The composite surface oxide layers were produced using a two-step technology through hard anodising of the surface of an aluminium alloy, followed by thermochemical treatment of anodic oxide coatings. The surface oxide layers were subjected to tribological tests in an oil-less sliding couple with T5W plastic. The presented test results confirm the usefulness of the proposed modifications of surface oxide layers for the purpose of enhancing the operational durability of oil-less sliding couples in a reciprocating motion.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Surface oxide layers with an increased carbon content for applications in oil-less tribological systems}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84761/PDF/12-paper-Kmita.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10176-012-0040-z}, keywords={surface oxide layer, composite surface oxide layer, tribology}, }
