In addition,mechanical interface friction significantly impacts the efficiency,noise, accuracy, corrosion, reliability, and operational lifespans of equipment. Several studies have revealed various methods for reducing the coefficient of friction (COF) to the superlubricity state(COF <0.01) through efficient lubrication technology.展开更多
