Nickel-Boron autocatalytic coatings are widely used in several industries to improve mechanical properties of materials such as hardness and wear resistance. Tribological properties were evaluated in Ni-B autocatalytic coatings deposited on AISI/SAE 1018 carbon steel before and after a heat treatment at 450 °C for one hour. Tribological tests were carried out by dry sliding, using a load of 5 N and a sliding speed of 0.012 m/s, in a homemade ball-on-disk tribometer, which followed ASTM G99 standard. According to the tribological evaluation, the heat treatments applied to Ni-B coatings improved their tribological performance. This research corroborates that by applying an adequate heat treatment, hardness and wear resistance of Ni-B coatings can be improved significantly.

In recent years, the efforts to better control friction and wear have focused on surface topography modification through surface texturing. To study the mutual influence of surface roughness and texture features, this paper developed one comprehensive mathematical model of mixed lubrication to study the tribological performance of the rough-textured conjunction. The typical ring-liner conjunction was chosen as the research object. In particular, the effects of skewness and kurtosis were considered based on the non-Gaussian distribution of asperity height. In this way, the influences of non-Gaussian distribution properties and surface texturing on the tribological performance were analyzed. The results show that the influences of skewness and kurtosis on the tribological performance are nontrivial and should not be neglected in the mixed lubrication. Compared to the Gaussian distribution, considering the non-Gaussian distribution can represent the physical rough surfaces more accurately. Surfaces with negative skewness were found to generally result in better tribological properties. Moreover, the tribological performance improved by surface texturing can also be improved or reduced by the effect of skewness and kurtosis. As a result, the optimization of surface texturing should take the effects of roughness parameters into account.

High-performance anti-wear polyetheretherketone/polytetrafluoroethylene (PEEK/PTFE) blends have drawn much attention over the past few years, owing to their wide range of potential applications. However, a convenient and effective method to prepare such blends with superior mechanical and tribological properties is still lacking. In this work, we propose a promising approach that uses melt-processable PTFE (MP PTFE), instead of conventional PTFE, to prepare anti-wear blends. MP PTFE, with melt flow abilities under appropriate conditions, can disperse homogeneously in PEEK, enhancing both the mechanical and tribological properties of the PEEK/PTFE blend. To prove this postulation, in this work, both MP PTFE and commercial PTFE were blended with PEEK, separately, and the effects of PTFE type and content on the tensile and tribological properties of the blends were studied. The results showed that, although the addition of commercial PTFE to PEEK could increase the wear resistance, it decreased the tensile strength of PEEK significantly. Compared to the blends with commercial PTFE, the blends with MP PTFE exhibited better tribological performance and higher tensile strength for PTFE content below 10 wt%. It was confirmed that the better dispersion of MP PTFE in PEEK endowed the blends with higher tensile strength. The surface analysis indicated that the MP PTFE could readily migrate to and enrich the surfaces of the blends. The relatively high PTFE content on the surface favored the formation of tribo-films, enhancing the tribological properties of the blends.

In order to improve the tribological performance of the physical vapor-deposited AlCrN coatings, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings were fabricated on the AlCrN coatings surface through the thermal spraying method. The microstructure, adhesive strength, hardness, and tribological properties were investigated. Reciprocating sliding tests against SiC ball were executed with a ball-on-plate tribometer. Results showed that the adhesive strength between the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings and substrate was increased by about 15% compared with single AlCrN coatings. Compared with the single MoS2/PTFE coatings, the hardness of the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings surface was increased by about 15%. The MoS2/PTFE layer can availably reduce the friction coefficient of single AlCrN layer, and the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings exhibited the lowest and the most stable friction coefficient. In addition, the MoS2/PTFE layer existed on the wear track and accumulated on both the sides, which was the main reason that the friction coefficient was still lower compared with the samples without MoS2/PTFE coatings.
