This review article comprises of three parts. Firstly, reports of brake manufacturers on the beneficial impact of solid lubricants for pad formulations are surveyed. Secondly, since tribofilms were identified to play a crucial role in friction stabil...

Al₂O₃ with SiC, silver, and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) powder mixture was produced by ball milling using ethanol as dispersion media. The GNP-reinforced Al₂O₃-SiC-Ag ceramic–metal composites were densified by spark plasma sintering technolog...

The use of silver-based antimicrobial materials has been growing recently. Considering the threat of developing silver-resistant bacteria, it is essential to address the endurance of such materials and the amount of silver released into the environme...

Keeping a coating–substrate system undamaged during heavy-load elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conditions is challenging. To overcome this problem, an EHL model with a coated gear pair was built. Firstly, based on the full-system finite el...

Polymer seals are utilized in various engineering applications to prevent leakage and contamination. The study investigates the wear and friction behavior of PTFE-based dynamic rotary seals, targeting their usage in space applications. Pin-on-disc dr...

The effects of the Cu content on the microstructural, mechanical and tribological properties of the TiAlSiN–Cu coatings were investigated in an effort to improve the wear resistance with a good fracture toughness for cutting tool applications....

This study aimed to develop hydrogenated amorphous carbon thin films with embedded metallic nanoparticles (a–C:H:Me) of controlled size and concentration. Towards this end, a novel hybrid deposition system is presented that uses a combination of Plas...

(1) Background: Operational properties and durability of dies in different metal-forming processes significantly depend on their surface quality. Major die failures are related to surface damage due to heat checking cracks, wear, etc. Thereby, streng...
