Fundamental Mechanisms of Tribology and Their Implications

Abstract

The objective of the proposed research was to create hard layers on metallic surfaces in boundary-lubricated sliding and to investigate their tribological behavior. In addition, the goal was to investigate the basic mechanism of friction of lubricated metallic surfaces. We have investigated the following aspects: (a) Experimental investigation of the tribological behavior of metallic and coated surfaces in boundary lubrication and (b) Finite Element Analysis of friction and wear of the coated surfaces, and the delamination process at the interface. Keyword: Oxide layers.
