Using molecular dynamics, we simulate the abrasion process of an atomically rough Fe surface with multiple hard abrasive particles. By quantifying the nanoscopic wear depth in a time-resolved fashion, we show that Barwell's macroscopic wear law can be applied at the atomic scale. We find that in this multiasperity contact system, the Bowden-Tabor term, which describes the friction force as a function of the real nanoscopic contact area, can predict the kinetic friction even when wear is involved. From this the Derjaguin-Amontons-Coulomb friction law can be recovered, since we observe a linear dependence of the contact area on the applied load in accordance with Greenwood-Williamson contact mechanics.

The petroleum industry is essential for supplying crude oil, which is vital for fuel and chemicals and drives substantial investments in technologies, especially in regard to increasing the durability of the drill strings used in wellbore construction. This study aims to establish and to validate a hardbanding technology for reconditioning NC50 tool joints subjected to wear, thereby increasing drill pipe durability and reducing the risk of failure during drilling, which can lead to ecological pollution, human safety issues, and financial costs. The hardbanding of the tool joints was carried out using the gas metal arc welding process (GMAW) with two different wear-resistant wires, ARNCO 100XT and FLUXOFIL M58.

Achieving fast and long-lasting superlubricity in two-dimensional (2D) materials under high-stress conditions is challenging due to their susceptibility to structural deformations, limited load-bearing capacity, oxidation, and thermal degradation. This study introduces an innovative strategy by utilizing a composite of MXene and H-DLC, where, under high-stress conditions, H-DLC acts as a preferential energy-absorbing phase. MXene serves as a template to rapidly and continuously transform the absorbed energy into graphene-like structures, forming an in situ heterogeneous MXene/graphene-like interface.

Article Synopsis
- A new method has been developed to achieve superlubricity on solid surfaces that remains effective in high-humidity conditions, overcoming previous challenges related to water and oxidation.
- This method uses a combination of microscale graphite flakes and graphene nanoflake-coated hydrogen-free amorphous carbon, leading to a very low coefficient of friction (0.0035) and minimal wear even after prolonged air exposure.
- The innovation allows for scaling up from tiny contacts to larger surfaces (3 mm) while maintaining efficient lubrication, opening up new possibilities for practical applications in various environments.

Herein, a quaternary ammonium surfactant with dual heads and tails, ,,,,-pentamethyl--(3-(2-tetradecylhexadecanamido)propyl)propane-1,3-diaminium dibromide, abbreviated as Di-C14-N2, was synthesized. For the first time, clear observation of aggregate structures formed by surfactants in pure glycerol systems was achieved using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The system's rheological properties were analyzed using both steady-state shear and oscillatory rheological measurements.

During the process of chip formation, the chip is subjected to extrusion pressure, friction, heat, and a strong chemical reaction. The chip's macro and micro morphology, to a certain extent, reflect the condition of the tool during the cutting procedure. Therefore, researching the macroscopic and microscopic morphology of the chip's surface in response to different tool wear conditions is of great significance to reproducing the cutting condition and analyzing the tool wear mechanism.
