Abstract
The process of film formation in self-lubricating composites and deformation of the film are analyzed by the slip-line field method. The results show that the size of the second-phase particles in the composite, the relative shear yield limit of the matrix and the soft phase, and the thickness of the film control the tribological performance of these composites. In a given contact condition, it is possible to modify the composite's microstructure to achieve an optimum performance, i.e. the lowest possible coefficient of friction.
