The inverse relationship between the tribological and mechanical properties of environmentally friendly selflubricant films,induced by the addition of soft lubricant agents that can diffuse quickly at elevated temperatures,has hindered the widespread use of these materials in industrial *** paper took this challenge to break through the above established relationship by developing novel nacrelike multilayered Mo_(2)N–SiN_(x)/Ag–SiN_(x)self-lubricant films via an radio frequency(RF)magnetron sputtering system for real applications where harsh conditions at elevated temperatures *** multilayered films,deposited by alternating deposition of Mo_(2)N–SiN_(x)and Ag–SiN_(x)modulation layers,exhibited three phases of face-centered cubic(fcc)Mo_(2)N,fcc Ag and SiN_(x),where SiN_(x)encapsulated the nano-crystalline Mo_(2)N and Ag phases in each layer to successfully induce a“brick and mortar”nacre-like microstructure(in the area without the coherent structure).The epitaxy growth of the Ag–SiN_(x)layers with thickness below 6 nm on the Mo_(2)N template resulted in an extraordinary increase in both the hardness and elastic modulus,which was able to prevent severe degradation of the mechanical properties caused by the addition of *** room-temperature anti-friction property could be enhanced by increasing the Ag–SiN_(x)layer thickness due to the excellent lubricant nature of Ag,which acts in synergy with Mo_(2)N,while the wear rate below 4×10^(−8)mm^(3)/(N·mm)was due to the high mechanical *** tribological properties at 600℃also benefited from the interlocked multilayered architecture,which allowed an extreme low friction coefficient of~0.12 and a negligible wear rate(WR).This behavior was attributed to the synergism between the lubricant action of Ag and Mo_(2)N and the tribo-phase transformation from Ag_(2)Mo_(4)O_(13)to Ag_(2)MoO_(4).

A combined experimental and computational analysis is performed to investigate the less commonly studied embryo-to-lamella transition of deformation twins in magnesium. This work aims to understand the structural variables controlling the embryo-to-lamella transition from grain boundaries. Statistical analysis of hundreds of early-stage twins in the lightly deformed microstructure reveals a prevailing wedge shape,with a much thicker base along the grain boundary(GB) where they originate and a thinner tip terminating in the crystal. The analysis also shows that the GB base is super thick and identifies a minimum GB twin thickness among all early-stage twins that is about one micron. A crystal plasticity-based full-field model is employed to calculate the driving forces to migrate the boundary of a three-dimensional GB twin embryo. The stress analysis, considering a full range of embryo shapes and neighboring grain orientations, indicate that the twin embryo is most likely going to form a wedge shape when it first propagates. The calculations predict that the thickness of the embryo at the GB needs to be significantly larger than its length into the crystal in order to propagate into the crystal. The analysis finds that the more aligned the twin embryo variant is with basal slip in the neighboring grain, the thinner the twin embryo needed for propagation.
