Sažetak
The main goal of tribological coatings is to enable a certain tribosystem to function in the normal wear regime until the end of the designed service life or longer. The application of surface coatings for protection against wear and corrosion is today the most researched area of tribology. The scientific field of surface engineering deals with the development of and research on coating and surface modification procedures and the properties and application of tribological coatings.Numerous requirements can be imposed on a tribological coating ; thus, an ideal coating should fulfill the following set of requirements [1, 6, 8]: (a) good adhesion to the base material, (b) increased hardness to withstand abrasion, (c) sufficient toughness to prevent peeling, (d) good chemical stability, (e) activity in forming a tribological film of lubricant or oxide, (f) thermal stability, (g) sufficient shear strength to resist contact pressures, and (h) adaptability to the substrate.This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers to share current research findings and to promote further research into the mechanical behavior of advanced multifunctional coatings, including experimental modeling and theoretical calculations.
