Abstract

Friction and wear response of mechanical systems with sliding components are important for their reliability, energy efficiency and life span. Owing to the high specific strength of magnesium (Mg) alloys, their demand is growing significantly for various structural applications in various industries such as automotive and aerospace. However, considering the poor wear and friction response of these alloys, reducing wear and friction is critical to achieve desired performance for various engineering applications. From the last two decades, researchers have adopted numerous approaches to improve tribological properties of Mg-based systems but a detailed review on this topic is lacking. This review highlights various approaches which have been explored and can be considered for future development of Mg alloys for tribological applications. A detailed review of the most recent tribological studies of Mg alloys and its composites for macro-scale to nano-scale under dry and lubricated conditions is also emphasized in this paper.
