Analysis of changes in the mechanical properties of the surface layers of aluminum alloys under the conditions of sliding friction

Calculation of the Growth/Wear Kinetics of a Solid Lubricant Film in a Thrust Plain Bearing

“…Self-lubricating composites containing a solid lubricant in the form of a soft phase are widely used in modern technology. Friction of such a composite results in the release of lubricant and the formation of a surface solid lubricant film [1,2]. To date, a number of theoretical models for the formation of such a film have been developed, using the concept of plastic squeezing out of a lubricant from a composite as a result of deformation of its matrix [3][4][5].…”
