Research abstract
Technology Assessment and Transfer will demonstrate the potential of novel, low friction and low wear coatings that are capable of providing long term durability for air cycle machine foil bearings. A systematic approach with a high probability of success includes the following: unique low friction, wear resistant alloys and lubricating ceramic composites, magnetron sputtering, the ideal method for depositing thin, adherent single and multilayer coatings on high temperature alloy substrates; comprehensive characterization methods - XRD, SEM, EDS to optimize coating chemistry and microstructure; wide temperature range tests of friction and wear including start-stop tests to determine and compare the capabilities and potential of the experimental foil and journal coatings for enhanced performance.
