title = "Wear Mechanisms of Coated Sliding Surfaces",
abstract = "The wear mechanisms of coated sliding surfaces are discussed. A new approach to analyse wear mechanisms of coated surfaces is presented. It is based on a classification of the tribological contact process into macromechanical, micromechanical and tribochemical changes, and material transfer. The wear process is dominated by the macromechanical mechanisms, which can be systematically analysed on the basis of four main parameters: the coating, substrate and counterface hardness relationship, the coating thickness, the surface roughnesses and the debris in the contact. This approach is intended to be of assistance in the reliable identification and evaluation of wear mechanisms and for systematic coating design and selection.",
