Tribological design of surfaces
Objective to enhance erosion resistance of
materials in nanosized
(NEMS/MEMS) up to macrosized components (tools)

• Challenging Strategies
• to act on ploughing resistance (e.g.
  nanostructured hard metals)
• to act on cracking sensitivity (e.g. multiphase
  nanomaterials and
• energy absorbing phase tranformation sensitive
  nanomaterials)
• to act on tribochemical behaviour (e.g. cameleon
  coatings) based
• on a positive synergism between mechanical,
  chemical, thermal, and
• electrochemical surface reactivity
  (bio/tribocorrosion)
• to act on a recoverable nanotexturing of
  surfaces (e.g. by
• 3D controlled phase or pore distribution in
  bulk nanomaterials)
