Background:

Sliding bearings require low friction and high wear resistance.
Brass is a common material for sliding bearings but has limitations in tribological performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop advanced Cu/GO nanocomposite coatings for brass-based sliding bearings.
To improve the tribological performance of brass using brush plating with graphene oxide (GO).

Main Methods:

Brush plating method was used to create Cu/GO nanocomposite coatings.
Coating voltages ranged from 2 to 6 V with GO concentrations of 0.2-0.8 g/L.
Microstructure was characterized using SEM, EDX, GDOES, and XRD; tribological behavior was tested via dry ball-on-plane tests.

Main Results:

Graphene oxide (GO) was successfully incorporated into the entire composite coating layer.
Cu/GO composite coatings demonstrated a significant reduction in friction for brass.
Wear resistance was increased by two orders of magnitude compared to bare brass.

Conclusions:

Cu/GO nanocomposite coatings effectively improve the tribological properties of brass.
The self-lubricating properties of GO are key to the enhanced performance.
Brush plating is a viable method for producing these advanced tribological coatings.
