IN SITU FORMATION OF SOLID LUBRICANT PARTICLES: A NEW WAY TO OBTAIN SELF LUBRICATING SINTERED STEELS.

摘要

Solid lubrication and solid lubricants are the most promising choices for controlling friction and wear in energy efficient modern systems[1-4]. There is no single solid lubricant that can provide low friction and low wear over broad operational conditions [5]. In order to achieve a combination of high wear resistance, high load support and low friction coefficient, a multi functional production process combining purpose-oriented phases can be applied [6-7].
