Effect of composition variation on the tribological behavior of PAI-based solid lubricant coatings

Key Points

• Tribological behavior is significantly affected by the composition variation of PAI-based coatings, leading to different wear rates.
• The study demonstrates that friction coefficients vary over a range of 0.05 to 0.15 depending on composition, emphasizing treatment importance.
• Assessment of solid lubricant coatings was conducted through comprehensive tribological testing under controlled conditions.
• These findings suggest that optimizing the composition could enhance the effectiveness of PAI-based coatings in various applications.
