Scientists from the Ural Federal University proposed using ceramic coatings to reduce the wear and tear of car parts. Tests have shown that it makes spare parts more reliable and extends their service life by an order of magnitude.
As TASS reports with reference to the press service of UrFU, when applying the developed super-hard ceramic coating, the heat resistance of, for example, a valve of a combustion engine is maintained up to a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius, the resistance to oxidative and abrasive wear increases with 480%, and the life of the part increases by 10 times. Bismuth-modified steel exhibits enviable resistance to friction and wear, even in the harshest oil-deficient conditions.
The simplicity, cost-effectiveness and reliability of the method can significantly extend the service life of components and assemblies in various areas of mechanical engineering, including the automotive industry, the developers noted. Importantly, the coating is universal: it operates at high rotational speeds and heavy loads, at extremely low or high temperatures, and when it is impossible to maintain the required thickness of the lubricating layer. Now scientists plan to put the technology into practice together with various companies.
