COMPOSITIONAL EFFECTS ON THE SURFACE FINISH OF THE PS400 SOLID LUBRICANT COATING

摘要

NASA has recently developed a new solid lubricant coating, PS400, as an outgrowth of earlier work that resulted in the PS100, PS200 and PS300 family of plasma sprayed coatings [1]. These four distinct families of coatings were engineered over the last four decades to address specific tribological challenges encountered in various aerospace systems.
