Tribofilms Produced by Supply of Fine Metal Particles in Vacuum

This study demonstrates wear-protective tribofilms produced by an artificial supply of fine metal particles onto rubbing steel surfaces in vacuum. The supplied metal particles were Ag, Bi, Cu, Ni, Ti, and Fe, with the diameters of the particles ranging from 20 nm to 45 μm. The influence of th...
