Comparing Tribochemical Film Formation and Durability at Steel and CrN Coating Interface in Boundary Lubrication

One of the main challenges that engine oil manufacturers are now facing is to reduce friction losses while at the same time increasing the durability of engine components. New materials are being used for engine components, alongside and to replace conventional ferrous materials. More components ar...
