Abstract
The use of low friction wear resistant coatings for machine components is rapidly increasing. These components may operate in any lubrication regime, and less frequently even unlubricated. When run unlubricated it is easy to see the beneficial effect of a low friction coating. However, it has frequently been shown that the coating may also be very beneficial under boundary and mixed lubrication conditions. The present digest briefly presents a few interesting aspects of the use of low friction coatings in lubricated contact illustrated by selected experimental results.
