Overview of Coating Materials, Surface Treatments, and Screening Techniques for Tribological Applications-Part 1: Coating Materials and Surface Treatments
Abstract
This paper reviews the commonly used coating materials and surface treatments for tribological applications. The coating materials considered are plastics, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyamide-imide, polyphenylene sulfide, and polyimide; molybdenum disulfide; graphite; cadmium oxide-graphite-silver; calcium fluoride-sitoer-glass-nickel-chrome; hard chïome; electtoless nickel; silver, and some selected carbides, nitrides, borides, and oxides. Surface treatments considered are carburizing, nitriding, carbonitriding, bonding, induction hardening, flame hard' ening, and laser hardening. Some examples of industrial applications are presented.
