Fundamental mechanisms of tribology and their implications. Final technical report, 1 May 1982-31 January 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5571415
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. The authors 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.
