Kinetics of fretting wear of TiC/VC coatings on M2 HSS steel

Abstract

Summary form only given. The purpose of this study was the tribological analysis of modulated TiC/VC coatings deposited by an indirect method on M2 high speed steel. The fretting test under gross slip condition has been applied allowing the calculation of friction coefficients and wear resistance. The results of the test were used for quantification of fretting damage using a recent energy approach to the fretting wear.
