The article considers the issues of contact interaction of nanostructured zirconium dioxide crystals with molybdenum coating on titanium-based alloy ВТ9. The following statement is substantiated: the best mechanical properties of crystals correspond to the total amount of 2.8% additives of stabilizing and doping rare earths elements. Antifriction properties of crystals under dry friction against molybdenum are investigated. Tribological testing was performed on a reciprocating friction gauge simulating the operation of a plunger in a cylinder. The high scoring resistance of the friction couple under study was experimentally proved; the friction coefficient did not exceed 0.07. On the basis of the study performed, the friction couple is defined as promising for increasing the lifetime and reliability of friction units for hydraulic equipment and fuel pumps.
