However, its practical use is considerably limited by issues such as poor dispersibility, susceptibility to agglomeration in non-polar lubricating oils, and inadequate high-temperature oxidation resistance. To overcome these challenges, this study utilized a hydrothermal method to in-situ grow CoAl-LDH on the surface of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub>, successfully creating a Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub>/CoAl-LDH composite. The steric hindrance effect of the heterostructure effectively addressed the dispersion stability problem of the additive in PAO6 base oil, while simultaneously enhancing the material’s oxidation resistance. Tribological tests indicate that, under conditions of 25 °C and 40 N, the incorporation of 0.2 wt% of this composite results in significant reductions in the average friction coefficient and wear volume of PAO6 base oil by 52.9 and 51.3%, respectively. At 200 °C and 40 N, the corresponding reductions are 39.1 and 39.4%. The remarkable friction-reducing and anti-wear performance can be attributed to the in-situ formation of a dense composite tribo-chemical film at the sliding interface during friction.

A newly developed lead-free coating (MoS<sub>2</sub>–Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Ag<sub>2</sub>O) was compared tribologically with the baseline (Kal-Gard FA) using reciprocating ball-on-flat sliding tests against an alumina ball under ambient conditions. The developed MoS<sub>2</sub>–Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Ag<sub>2</sub>O coating was further examined under normal loads ranging from 1 to 10 N to assess its load-bearing capacity. Both coatings exhibited comparable steady-state friction coefficients (~ 0.18–0.19) at 1 N despite differences in running-in behavior, with the MoS<sub>2</sub>–Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Ag<sub>2</sub>O coating requiring a longer running-in period.

Increasing the normal load from 1 to 8 N reduced both the running-in duration and the steady-state friction coefficient of MoS<sub>2</sub>–Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–Ag<sub>2</sub>O coating owing to improved shear accommodation within the MoS<sub>2</sub>-rich tribological interface.

The lipophilic performance was systematically characterized by static contact angle, oil spreading area, vertical climbing height, wetting hysteresis coefficient, and lubricating-oil adhesion force, and its correlation with tribological response was clarified. Compared with the untextured surface, the hybrid textures markedly improved oil wettability, spreading, capillary transport, and lubricant retention.

Consequently, #450 achieved the lowest average friction coefficient and wear rate, corresponding to reductions of 59.49% and 78.05%, respectively, relative to the untextured sample.

A key parameter governing these phenomena is the real contact area; however, to the best of our knowledge, the direct three-dimensional evaluation of the actual contact state at the tire rubber–asphalt interface remains lacking. Therefore, in this study, synchrotron-based micro-X-ray computed tomography (CT) is utilized to visualize the tire rubber–asphalt pavement interface under vertical loading conditions and evaluate the real contact area in three dimensions at the tread block scale. To this end, semi-manual image segmentation is applied to the CT data to distinguish between the aggregates, asphalt binder, tire rubber, and voids and extract the contact interface through three-dimensional reconstruction. Results reveal that real contact does not occur uniformly over the nominal contact area but is localized and governed by surface roughness. In addition, the real contact area showed an overall increase with increasing vertical load, demonstrating qualitative agreement with contact behavior predicted using the Greenwood–Williamson statistical contact model. Furthermore, X-ray transmission images show that an apparent displacement was observed on the asphalt side under vertical loading, suggesting caution when assuming a rigid pavement in the discussions on tire–road contact behavior.

Microstructural characterisation was performed using light, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy. Abrasive wear resistance was assessed by means of a T-07 tribotester operating under three-body abrasion conditions. The test arrangement was based on the principles of the ASTM G65-16 dry sand/rubber wheel abrasion test. Loose electrocorundum was used as the abrasive material, and all experiments were conducted under a constant load of 44 N. The results showed that martensitic microstructures exhibited significantly higher abrasive wear resistance than bainitic microstructures. The formation of upper bainite reduced hardness and intensified micro-cutting and micro-ploughing mechanisms. However, lower bainite obtained by austempering at temperatures corresponding to those used for martensite tempering exhibited comparable or even superior tribological performance despite its lower hardness, indicating that abrasive wear resistance is governed not only by hardness but also by microstructural characteristics.

This behavior is commonly associated with rupture fronts and process-zone effects. However, the mechanisms by which system size, temperature, driving rate, and loading geometry influence the emergence or suppression of the stiction peak remain incompletely understood. Here we investigate this problem using three minimal friction models with distinct loading geometries: a multi-particle Prandtl–Tomlinson system with independently driven particles/contacts, an end-driven Frenkel–Kontorova chain with elastic stress transmission along the interface, and a uniformly driven FK chain in which each site is coupled locally to the driving stage. We show that similar macroscopic suppression of breakloose friction can arise from fundamentally different mechanisms. In multi-particle PT systems, increasing system size or temperature promotes statistical dephasing of local depinning events, smoothing the global response. In end-driven FK chains, internal elasticity redistributes stress along the interface, delaying sliding onset and, together with higher temperature or slower driving, enabling progressive relaxation during loading. In uniformly driven FK chains, distributed loading partitions the interface into multiple local loading–relaxation domains, reducing both the breakloose peak and the mean sliding force while preserving local stick–slip dynamics. These results demonstrate that the presence or absence of a breakloose peak does not uniquely identify a single physical mechanism, but instead reflects the interplay of local pinning, elastic coupling, and contact architecture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":"74 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11249-026-02185-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148751272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it typically extends single-asperity contact behavior to the entire surface via the area distribution law, assuming that all asperities are fully deformed. This simplification fails to adequately describe the actual contact state. To overcome this limitation, this paper introduces a contact ratio and develops a multiscale contact model that can appropriately capture the asperity contact condition. First, a single-asperity elastoplastic constitutive model is constructed with the mean absolute slope (MAS), and the contact ratio is introduced to characterize the contact state. Based on this single-asperity model, statistical extension to the whole surface is realized through the area distribution function. Subsequently, a method for calculating the contact ratio of rough surfaces and an MAS-based truncation contact model are presented. Using the proposed model, the variation of the contact ratio with fractal parameters is revealed, and the effective computational range of the truncation contact model is discussed. Finally, the accuracy and applicability of the model are validated through finite element simulations, comparisons with classical experimental data, and independent compression experiments on scraped surfaces. This study offers a new perspective for advancing rough surface contact theory.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":806,"journal":{"name":"Tribology Letters","volume":"74 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148750520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
