Abstract

The results of experimental determination of the wear intensity coefficient and the friction coefficient in the steel-bronze BrNBT and steel–molybdenum coating contact are shown. To determine the tribotechnical parameters of the coating, experiments were carried out on a Tribometer TRB automated friction machine of the Swiss company ANTON PAAR according to the ball–disk scheme. It is shown that the average coefficient of friction for a sample with a molybdenum coating is almost two times lower than for a sample without a coating. With the help of the SURTRONIC 25 profile meter, a profilogram was obtained to determine the coefficient of wear intensity. At a run of 50,000 m, the coefficient of wear intensity for a sample made of BrNBT material without coating at a maximum contact voltage of 507 MPa is 2.48 × 10–4 mm3/m, and for a sample with a molybdenum coating was 1.98 × 10–5 mm3/m, which is 12.5 times less. Recommendations for the use of a molybdenum antifriction coating are given.
