Definition
Adaptive hard coatings are and emerging generation of wear-resistant coatings. Adaptability of any material is related to the changes in its characteristics in response to an external stimulus, which leads to weakening of the effects of its influence. Application of adaptive coatings enables a tribo-system to shift to a milder wear mode due to formation of protective/lubricious tribo-films as a result of interaction with the external environment under operation.
Scientific Fundamentals
Friction is a complex phenomenon that is associated with a variety of different mechanical, physical, and chemical processes (Hardwicke 2003). Traditionally, this area of applied science and engineering has been examined mainly via a purely mechanical approach. However, a few decades ago, friction began to be looked at with a more generic concept of complexity (Beckerman 2000).
One achievement of modern physics is the development of concepts that...
