Abstract

The results of a study of the friction and wear characteristics of the developed nanostructured glass-composite self-lubricating detonation coatings with the composition SiC–Ni–Cu–Al–Si–C additionally containing a SiO2–Al2O3–B2O3 aluminoborosilicate glass phase and structurally free MgC2, which forms α‑graphite during thermal decomposition are presented. It is indicated that their synergistic effect promotes the creation of an antifriction surface layer that minimizes contact parameters. An increase in the adhesion strength of the coatings is achieved by preliminarily applying a sublayer of glass-like sodium silicate Na2O(SiO2)2 onto the working surface. It is noted that the intercalation of the graphite layer by the particles of the subsurface zone does not affect the tribotechnical characteristics of the coatings. The developed coatings show high performance properties; here, the way of wear stabilization is the presence of a thin-film antifriction layer based on α-graphite, which shields unacceptable processes of molecular adhesion interaction.
