This work combines two industrially friendly processing methods in order to create wear resistant and solid-lubricating composite coatings potentially suitable for high load applications. Layered were fabricated over wrought stainless steel 444 (SS444) by compression molding a mixture of solid lubricant polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, 80 wt%), polyimide (PI, 20 onto iron aluminide (Fe3A...

Iron aluminides are considered as candidate materials for high temperature applications their excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance. In the present work, iron-aluminide coatings were developed by friction surfacing (6351 aluminum alloy deposited on a low-carbon steel substrate) followed diffusion heat treatment. The initial found to be geometrically homogenous adhered well substrate. tre...
