Solid Lubrication with Continuous Replenishment by Catalytically Generated Carbon and Related Means

将评估高温下在摩擦表面上原位生成润滑碳膜的情况。在研究的第一部分，证明了燃烧气体和其他含碳气体在含镍表面和某些常见陶瓷表面受到摩擦学相互作用时催化形成这种薄膜是可行的。这部分研究的目的是确定碳膜的性质、形成参数及其摩擦学性能。

The in situ generation of lubricating carbonaceous films on rubbing surfaces at elevated temperatures will be evaluated. In the first part of the study it was proven feasible to catalyze formation of such films from combustion gases and other carbonaceous gases on surfaces containing nickel and on the surfaces of certain common ceramics when they are subjected to tribological interactions. This part of the study aims at determining the nature of the carbonaceous films, their formation parameters and their tribological properties.
