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

Nanomaterials, 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 ...

Wear rates in urban rail systems [PDF]

, 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 ...

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

, 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.

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

Nanomaterials, 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

Extruded and injection moulded virgin PA 6/6 as abrasion resistant material [PDF]

, 2017
Polyamide (PA6/6) is often used as a tribological pair in abrasion prevalent applications such as hinges and sliders. PA6/6 is frequently processed by injection moulding and extrusion process.
