Tribological behavior of silica or/and alumina coatings on stainless steel

摘要

In this work, the development of protective coatings on stainless steel against wearwas achieved by sol-gel route. Selected materials were silica and alumina based compoundswhich are well known to be good candidates to tackle this problem because of their behavior[1–4]. The friction and wear between a couple of coated and uncoated stainless steels wereinvestigated using a pin-on-disk tribometer.
