High temperature sliding of TiC-based hardmetal coating against TWIP steel

Puntos clave

• Sliding friction reduces significantly under high temperature conditions, improving durability.
• The TiC-based hardmetal coating shows enhanced wear resistance with a measured decrease in friction coefficient by 0.4.
• Assessment using tribological testing demonstrates efficient performance across varying temperatures.
• Findings suggest potential for improved industrial applications, though further testing remains necessary.
