Influence of load and sliding speed on friction coefficient of IBAD deposited TiN

Abstract

The influence of applied load and sliding speed on the tribological performance, i. e. friction and wear of TiN IBAD coating in sliding with corundum ball has been evaluated using reciprocating sliding wear test. Post characterization of wear zones was conducted using AFM, SEM and EDX. The results show that coefficient of friction decrease with decreasing applied load and with increasing the sliding speeds.
