Abstract
The tribological behaviors of chromium-based ceramic composite coating (CCC) and diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) are investigated by reciprocating sliding experiments, respectively, under lubrication conditions with and without 5CB liquid crystal additives. The addition of 5CB significantly improves the lubrication performance and protects the coatings, which is attributed to the formation of a thin lubricating film on the friction surface by 5CB molecules. The reduction in friction and wear of the CCC friction pair is more obvious, implying that the formation of the lubricating film is affected by the coating. These findings suggest a great potential for the use of liquid crystal lubricant additive in combination with solid wear-resistant coatings, which is helpful for the development of high-performance lubrication systems.
期刊介绍：
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
