Gold coating are widely used in industry due to their corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and low contact resistance. However, friction and wear can limit their functionality and lifetime. This study addresses the degradation of a commercial finely turned brass surface coated with an adhesion chromium layer, a NiP hard coating and finally at the surface by a self-lubricating gold layer.
