Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a coating that could dramatically reduce friction in common load-bearing systems with moving parts, from vehicle ...

High-tech coatings for engine and driveline parts have been around for decades, but they have had a voodoo mystique about them that scares off the typical hot rodder. It's kind of like the stigma ...

Material removal in the cutting process is regarded as a friction system with multiple input and output variables. The complexity of the cutting friction system is caused by the extreme conditions ...

Tribological coatings minimize friction and wear on components such as those found in automotive engines. Hauzer Techno Coating offers tribological coatings such as DLC, CrN and ta-C for bulk ...

Typical physical-vapor-deposition (PVD) hard coatings are 20 times thinner than a human hair, yet they can drastically improve performance, boost reliability, and extend service lives of tool and ...

Minnesota Rubber and Plastic released its F-Treat process as an alternative to lubrication and surface coating. F-Treat, an application for elastomers, bonds a low-friction treatment to the surface of ...
