Determination of the Optimum Thickness of Antifriction Coatings and Pressures within the Contact Zone after the Strain Hardening

摘要

Proposed is a technique for the determination of the optimum sizes (dimensions) and physicomechanical properties of the antifriction coatings on the basis of the solving a problem involving the intrusion of a unit (single) protrusion into the surface. Determined are the tribotechnical parameters of coatings and the conditions of the implementation of an elastic contact during friction, which ensures the minimum wear of the surfaces and a reduction in the running-in time.
