description Rapid advances in modern industrial tribo-systems under high temperatures and heavy loads generate a growing demand for lubricating materials used in extreme environmental conditions. Metal-based lubricant coatings with excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability are widely used on core parts to reduce friction in harsh environments. This paper reviews the progress on modulating the frictional properties of coatings by designing the components and preparation techniques to prolong the lifetime of metal-based lubrication coatings. The impacts of the microstructural changes on the mechanical performances, including hardness, plasticity, interfacial adhesion, and environmental stability, were essential for the deformation and crack propagation of the coatings. Their performances and lubrication mechanisms were concerned under heavy loads, in a wide range of temperatures, and in corrosive marine environments. Finally, the study concluded the basic requirements of metal-based coatings for extreme environments at this stage. The research challenges and potential problems of metal-based coatings for long-life applications were emphasized. In the future, more research and breakthroughs of lubricant coatings are needed in the areas of super-lubrication and long-life service in order to expand their applications in extreme environments.
