In automotive and aerospace fields, the use of lightweight materials is required. Magnesium its alloys combine a low density with high mechanical properties excellent thermal conductivity. However, those suffer from corrosion wear resistances. The combined action also critical for these materials. Tribocorrosion magnesium alloy AZ31 has been investigated reciprocal sliding as function applied l...

To improve the anti-tribocorrosion property, and decrease metal dissolution wear of stainless-steel components caused by synergistic action corrosion friction in marine environments, Ti-DLC coatings were obtained on steel substrate using a filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) system adjusting bias voltage. The structure, mechanical properties, corrosion, tribocorrosion behavior investigated. Inc...

Abstract Current tribocorrosion research of metallic materials and their surface protective coatings mainly focuses on short-term properties, with test time 0.5–2.0 h a sliding distance 50–500 m, which may significantly deviate from the practical long-term service condition thus cause catastrophe marine equipments. In this study, three carbon-based multilayer (Ti/DLC, TiC x /DLC, Ti—TiC /DLC) w...
