Abstract

Increasingly, parts of the mechanical systems demand complex properties like: friction, abrasion, corrosion, shock rtesistance, local heating. In this context, industrial strategy aims to improve the performance and extend the life of mechanical systems by applying thermal and thermochemical treatments, including coatings with metallic materials (such as hard chroming) or composite (such as NiP layer), resistant to friction. These can be applied by electrochemical or electromagnetic field (PCM process). In this paper one attempts to analyze the behavior of the friction in air for NiP and the composite layer(NiP/talc) at room temperature..
