The use of cutting tools in progressively more severe conditions in the metal-mechanics industry and the requirement to increase tool life against friction, wear and high temperature corrosion made of surface treatments ...

One of the purposes of surface engineering is to combine physical-chemical, tribological and mechanical properties of materials aiming high hardness, low friction coefficient and high wear resistance, associated with ...

In dry sliding of two surfaces, the friction force depends on the pair of materials and the contact conditions. If the material and operating conditions remain unchanged, the friction force is constant. Techniques for ...
