The Effect of Simultaneous Incorporation of PTFE Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes on the Tribological Behavior of Ni-P Coating

Hamid Rahmati; Farzad Mahboobi

Volume 5, Issue 3 , July 2016, Pages 73-81

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2016.38532

Abstract
  In some engineering fields, wear resistance and a low friction coefficient are required at the sametime. In this research, PTFE nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes were co-deposited within Ni-Pmatrix to obtain an Ni-P-PTFE-CNT hybrid coating for wear resistance and a low friction coefficient.The tribological ...  Read More
