanisms
Applied Surface Science Advances, 2021 Herein, we present a topical review of the advances and the mechanisms involved in achieving superlubricity - the regime of friction in which the coefficient of friction (COF) is less than 0.01. In light of the race towards achieving superlubricity on an

Effects of Multi-Axial Compression on the Mechanical and Fretting Wear Properties of Ti-45Nb Alloys
Metals, 2021 Biocompatible β-type Ti-45Nb alloy with a low elastic modulus is promising in alleviating the stress shielding effect of Ti-based hard-tissue replacement implants. In this work, the ultra-fine-grained (UFG) microstructures with different grain sizes were

Multi-Phase Friction and Wear Reduction by Copper Nanopartices
Lubricants, 2016 Finely dispersed copper nanoparticles were added as an additive to fully-formulated engine oils. The copper additive was in colloidal form, with an inner core of Cu2+ atoms covered by surfactants to form stable reverse micelles that are completely ...
