Effect of sliding brass pin over the adhere surfaces of magnetron sputtered monolayer composites

The main objective of this paper is to generate the combination of two metal monolayer likes; Al/Au (aluminium/Gold), Nb/w (Niobium/Tungsten) and Ni/Gd (Nickel/Gadolinium) with the help of magnetron sputtering method. The monolayers were generated with the variation of metal layers. The 30 bilayers of each material were deposited for all monolayers composite. The wear and friction coefficient behaviour of monolayers specimens were obtained from reciprocating wear test instrument. The results show that the wear of Nb/w specimens was lower in comparison of Ni/Gd and Al/Au specimens. The adhesion was more in case of Al/Au specimens than Ni/Gd and Nb/w specimens. Thus the wear rate of Al/Au specimens was more than the Ni/Gd and Nb/w specimen. These indicates that the friction force, coefficient of friction, sliding temperature, wear loss severally affected with the change of different materials of mono layers.
