Summary: By fabricating Ni/Si3N4 composite coatings with high particle content, achieving ultra-low friction coefficient in water sliding against Si3N4 ball is possible. The essential conditions for this include the formation of smooth contact interface and the presence of silicon hydroxide as a tribo-chemical product. This behavior of ceramic composite coating may provide a new approach for low energy loss water lubrication systems.

Summary: This study evaluated the friction and wear characteristics of graphene coatings with lubricants containing different ratios of graphene ink to deionized water. Dry graphene ink and pure DI water led to peeling of the coating and rapid increase in friction coefficient, while lubricants with graphene ink added to DI water formed a lubricating film on the coating and significantly reduced the friction coefficient. Severe wear morphologies were observed under dry and pure DI water conditions, but insignificant wear morphologies were formed with the lubricant containing graphene ink. A mixing ratio of 100:10 and 100:5 of DI water to graphene ink resulted in the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate, respectively. Long-term experiments confirmed that the lubricant with a 100:10 mixing ratio exhibited excellent lubrication properties, significantly reducing the friction coefficient and wear rate compared to dry or pure DI water lubrication conditions.

Summary: The mechanical and tribological properties of CrBN coatings modified by Ni or Cu incorporation were compared. While CrBN-Cu coatings showed a lower friction coefficient compared to CrBN and CrBN-Ni coatings, the wear rate was higher due to the greater hardness decline caused by Cu incorporation. On the other hand, the plastic deformation enhancement induced by Ni incorporation led to a lower wear rate for CrBN-Ni coatings compared to CrBN coatings.

Summary: Inspired by the low friction of self-mated SiC in water, a two-stage technique is proposed to deposit Ni-P-SiC coating with a high particle content to achieve low friction against SiC in water. The process involves electrophoretic deposition of SiC particles layer on mild steel substrate followed by electroless plating of Ni-P coating. The effects of SiC content on surface appearance, phase structure, and cohesive strength were studied, with great attention paid to the friction behavior of the coatings in water. Experimental results demonstrate that the two-stage technique effectively enhances the implanted SiC particle content compared to traditional electroless plating, and the lowest friction coefficient of 0.015 can be achieved for the Ni-P-SiC coatings with the highest SiC particle content. The major surface degradation mode involves abrasive wear during running-in, followed by dominance of tribochemical wear at the low friction stage.

Summary: The reciprocating wear behavior of high velocity oxy-fuel WC-12Co coatings against SiC and Si3N4 counter balls was studied by varying the load. The WC-12Co/SiC tribo-pair showed lower coefficient of friction values compared to WC-12Co/Si3N4 tribo-pair. The volume wear rate of the coating was lower when paired with SiC counter ball and increased with load regardless of the counter ball material. Tribo-chemical products reduced the wear rate of the coatings. Abrasion, surface fatigue, and tribo-oxidation were observed wear mechanisms for both SiC and Si3N4 counter balls under higher loads.

Summary: Tantalum-doped graphite-like carbon coatings were obtained by magnetron sputtering, and the effects of Ta content on microstructure, mechanical, and tribological properties were systematically evaluated. Increasing Ta doping resulted in coarser columnar structure, decreased sp(3)C content, and lower hardness and elastic modulus of the coatings, but improved adhesion strength. A Ta-GLC coating with 4.79 at% Ta exhibited the lowest wear rate due to synergistic effects of higher adhesion strength, graphitization structure, and the formation of TaC and Ta nanoclusters.

Summary: Electroless nickel composite coatings with the addition of WS2 and Si3N4 nanoparticles show potential for high-temperature tribological applications. By increasing the WS2 dosage, the content of WS2 in the coating and the micro-hardness increased. After annealing, the crystallization process led to an increase in hardness. The main wear mechanism changed from adhesive wear to abrasive wear. The annealed Ni-P-Si3N4-WS2 coating with a WS2 dosage of 2.5 g/L exhibited excellent mechanical properties at room and high temperatures.

Summary: Temperature and thermal stress greatly influence the working performance and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). By simulating and analyzing the thermal behavior and thermal stress distribution during a 1C discharge rate, it is found that the temperature distribution inside the battery is mainly affected by the heat exchange surface and the position of the tabs, with a localized high-temperature region occurring at the positive tab. The thermal stress inside the battery increases rapidly at the beginning and end of the discharging process while increasing slowly in the middle.

Summary: This study constructed three composite films, CrSiCN, CrBCN, and CrSiBCN, using closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering technology as protective films on silicon wafers and 316L stainless steel substrates to protect wearable device shell materials from corrosion caused by human sweat. The electrochemical behavior of Si and B element doped films under acidic and alkaline artificial sweat was investigated, along with the microstructural changes of the films. The results showed that the corrosion rate of the films was higher in acidic artificial sweat due to higher concentrations of chloride ions, hydrogen ions, and lactic acid corrosive ions, while the doping of boron element decreased the corrosion rate in acidic sweat and the dense and smooth surface of CrSiCN film enhanced its corrosion resistance in alkaline sweat.
