Tribological coatings

Tribological coatings are specialized surface layers applied to tools, machinery, or components to reduce friction, wear, and corrosion during operation. They improve performance, extend lifespan, and decrease maintenance needs by creating a smoother, more durable surface. These coatings can be made from materials like ceramics, metals, or composites, tailored to the specific conditions the part will face. Essentially, they act as protective shields that enhance efficiency and reliability in various mechanical systems, from engines to industrial equipment.
