Tribological behaviour of Pearlitic and Bainitic steel grades under various sliding conditions

Tribological behaviour of microalloyed and conventional C–Mn rail steels in a pure sliding condition

“…The evolution of friction coefficient with time was similar for both steels studied; the same conclusion was reached in the study conducted by Via´fara et al 29 For both steels used in this study, the friction coefficient increases rapidly to values between 0.5 and 0.7 and at the end of tests the average coefficient of friction reached a value of 0.6. This result was also observed by Dayot et al 36 The average friction coefficient of 0.6 obtained during these tests was slightly higher than the 0.45 value obtained in a previous study under similar conditions. 37 Tribological tests under different atmospheric conditions (temperature and humidity)…”

Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy investigation of the chemical rearrangement undergone by MoS2 under tribological conditions

“…1 represents the contact configuration used and Table 1 summarizes the contact conditions used in this study. Details of the tribometer are described elsewhere [17,35,36]. A glass is mounted above the contact zone to allow partial visualization of the contact zone.…”
