An energy description of wear mechanisms and its applications to oscillating sliding contacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
To quantify wear rates, the Archard approach is classically applied. It relates the wear volume to the product of the sliding distance and the normal load.

On the Distinctive Hardness, Anti-Corrosion Properties and Mechanisms of Flame-Deposited Carbon Coating with a Hierarchical Structure in Contrast to a Graphene Layer via Chemical Vapor Deposition

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
Two carbonaceous (amorphous carbon and graphene) coatings were catalytically grown on bulk Ni plates. It was found that the flame-deposited carbon (FDC) layers exhibited a unique hierarchical structure with the formation of FDC/Ni nano-interlocking ...

Nano Serpentine Powders as Lubricant Additive: Tribological Behaviors and Self-Repairing Performance on Worn Surface

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Natural serpentine powders are applicable as additives for various lubricating oils. However, no uniform theories explain their tribological performance, lubrication, and wear mechanism, especially their self-repairing mechanism. Herein, the influence of

Wear rates in urban rail systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A significant part of maintenance costs in urban rail systems (metro, tram, light rapid transit/light metro) is due to wheel-rail wear. Wear rates - measured for example as depth of wear per kilometre run (rolling stock) or per train passage (rails ...

Wear maps for TiC composite based coatings deposited on 303 stainless steel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dry sliding wear (pin-on-disc) tests were carried out under ambient conditions at room temperature for TiC coated and uncoated 303 stainless steel, using alumina as a counterface.
