Summary

This paper investigates tribological performance of hard coatings and polymer interfaces under lunar regolith. Simulants and materials tested include DLC, Ti-MoS2, PS400, and ATSP. Key findings include friction coefficients, abrasion resistance, and dust ejection capabilities. The paper discusses the tribological behavior of hard coatings under lunar regolith simulant conditions. It presents experimental results on the wear and friction characteristics of coatings such as TiN, CrN, and DLC when exposed to simulated lunar soil. The study highlights the importance of coating microstructure and composition in determining their performance under abrasive and oxidative conditions. The results suggest that coatings with higher hardness and lower friction coefficients are more suitable for lunar surface applications.
