The present study discusses the influence of an a-C:H coating on the tribological parameters of sliding pairs under mixed friction. Using the PVD method, the a-C:H coating was formed on specimens made from AISI 4337 steel. The sliding friction and wear process was carried out on the pairs of AISI 4337 steel and SAE48 bearing alloy, which were lubricated with 10W40 biodegradable engine oil. The investigation...
This paper presents the effect of lubricating additives used in engine oils on wear processes characteristic of rolling contact in the presence of a lubricating medium. A comprehensive approach to the problem was proposed by applying a D-optimal poliselective experimental design incorporating the influence of the most significant operational factors (load, temperature and lubricating additives). The...
