Ball-on-plate tribotesting of IVB element layers deposited on anodized aluminum alloys

This dataset contains a summary file (this one) and two spreadsheet files with coefficients of friction of anodic coatings with or without deposited layers of IVB elements, their oxides or selected other elements. Aluminum alloys 1050 and 6082 are used as substrates with 50 μm anodic coatings and 15-75 nm or higher thickness of the deposited layers. Corundum ball of 6 mm OD is used as a counter-body at 2 cm/s velocity under 1 N and 10 N loads. In this file, methodology, charts with coefficients of friction, X-ray reflectance data and calculations are provided to quantify the deposition rates on polished surfaces.
