Nitrogen supersaturation in the expanded FCC layer promoted hardening due to the higher compressive residual stresses. The results showed the formation of a nitrided layer consisting of nitrogen expanded FCC phase (γN) and CrN nitride, respectively. Friction coefficient, mechanical failure mode and critical loads for damaging the nitrided case, using the linear scratch test, were carried out at a linearly increased normal force. The scratch test results showed that the nitrided layer strongly decreased the apparent friction coefficient in comparison with the non-nitrided alloy. Tensile cracking was the prevalent mechanical failure mode of the nitrided layer. Microabrasion results showed that the nitriding layer improving the wear resistance. For the nitrided samples, wear coefficients were determined for the nitrided layer and the substrate, indicating a change in the wear volume loss rate with the test distance.

The high-temperature dry sliding wear tests were performed at 18 m/min sliding velocity, 10 N normal load, and silicon nitride (1580 HV0.3) as counter material on the pin on disc tribometer, as per ASTM G99 standard. The specific wear rate and the coefficient of friction were compared to assess the behaviour of APS and HVOF coatings. For both coatings, the specific wear rates increased with the temperature. As compared to the APS coating, the HVOF coating had enhanced wear resistance at high-temperature, due to the close packed partially melted particles, low oxide inclusion, low porosity and high hardness.

The Cu nanoparticles were synthesised and characterised after mixing with the lubricant for their physico-chemical characteristics. The experiments were performed on a reciprocating tribo-tester using actual piston rings and the liners as test specimens. Experiments were performed to investigate the effect of nanoparticle concentration with the change of contact loads and reciprocating frequency on the coefficient of friction. The study reveals that the Cu nanoparticles blended in the engine lubricating oils can significantly reduce friction between piston ring–liner contact, desirable for fuel economy improvement. The Cu nanoparticles are compatible with base lubricants and result in significant friction reduction. The CuS nanoparticles performed significantly better than the CuO nanoparticles.

When a cutting fluid with ≥ 0.5 wt.% WS2 was used, the COF of the tribosystem was reduced compared to CF + 0%WS2. The lowest COF of 0.05 was obtained when 1.0 wt.% WS2 was used. Low and stable COF values were accompanied by the formation of a tribolayer incorporating WS2 and WO3 on the WC-Co surfaces.
